PCWorld 28 January 2013
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2025...wn-9-antivirus-suites-empirically-tested.html

1. F-Secure Internet Security 2013
2. Norton Internet Security 2013
3. Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security 2013
4. Bitdefender Internet Security 2013
5. Kaspersky Internet Security 2013

 

F-Secure again!!!

 

F-Secure? Really?

 

F-Secure rocks!!!

 

hmm which av engine does F-secure use please.?

 

Bitdefender

 

Its been awhile since I've used it. I always felt it was sub par. Guess things have changed.

 

ok thanks.
So it would be safe to assume that bitdefender is the true victor here.
If the bitdefender engine were taken out of F-secure what are you left with that could attain a high result.?

Not just the BitDefender engine, it has it's own engines too, including it's in-house BlackLight anti Rootkit engine.

 

F-secure has been a fantastic product for years. it used to be quite heavy but it that is improving every year.

 

Congrats to Norton. Fastest in both tests with excellent protection.

 

Heavy it what I recall as well. Just never cared for their product.

 

Using F-Secure here with no problems. A little heavy on the boot time but outside of that very happy with it.

 

Interesting...ESET took it in the shorts but well done F-Secure and Symantec. Have been reading a lot about F-Secure improvements and it must be true! Waiting for trjam to weigh in!!!

 

I didn't care for NIS 2013 clean-up scores. That frankly surprised me since Norton always lead the pack in that area in previous versions.

 

Eset is the pits. V6 is not what it should have been. I do agree F-Secure is very good but it has sooooooooooooo many processes to run. I would choose Kaspersky before F-Secure just on this factor alone. Right now WSA is fitting the bill. The heck with tests and You-Tube porn, WSA actually may be the best thing out their since McDonalds invented McNuggets.

 

There you go! And my WSA is about to expire.....but running KIS currently. What to do..

 

I would stick with kaspersky.

 

It is simple RR. Have you been infected while using WSA. If no, renew it, you can literally get it for nothing if you look. If you are wanted a traditional suite then get KIS. It is something very light and unobstrusive, or something light, with all the bells and whistles. Your pick.

For me, for now, it is something I just don't even think about, but works.

 

Six month free trial WSA AV 2013 here:

Or get BitDefender Free. Very light, but with all the detection of BDAV, but maybe wait for the update that will get rid of auto-deletion of malware.

 

Congrats F-Secure!
They got some very effective modules in there. Mikko are you there...

 

I don't really think that counts for much. I've been running no antivirus for a year and a half now and I'm not infected.

 

Free ranking (Protection):
1. AVG
2. avast!
3. Panda Cloud Antivirus

Looks like i'm going to replace Windows Defender with AVG looking at this
