Kaspersky. No question in my mind. Overall, in my book, Kaspersky is the best out there.Ok. Right now, I think the options are narrowed down to Kaspersky or CheckPoint Harmony. Deep Instinct is maybe, I just trust the Kaspersky engine the most.
Which do you all recommend between the two.
Agree there. Both security products use Kaspersky’s Engine, that’s why it’s between the two.Kaspersky. No question in my mind. Overall, in my book, Kaspersky is the best out there.
Harmony is better obviously but there are so many free products available and stuff that doesn't increase attack surface as an av scanning every io and unpacking stuff while running privilegedOk.

My main "threat" is going to be installers, exes, or malicious java modifications for minecraft. I've seen Kaspersky have the best detection with the modifications with minecraft.Harmony is better obviously but there are so many free products available and stuff that doesn't increase attack surface as an av scanning every io and unpacking stuff while running privileged
As with software restrictions like hard configurator you don't increase attack surface trying to detect malware
So depends who is the threat you are trying to defend against if state actor don't run sandboxes avs etc
rather simpler blockades that don't increase attack surface using windows policys
Better use a specific computer for Minecraft, gaming that's more relaxed (don't log in to sensitive stuff there ) and use Kaspersky free on it and a hardened PC for workMy main "threat" is going to be installers, exes, or malicious java modifications for minecraft. I've seen Kaspersky have the best detection with the modifications with minecraft.
I trust Kaspersky to protect me more than ESET and Kaspersky is already light enough for me.Otherwise, why don't you try ESET?
So I guess you made your choice. Sounds great. No need to mention more options than necessaryI trust Kaspersky to protect me more than ESET and Kaspersky is already light enough for me.
It’s between CheckPoint and Kaspersky since both use Kaspersky’s engineSo I guess you made your choice. Sounds great. No need to mention more options than necessary
So that's your blind spot huh?or anyone who should experience targeted attacks or sophisticated APTs that anti-viruses/security companies dont know about.
Your chosen defenses are to guard against malware only, so you are blind to hacking attacks - your chosen defenses won't detect those.What do you mean?
Think OP was trying to say he's just a home user and not a lucrative target worth a hacker taken a chance on. Which is quite literally correct in most cases.Your chosen defenses are to guard against malware only, so you are blind to hacking attacks - your chosen defenses won't detect those.
Getting hacked only when you are a 'target' is a urban myth. Its when people pat each other on the back and say 'it will never happen to us'.
I dont think I need to purchase a anti-malware product, and then a anti-hacking product. Im just some random guy who isnt going to have some super experienced hacker try to gain the non-existant personal information thats on my pc.Your chosen defenses are to guard against malware only, so you are blind to hacking attacks - your chosen defenses won't detect those.
