At some point users will decide that there is no need to pay for any AV. I determined that and I cannot be more pleased with no-hassle performance...
Too much paranoia about this stuff as I have argued to years. I am on the internet 13 hours a day and have for years and never-ever had any kind...
100%. There is too much money in the game (follow the money) that could incentivize many AV firms to "sell" your information to marketers, etc. I...
Thats why I said "if"
If Kaspersky sponsored this, it is the equivalent of companies paying another company to evaluate a product or service and this happens a lot in...
I could not get them to get the backup function to work because they said I had three user accounts under my name. I suggested they delete the two...
Worst customer service I have ever experienced and that is saying something. I too had difficulty getting a refund- but I did. And with the...
agreed
I don't agree at all with F-secure. It screwed up some of my system files and I had to restore. It happened seven times, so while that may not be...
Of course its how they are measuring it and statistics can be "bent" to show any bias, etc. So yes, the tests themselves can be subjective and...
100% and that is all I use after testing the others...
Lighter is highly subjective and is dependent on the machine used to test. It is what works on your machine that counts at the end of the day....
I have a license and installed it and observed it for a few weeks. Works ok, but not better than WD (in most tests). Save your money...
So you would disagree with the data from AV Compartives which consistently has Panda right at the top of the number of FPs?
Panda has far too many FPs- I don't think that qualifies for best performance.
For "performance" what do you recommend? I have licenses for most and would be happy to try-out what you recommend on my five computers.
My experience with "tech support" having "tested" 13 AVs is that there is next to none and in some cases absolutely none. So good luck as to help...
You don't need to pay for robust protection; Defender as good as most (or better) and zero false positives. No wonder most AV vendors are almost...
100%. Too many here want to tinker and add something they assert needs to be added without proof.
100%. I think they monitor web traffic as well (except WD) and that's why the third party firms give free versions. Remember Heinlein's TANSTAAFL:...
Correct and there is a hidden premise here that this 3rd party program described is efficacious and to me, that is far from a given (and as you...
I could not agree more. There is no need for add-ons or "enhancements" > if it ain't broke-don't fix it. I use it on five computers as it comes...
It requires a lot of blind faith (confidence) in the methodology when all the information is not disclosed. That is often the weak point of much...
It slowed down mine a lot.
100% correct. Paying for AVs is like putting your money in the stove.
