I thought Intel owned McAfee, or am I thinking of a different company? They bought something like 10-12 years back.
I did not know Norton had purchased Avira. It will be interesting to see how many free AVs remain in the future.
The ram usage argument is silly. I guess a lot of people don't care that each generation of PC they buy requires more and more ram. Personally, I...
Does this program run in ram 24/7?
I had to use the Bitdefender uninstall tool (for paid) to remove the free version. As other pointed out, MD defender isn't perfect, but it's so...
I was going to give the new free version a try, but they want me to uninstall CFW, which I am not in the mood to do. Edit: And now they are...
I had no idea another free version came out. They really communicated poorly on this. I figured they just killed it off, and didn't realize they...
Wow. It says "Free" in the announcement.
Today I got an email regarding a new version. Anyone know if there are any real changes? "Our new free antivirus protection – now updated with...
My v3.03 has not updated. Does it have to be installed over the top? It won't download on it's own?
So is the wifi thing a bug? If so I will wait and not install this new version.
If you run the scan after install, and it monitors in real time, is there any reason to run scheduled scans?
Interesting the reviewer says "Ram Usage: Light". On my machine it uses 400meg of ram. Spawns like 10 different processes, and they are not all...
I'll likely eventually end up using MS Defender again, but have enjoyed testing Comodo AV atm. It's much quieter and user friendly than back in...
I've decided to give Kaspersky Free another go. When downloading, it asks if I want the California or Non-California version. It appears the...
Maybe not, but they certainly are not the lessor of evils.
I just feel without being online, you are very unlikely to encounter a virus anyway. And that I am online 99.7% anyway.
Almost every program scores 6 on performance. How are they all above average?
My work laptop has 8gb of ram, and handles things fine. I feel the whole ">=16gb of ram or bust" thing is over done. Sure it is better, but if...
No I have controlled folders off. It was really acting up when I was trying to install Jellyfin. And on my Dads PC, it wouldn't let him log into...
Has defender become hyperactive since the recent windows update? Seems to gripe about so much lately. Suddenly it has gone all Comodo on me,...
For me it will usually flag it on download. Then I just override to keep the file.
AV-Tests results have always been interesting. They usually rate Defender highly for system impact, while AV_comparatives always trashes it....
I don't notice slowdowns from WD, with one possible exception that I am not sure if it is WD or Windows in general. Often when I go to copy a...
The obvious assumption is that subscription based means "annual fee".
Separate names with a comma.
