Agree, I used for more than a year and never got ONE SINGLE warning that was not a false positiv. Which is the actual real problm I have with basically all AV software. Win Defender never does that.... But I will try these Emisoft and Zemana portable ones. Malwarebytes works fine, but this continuous harrassing with their updates to allow them tzo collect all the data they want, is getting on my nerves. Everytime you use it, you have to remember to answer No THREE TIMES!
At least you don't need an active internet connection once it is updated to use it on offline machines.
I like Windows Defender on win10 because it is built-in and system aware, i don't like MSE on Win7 because as a standalone product i have to install, i rather install something way more solid.
I think it's better you stick with Kaspersky Anti Virus because it gives advance level of security what others hardly offers in that range, rest assured of the sluggishness of pc after installation of kaspersky Anti virus as I myself a avid user of that brand.
Any oppinions regarding AVG? I replaced Avast with that one, mainly because of the bloatware Avast had (even if you can disable it, it was annoying)
I would stay away from it, considering that Avast and AVG are made by the same company, Avast is a better choice, but I guess they will merge eventually.
You miss the point. They ALL are companies and understandably want to earn as much money as possible. There software per definition has access to EVERYTHING in your computer. What is to prevent them from using this? If a software is free. YOU are the price. Much more interesting is the question: Why use any of them?
