Are you married to any antivirus program?

@MWNu72 She is an atheist, I am half christian. There's not much I can do, we are completely different persons. When i told her to lose some weight because I am not attracted to her anymore, she exploded. She is just not the person anymore I used to know. There's too much to say without wiping tears. Thanks for inspirational words, but there are times, when you understand your love-life going down the sh1ter and you just have to let it go and move on in life.. like I do wasting money on Avira and trash it after few days, lol

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.

It's about the same speed as the 2nd gen i3 in my main laptop, and I'm very happy with the performance. I use Panda Global Protection as my antivirus, and barely notice any performance impact. Quite a few antiviruses causes very noticeable slowdowns, but there are several antivirus which are extremely light, and don't slow down my computer.

Why buy them when you can "Borrow" them from a neighbours garden

Originally (Bitdefender) but not any more.
Tried some different ones, and quickly realized there are a lot of good ones.

Lately I have decided on a minimalist approach.

 

[frogboy]

Nah not any more as me and Norton got a divorce late last year. I have been a bit sweet on Emsisoft of late.

I've used many different free and paid antiviruses over the years, and there have been many times when I've used zero realtime security software. I've never been too attached to any one product. I get bored with using the same product all the time and I also like to try different antiviruses.

But, having said that, I've been using Panda products for the last 7 months and have been very happy so far. I may actually stick with it for a while, as these days, I find it really hard to find an antivirus which suits my needs. At the start of the year when I was looking for something to replace Tencent PC Manager, I tried over 60 antiviruses and Panda was my favourite, with Avast being not too far behind, and nothing else really stood out. If not for that, I'd probably keep switching antiviruses regularly.

I am not married to any particular anti-virus but I do have live-in relationship with Kaspersky,emsisoft,comodo,avast and bitdefender and my new found love appSamvid

That sounds like an orgy
Edit: "AppSamvid" is that the one provided by CDAC free of cost. How is it, any good?

 

[brambedkar59]

after a long steady relationship , turning into a stormy marriage for 5-6 years I devorced my highschool sweetheart AVG , nowwadays I am always keeping my eye out for my future (ex ) mrs.Trickster tried lots of other vendors.....but nothing gives me the same feeling like AVG.....currently running avast free....

Avg & Avast are basically twin so.....

I love Eset, but now my Eset license had expired... waiting for a new giveaway for Eset

 

[Glashouse]

I tried different ones in the past but always came back to KIS / KTS as it serves most of my needs

I find it very good

 

[Transhumana]

Nope, I switch them if they become too heavy on my system performance or if they become too buggy.

On the other hand, when it comes to second opinion scanners, Malwarebytes and I are in an almost a decade long relationship. I've been having some doubts lately and started to spice things up with few other scanners (I'm watching at you HitmanPro, you're my new sweetheart ), but I'm not ready to let it go yet. We used to have such a good time together.

I tried Avast, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, Emsisoft, Eset, F-Secure, etc. and found Eset and Kaspersky is great. I love them, but since my Eset license and my Kaspersky trial had expired, I switched to Avast and then found a Bitdefender Giveaway and install it and it running flawlessly even on an old celeron processor. Now, I'm satisfied about Bitdefender, all of them. Except the Bugs(WSC reports that Bitdefender is turned off) even in their 2018 version the bugs is still coming, hope they will fixed it it immediatly

AppCheck has been my religion since I discovered it. I think the way it quickly backs up files when it detects that they are being mass deleted or encrypted and then restores them after deleting the malware is the future. I think that post-breach detection and deletion of malware is really the future since almost all malware can pass by antiviruses these days.

i'm married to my suite until it fails me, then i look for an other wife or better, a harem

Are you married to any antivirus program?

Given that I do Not use any Resident (i.e. Real-Time) Antivirus,
I am separated from Any Antivirus.

 

[Arequire]

Eh, not really. I'm ready to ditch any of my security software the moment it begins annoying me and I can find a suitable alternative.

 

[mlnevese]

I'll never understand fanboism regarding security software or even hardware actually. I'm currently using Kaspersky. If someone pointed me to a dangerous bug that put my security at risk I would check the information and if it was true I would change my security until a patch is issued, when I would return to Kaspersky, as I have an active license and do not like to throw my money in the trash I would never go to a public forum to say Kaspersky is the best, ignoring he issues and saying all the competitors are trash without even testing them...

And when renewal time arrives in December next year. I'll check what is available. I have small kids at home and I am actually considering a more automatic suite. Maybe I'll switch to Bitdefender if it is less buggy than the last time I tested it. I've read good things about autopilot mode...

All fanboys have a common point : Ego , they praised and bragged about the security software so much that admitting it has a flaw will put their credibility on edge and lower their reputation, so they can't let it happen.
