[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 984721, member: 78686"] You can use Avast with Behaviour Shield and the Ransomware shield only, but that won't be recommended with another product installed. Bitdefender is great, but its profiles are problematic. Gaming mode for example doesn't work for me unless I manually add game's exe into it. Also, it enables work profile with a notification every time I launch MS Office, Notepad++ and Thunderbird Email. There's no way to turn off this notification. In work profile, Bitdefender won't update definition and if I remember correctly you can't change this behavior. If behavior blocking is your main concern for ESET then you may pair it with the free Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool which is the system watcher component of Kaspersky and will catch all threats. This is a much better option than custom Avast BB+Ransomware shield+another AV. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.kaspersky.com/anti-ransomware-tool[/URL] You can ask [USER=91446]@Anthony Qian[/USER] about this combo. [/QUOTE]
