[QUOTE="Wrecker4923, post: 1121034, member: 110877"] If you are thinking about referring AV solutions to OTHER people, providing references/reasons, AV-comparatives seems specific about products. If I am not looking at THIS forum, I'd have crossed the consumer lists' "Real-World Protection Test" with "Advanced Threat Protection" (presumably more reflexive of behavioral detection), and gotten the results: "Bitdefender, ESET, Kaspersky" and then "Avast, AVG". I think these choices generally reflect the discussions on this forum as well. Then, practicality and other considerations would kick in. [LIST] [*]ESET: expensive [*]Kaspersky: banned by governments. Dr.Web is also Russian, but isn't banned; what's going on here? But the free version probably would cover you. [*]Avast, AVG: are they going to sell my data? But the free version probably would cover you. [*]Bitdefender: (find out later): why so much disk activity on update, are the updates going to ruin my SSD? The free version not as good as the paid versions for antimalware/antivirus? Taking up memory may vary from one person to another. [/LIST] If your machine is powerful and cash isn't a problem, then ESET and Bitdefender seem pretty good choices. [/QUOTE]
