Removed McAfee Total Protection...terrible GUI and settings.

added: Webroot AV for Gamers + Voodooshield free (Smart Mode)

I've got a very cheap license for 4years...so thats will be my new superlight combo,
but i have a focus on the WR Data folder 😉

Removed: Webroot AV for Gamers

from one day to the next, the disappointment started. I dont know what happened in background, but the system began to jerk
and the windows defender was active parallely with webroot. A reboot doesnt work to fix this problem. :mad::poop:(n)

added for testing: Qihoo 360 TS ( with avira engine enabled + ads blocked with firewall)

Removed: Eset Nod32
Tested: - McAfee Total Protection. light, but no big options for tweaking. Scan exclusion is a pain...just files possible.
- Trend Micro AV+. little bit heavy...boring...no improvements
- Win Defender with High settings via ControlDefender. very light and fast boot and app start...could be my new love :love:


Installed: F-Secure Safe Promo for 3 months.. light and fast scans (y)

You can try McAfee Endpoint Security, has more options for tweaking.

Pretty much the same setup i'm using. Tho i'm using 3rd party firewall thats not based on WFP. Its securrity measure for not using WFP based firewall as a firewall.

You shouldn't claiming a personal opinion as true facts, of course some people believe the same as you about Windows-Firewall(WFP), but that isn't a fact as a lot of major vendors antivirus-suites still using WFP included together with the own tech of Firewall, so we can say using or not it's just personal preference and for sure it has nothing to do with it's less secure to use products which offering only a Firewall based on WFP!
