it is the end of a "era" now we are left with 4/5 av engines, the rest, are just rebrands, with more or less bloatware :O
I agree, from a marketing point its brilliant move on their part.Well I agree with Nightwalker but marketingwise it could be brilliant. Money for nothing offered safely by a security company. Interesting to see how this pans out.
Especially games that are sensitive to single-core performance but pretty sure performance gain won't really visible except by looking at three digit fps benchmark.By isolating non-essential apps to a single CPU core, it allows the rest of the CPUs to be allocated to your game for better performance.
We are the borg. We will assimilate you.
I recently tried Avira Free given results in ShadowRa's tests, and I found it very light in terms of feel and benchmark. I also read that the company protects user's privacy.
However, I noticed that only real-time protection is provided for free. Is that good enough for anti-ransomware, and the addon (I use Firefox) for web protection?
Next, does it show popup ads, and if so can they be disabled?
Third, what news have you heard about Nortonization? Will users' privacy stil be protected, and do you think the free version will still be continued?
Actually, Free version is enough. Paid version does have the so-called "ransomware protection" and Web protection. However, I personally don't think Avira's ransomware protection technology works, and Avira heavily relies on APC to detect and block new threats (including ransomware), according to my testing. APC is available in the Free version. If APC fails to detect malware, your PC is very very very likely to be infected. Avira basically does not have off-line behavior blocker.However, I noticed that only real-time protection is provided for free. Is that good enough for anti-ransomware, and the addon (I use Firefox) for web protection?
For Free version, no. But you will see in-product ads that cannot be disabled.does it show popup ads, and if so can they be disabled?
Nortonization here means the addition of Cryptomining feature, and it's nothing to do with the privacy protection.what news have you heard about Nortonization? Will users' privacy stil be protected, and do you think the free version will still be continued?
