Hey guys, I recently got my laptop reinstalled, now which antivirus should I put? I care about security the most and I can afford to pay thats not a problem
No though seems similar to Comodo's auto-containment mixed with Hips. Interesting stuff, thanks.Ever tried AppGuard?
Really expensive tho, you might want to check it out when there is a sale. Some weeks ago there was a 50% one.No though seems similar to Comodo's auto-containment mixed with Hips. Interesting stuff, thanks.
Oh don't get me wrong I understand this about BD, and am currently running it on the machine I'm typing on. I was just speculating as to the reason this was stated.Bitdefender is one of those products that can't be properly tested when you turn off modules, the same applies to ESET. They work similarly in this aspect... Before a malware is allowed to run it must go through web filter, cloud behavior analysis, local behavior analysis and heuristics. Both products behavior analysis needs multiple modules active that monitor distinct parts of the system. Turn them off and you weaken your protection.
is Voodoo-Shield slowing down your operations? I mean like when you're installing or uninstalling software?I would suggest Kaspersky or Bitdefender, for my system I have chosen Bitdefender Total Security with unlimited VPN subscription, I have had this setup+Voodoo-Shield & some second opinion scanners for 5 years: never any problems or Virus in all this time.
You right click on the tray icon and then right click on the current protection mode "Smart/Agressive" and select "Disable/Install". It's a minor inconvenience for rock solid protection. Most software you can install by clicking on the tray icon and it turns red. This lower it's security posture for installs but can still need the first method for system level software like drivers and antivirus software.is Voodoo-Shield slowing down your operations?

A little, not much.is Voodoo-Shield slowing down your operations? I mean like when you're installing or uninstalling software?
I remember waiting for up to 5 or more minutes before starting an installation process and the same for uninstalling a software. The thing that bugged me so I ended up uninstalling it and my PC became super fast after that.A little, not much.
Same here. I had used both Kaspersky before and Eset for many years but like F-secure safe more. If you search around too there are some cheaper licensesi ended up buying fsecure safe
I'm not sure but I remember that some years ago I can cancel my subscription directly in my Paypal accountNot possible as far as I know...
Hello,
I appreciate switching to a new antivirus to give it a try, but I always come back to my beloved Kaspersky (actually KTS) that I started using with "Pure" over 10 years ago. I have tried practically all the software on the market, each one has its advantages and disadvantages but it is with Kaspersky that I am most comfortable and that I feel the most secure.
You are right @mlnevese , at my basic computer science level my feeling is 100% subjective and 90% psychological.There is a strong psychological factor in choosing a security product. If it makes you feel safe, then stick to it. We have too many reasons to be anxious and our security software shouldn't be one more
I checked again but my GData subscription isn't listed there.I'm not sure but I remember that some years ago I can cancel my subscription directly in my Paypal account
That is not the case for me: Maybe 10-20 seconds.I remember waiting for up to 5 or more minutes before starting an installation process and the same for uninstalling a software. The thing that bugged me so I ended up uninstalling it and my PC became super fast after that.
