100%. As I have advocated for years, If somehow malware gets in, you just restore your machine with the malwareless system image backup you make...
I use Defender and OsArmor (set to medium) and do an image backup daily. I have never-ever had malware. If you are rational as to your computing...
It all depends on what samples are used. I suspect the statistical variance is much larger than many would assume based on the samples selected....
8 zillion pop-ups make it unusable.
A better solution is to make an image backup daily. Second opinions are not really necessary.
I am aware of course, but that is why I have stated 100 times on this site that the ultimate security is a daily image backup. And the argument...
Spyware will not be missed by today's AVs and yet, nothing is 100% secure. What I have recommended for years on this forum is to do a daily image...
You are correct about the four you list. I meant to say that some of them have annoying pop-ups when I tested them. That is not snake-oil- no...
True- but they are snake oil to me and that was my point.. The only AV I have tested that has none is Defender.
A lot of snake oil in many of them. They troll-in the unsuspecting thinking all the "extras" are a value.
This forum is largely about trying to find the "perfect" security setup which doesn't exist and never will. Defender is all you need and a daily...
K7 for me and my testing was not acceptable because of the large number of pop-ups (like many AVs now) which for the most part are largely...
I don't think these tests mean much because they were tested on a specific machine with specific specs. It means something for their test machine...
No need at all for dual AV engines. More is not better. I am an high-risk internet user and I have never had any kind of malware-ever. Use...
Ya, but the problem is variance. Look at prior month's results and you will find that TM had decent results. Hard to fathom that there could be...
It is wrong to assert/imply that people who use WD are not security conscious. I was a pioneer in computers and computer security, and I laugh at...
I use WD and OS Armour and never had any malware ever and I am very high risk. You changed your original statement from malware to cleaning so...
What malware is that?
Completely agree with auto-block comment. If users have to make judgements as to a file being malware- the program is not worth anything in...
The results show marginal differences amongst the programs and that is assuming 100% objective testing, etc. The tests are basically irrelevant.
They all may be data vampires because we don't know for sure what is going on under the hood.
Yes indeed- they make money on your data and the software is "free" but remember: TANSTAAFL.
With a plethora of pop-ups as well. I have had about 2 Defender pop-ups since I started using WD and I have used it from the inception. It is...
No problem- it wasn't personal or directed at you- just a generic reply to a number of posts.
Discussing ultra-low probability possibilities is not useful. Yes, an undetected meteor might strike earth, but to spend time discussing...
