When you look at the 2 posts about AV Labs, here is what I would consider to be an easy condensation:
In addition, regardless of the solution chosen, we recommend to:
· Perform full scan of all disks immediately after installation. Owing to this, security state of a computer will be verified at the very beginning and an antivirus itself will work more efficiently.
· Install the uBlock Origin extension in a browser which blocks ads or JavaScript code that uses processor cycles to mine cryptocurrency.
· Install the NoCoin tool that is intended specially for protection against cryptojacking threats.
· If a product doesn’t have a firewall, it’s worth using, for example, the GlassWire firewall.
· It’s worth using VPN tunnels. A good VPN should always be active when performing payment operations on the Internet.
· Install additional protection in a browser. We particularly recommend the Avira Browser Safety and Bitdefender Trafficlight solutions which don’t cause problem in the form of false alarms. They don’t slow down websites. They guarantee very high effectiveness against malicious content, domains initiating drive-by download attacks, and cryptocurrency miners (even on seemingly “secure” websites marked with a green padlock).
· Spyshelter FW and Norton Passed all tests, even at default settings.
· Panda, Kaspersky, Comodo, and Zonealarm all passed with custom settings.
Everyone else failed.
