Antivirus provider Poll 2022

I used to use Kaspersky, but after the war i switched to Bitdefender !!!

 

[Harputlu]

Malwarebytes

 

[ScandinavianFish]

Malwarebytes

I wouldnt call it an antivirus, it isnt good enough to really be one.

 

[ErzCrz]

Comodo or Microsoft Defender depending on my config though Comodo is for containment rather than AV detection.

 

[Chuck57]

Wisevector, with Comodo Firewall

 

[Shadowra]

Microsoft Defender.

I have been a user of Eset, Kaspersky, Norton and F-Secure.
They are also good antivirus programs, but I only need a protection for my needs, which is simple and above all does not bother me (Norton and its false positives).

For the moment, I haven't found an alternative to Microsoft Defender (even if Kaspersky tempted me)

 

[Petrovic]

Microtrend

 

[Trooper]

F-Secure Safe at home.

ESET at work.

I don't look too much at test sites, I prefer to test myself

 

[Antimalware18]

I usually switch fairly often as i have small pet peeves

but recently I've been mainly using either Wisevector or Bitdefender Free. Currently I'm using and honestly enjoying Bitdefender Free

It certainly isn't a great result, but keep in mind the test was performed using default settings. Most forum members—myself included—using Microsoft Defender modify its internal settings to enhance its effectiveness. So the test is likely not representative of what would've occurred if different settings were applied.

This is probably based on very outdated information.

Might be a good idea if MWT made this poll yearly like the AV-Comparatives survey (I really wish other labs doing the same).

This is probably based on very outdated information.

At least a whole year outdated I think
AV-Test: Almost consistent "TOP PRODUCTS" (not really getting perfect scores like the others) since 2021 while only 'approved' cert prior to that year.
AV-Comparatives: "Only" scored Standard to Advanced in 2021, simply "good enough".
SE Labs: Only getting "C" in Q3 2020, a decent "B" in Q4 2020, and a good "AA" (still at the lowest rank) in Q1 2021.

 

[Digmor Crusher]

Microsoft Defender ( why isn't it included in the poll?)
