Battle:

Avast Free Antivirus vs Windows Defender and Windows Firewall.
I almost never use Avast as an On Demand Scanner anyway just protection. What do you guys think?

You are Avast user for 7+ years, what happened now?

WD is getting better but remember for PUP detection you have to edit registry & still IMO PUP detection would not be that good, file copying, extracting, etc... seems slow with WD, no proactive protection, etc...
The computer that is using avast is a vista from 2003. The computer I am using Windows 10 2016 is running Avast Free as an ODS and Windows Defender for protection.
