Windows 8 Vs Antivirus


          My experience with windows 8 has been a very good one, though windows 10 is out now and its probably the greatest version of windows of all time. Ever since I started using windows 8, ive always had a better experience compared to windows 7 and windows XP. Windows 8 is swift smooth and easy to handle. It seemed so perfect. It is very compatible and faster on systems with very low specifications compared to windows 7 and below. I get irritated when I see some folks still using windows 7 at this time of Life.

          As time went by i began to have issues with my antivirus (I preferred avast) because of the software crackings I usually do with my computer. The antivirus always detects my crack softwares as Malwares and hides them from me. I would have to go to the antivirus software and report the alert as false/negative (avast users you know what I’m talking about). I got freaked out doing this all the time so I just went on to uninstall the antivirus. I was too happy when I got rid of this big bouncer knocking me off all the time.


          Time kept counting on…. and on…. and on…. Two years past, I still didn’t notice I wasn’t using an antivirus on my system. I was just using SMADAV, a very popular USB drive scanner to make sure my system doesn’t get infected by some external dirty USB flashdrive or something. This was all I had as a viral protection on my system. I would just do a full time scan once in two years… hahahaha… Yea, right I said one in two years, I still would find no virus. Don’t that think my virus definitions are outdated is the reason why I don’t find any viruses on my system, because I update my virus definitions on a monthly basis. It doned on me that I actually never needed and antivirus on my system. I only needed a bouncer at the door of my USB to knock out incoming missiles of viral infections launched to my computer.


          I think the windows 8 built in antivirus (Windows Defender) is good enough to handle attacks if there be any. Because I know I’m always on the internet looking for something to down load, so I must have downloaded an infected file somehow, somewhere. So I believe the windows defender takes care of any infections coming from the internet. This is where I came to a conclusion that windows 8 and above (8.1, 10) does not actually need an external antivirus, but just a bouncer at the input devices to clean up every file coming into the computer via USB.



          Now you know about this little secret(or should I call it a fact?), you can enjoy your computer using the Windows 8 and higher without the issues of antivirus blocking or limiting you from using certain softwares you want to use, especially for crackers. Enjoy your PC now!!!
