I guess that 100% protection rating for Trend Micro from AV Comparatives (Real World Feb-May 2021) was not as 100% as they thought.
100% in agreement. There are dozens of nags in all of them except WD. And the tests show it is as good (or better) than many of them.
Consolidation of companies is often because of lack of profitability. I have said often here that soon AVs will cost next to nothing or be free....
Looks like we are back to bashing WD. The problem is, the tests that I use (and my own) reveal that it is as effective as any of the others and...
You got that right. Your data with them is like having a million thieves in your home at one time.
I have heard this argument before but I am highly skeptical that stolen data is a major problem for a PC user unless they are totally incompetent....
I don't use any of them- just Windows stock firewall and WD. I have argued on this forum for 14 years that the only secure way to insure the...
Yes and all mentioned except WD above have numerous "pop-ups" and warnings of various kinds that I find hugely annoying. WD is well behaved and...
That was covered to some degree in one of the recent AV Comparatives tests based on "offline" efficacy> Microsoft, Panda and Trend Micro were the...
It does not outperform in terms of false positives and to an experienced user, that may be of far better value. And, if Avast has a better...
I mentioned before that all but one of the 11 AVs I tested corrupted one or more Win10 files on my main computer. I needed to repair them via the...
It is also not easy to get a refund. I had to deal with 2Checkout and heard nothing for five days and I sent them another email asking where's my...
It was too heavy on my machines and I got a refund.
I tested both of them but took WD over both.
Without advocating a "conspiracy theory" regarding the absence of Microsoft, you can now buy most AVs for almost nothing ( I just got a Vipre...
Cannot be disabled-if at all. I would rather have an AV that is "built-in" than other AVs three of which damaged Win10 files on my main machine in...
It is the fastest on four of my systems and most are top-end. I know this contradicts the AV Comparatives data, but...I think Microsoft is making...
As to marketing, I get zero promotions from MS for WD, but dozens a week from other AV vendors and the most come from product producers from which...

You are I are totally in sync and identical in our approach and logic. I create an image each day and have for many years. No AV is 100%...
The pop-ups in the vast majority of AVs are absurd. Sure they might tell some things to novices, but to experienced users, they are almost...
I quit using nine other AVs because of the popups> with the exception being WD and Sophos Home Premium. Sophos is as fast on four of my computers...
Not me and I am running it on four computers that are all over the internet.
Good stuff. Very light and so far very effective.
Not just relatively quiet- a lot more quiet than many of the most popular. That alone for me is a major benefit that few of the others can offer.
