[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 734934, member: 37647"] Unless you are running Avast in Hardened mode, you are not getting anything so special from Avast, anyway. You are on Windows 10, so you can use Windows Defender. In recent AV testing, it is comparable or better than the paid AVs -- especially if you enable PUA protection. (I am not talking here about zero-day testing, where Kaspersky usually comes out strongest) If you want a really strong AV suite, and you know how to tweak it right, then Kaspersky IS is a winner. But Windows Defender can do an excellent job, too. Especially if you use the free companion tool, ConfigureDefender.
