    In that case I'm throwing down the challenge flag and let the refs take a look at the replay. If I lose then I'm taking my USB stick and going home. :cool:

    No but you skewed the poll. Hitman Pro is still an AV even thou it is on demand. And I did put in an option for MBAM. Should have picked MBAM or Other.

    Kaspersky's popularity was surprisingly low.

    Make me wonder why... They used to be much more popular and had a decent reputation.

    Their detection is great, it's just that their app is so buggy

    Their latest revelations and contradicting statements won't gain them any more customers.

    Liking it so far.. Very minimal system impact and I would say the only AV with no ads and crapware.. Receives regular updates..

    Kaspersky Internet Security 2015, I curently have licenses for Eset and Bitdefender and just started using KIS2015 a couple weeks ago and so far I am very impressed with it.

    Well it's not most. 76% of responding members still use some kind of AV. Others probably use other security mechanisms that allow us to go without AV.

    Actually if you think about it, an AV's main purpose is idiot-resistant protection. Not a security professional's best friend.
