Kaspersky, Norton, MS, all good. AV test website lists reviews and tests for each AV vendor.
The top four are all good (Norton (Symantec), Avast, Bitdefender, Kaspersky). They are all pretty much the same as far as detection goes. The deciding factor is the extra features the Security Suites contain. Some include protection for Android and iOS devices.
Food for thought: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2150...antivirus.html
A good complement to traditional antivirus software: https://www.novirusthanks.org/products/osarmor/
That novirus program looks very interesting Anon......I assume you have or are using it as well??Quote:

Malwarebyte:)
Avast is one of the best
Malwarebyte
I use Bitdefender. I like how non-intrusive it is.
a vote for malwarebyte
bitdefender seems to have a lot of deals on for 3x licenses over multiple years and is rated well.
Best one ever is called common sense.
I agree common sense is the best, I just use the built in one within windows, has always worked for me
Eset runs with minimal resource and does the job for me!
Windows 10, now with Common Sense™.Quote:

Kaspersky has a free AV version. Not all the bells and whistles as the paid version but the AV engine is the same
MSE, in my opinion all of them are more or less the same.
Haven't read all the pages but the few I have, haven't mentioned Eset. From my experience, it the lightest but still effective!
i use avast, seems good enough and its free
Kaspersky is a good option
Unless you don't want Put!n finding your pee pictures. ;)Quote:

Nice information
Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security.
Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus.
If you are using genuine Windows 10 version then regular update of OS and free Windows Defender will be enough for you until you do some shitty thing with your laptop... :happy:
I agree with Sayantika...Windows Defender....but I also run Malwarebytes with that...haven't had an issue since...
Norton is what I have been using for years. Good deals for 10 licences on amazon so split out between family members is literally a few pounds/dollars each for several devices covered.
MSE or Avast is what I have been using for years without any issues.
Windows has everything you need, don't install anything.
Defender is a great scanner and won't ruin your system, like third-party scanners do on the regular (or cause other problems, with Windows updates especially).
Plus, considering multiple of them have been caught collecting user data, I wouldn't trust those companies.
havent used a 3rd party A/V service for decades..if you need one then you shouldnt be using a computer.
ESEt NOD32 antivirus ,unlike many other nod 32 actually stops many viruses from getting on your PC rather than 'your PC is infected what do you want to do?'
I gotta agree with just using Windows Defender. It works as well as anything else and it's free. If you must spend some money because of an "if it's free it must be worthless" mentality, I'd go with eset nod32 as several others have mentioned.
Been using Malwarebytes for years - works great for me!
