Are you married to any antivirus program?

[WinXPert]

Married? Nope

But I still use 360 for testing. Call it "one night stand". Install - Update - Test - Uninstall.

 

[jadinolf]

Good for you.

I've also got this illness. I don't know how to stop, even urge to get in touch with my wife isn't so strong anymore, I'd rather buy 1yr license for Avira Pro on discount, than flowers for her. The funny thing is I don't even use Avira Pro, just for hell of it to prove myself that it's different from the Free version, but apparently its not, just included web protection.. licenses for security softs expiring, wife unhappy. I know that @NikolayfromRussia is also a collector, but hes doing it for hes forum to share licenses afterwards, he got that purpose, but I don't. It's sad that I can't change my wife to a different one like I can security products in VMware snapshots. Just sticking with the Windows Defender on my host at the end of the day, when VMware playground is shutdown.

Uh-Oh... you better run !

Unsatisfied wife has her eye on you.

Learning about Windows and security softs is always a good thing, but at some point I think a person has to make a choice and stick with it - at least for a good amount of time.

Was a die hard ESET guy for many years, until Windows 10. Started to have some issues and they have been slow to fix bugs lately. So, been switching between KIS and Norton (with short stints of WD). I used to collect just about everyone out there and do testing with each. No time for that anymore. I recently went back to Norton after having some issues with KIS. However, if Norton starts to crap out on me not sure what I will do. Maybe just stick with Windows Defender. We shall see how good it gets after the Fall Creators Update.

Flowers are overrated

So is Avira

Ahahahaha. #REKT

Nope. Not at all. I will use whatever does not kill my system performance and offers decent protection at the same time. Around 2012/2013 Kaspersky slowed my system down to a crawl so I decided it was time to change. That's when I went to EMSIsoft for a time but when Windows 10 came out they had serious trouble with their firewall. Got a 90 day trial of Bitdefender but it bugged in my system in such a way I had to go into safe mode to be able to remove it. Around two years ago I read that Kaspersky had solved their performance issues so I downloaded a trial and a few days later bought a license.

I wouldn't say married but I have been using Trend Micro for close to 9 years now. Has to be my favourite.

 

[outlawxtorn]

I like Eset and Voodoo Shield.

Good stuff. I was similar with ESET used it for probably 14 years straight! TM always felt sluggish to me so I never would use it for long periods of time.

 

[Trooper]

Same here, I totally agree with You Trooper,
just not 14 years, but kudos to You for 14 years!
I used to love NOD32 v1 and v2 and felt like it went slowly dowhill for them after this.
Now it just bothers me with their Robo-AI-Mania, it just feels for me like they have lost their soul... :/
It's sad for me, but I actually still believe that Eset makes solid security solutions, no doubt!

Totally agree man! Like I have mentioned here I have been switching between KIS and NS. Currently just using NS. However if WD keeps getting better and especially after the Fall Creators Update, I just may stick with that!

 

[Trooper]

Seems like I am slowly and steadily getting married to FeatherSoft,
it just elevates me and makes me truly feel worthy.
It reminds me in a modern way of the good old days of NOD32 and makes
me feel secure.
I love FeatherSofts HIPS! <3

Never heard of it. Tis good?

 

[Trooper]

FeatherSoft = Emsisoft.

Ahh flew right over my head! Time for bed! Lol.

 

[brambedkar59]

Married, never. Dating yup. But now I am on detox. No AV for me currently (only Cruel Comodo), as the laptop is a bit underpowered and AVs are a bit notorious for being sucking all the power for themselves.

B.loat.W.are?

Nope, no bloatware. It's a win 10 pro clean installation with only essential programs installed and I usually don't install any new programs. So, No realtime AV for me as everything unknown will be run inside Comodo containment with restricted access. On demand scanners sure.
Edit: I said underpowered because it uses a low powered A6-6310 APU (just like all those Ultra low powered Intel CPUs, "U"-suffixed), which is great for battery backup but not so much for raw power.

 

[jadinolf]

So is Avira

Never tried it.
