I'd recommend Bitdefender. It offers robust security features, excellent privacy protection, and minimal data collection. It consistently ranks high in independent lab tests for its security and performance. Plus, it comes with a VPN for added privacy.
Why did you choose those 4? Personally I wouldn't use any of them, there are better choices.
Same thing I was thinking, as there wasn't an option to add our prefrence.
feel free to suggest me your personal choice
i'll will be thankful

From those 4 probably G-Data (German, has to comply with German and EU privacy laws).
The "best" for security are Bitdefender, Kaspersky and Microsoft (helped by DefenderUI or ConfigureDefender).

I wouldn't choose any of them. I always recommend either Kaspersky, ESET, F-Secure or Bitdefender. Just keep in mind, Bitdefender is heavier than the other options I've mentioned.

loooove Vipre, phishing protection via Outlook has been great from all the workstations I've seen. I think they are still using BitDefender engine for detections very happy for the last few years. Strong firewall protection also. In a vacuum I' d probably go with traffic light.
From these 4 Vipre is the best. It is almost a full rebrand of Bitdefender which makes one wonder, why not Bitdefender. It’s got exploit shield and firewall that are developed by Vipre.
Antivirus by PIA not even sure what’s that.

Private Internet Access? The VPN company maybe?
Yeah, since when have they got an AV and what is it based on? Never heard of it. Another Avira probably
Kaspersky or Checkpoint because of their compliance levels in privacy.
i search around about it its based on intego security (avira engine)Yeah, since when have they got an AV and what is it based on? Never heard of it. Another Avira probably
If you don't want to choose what I've highlighted, you can go to GData.
It has 2 engines and its unknown malware blocker is very good (BEAST) and has an anti-ransomware shield called DeepRay.
It's just a bit memory-hungry :/
VIPRE, I haven't seen it for about 1 year. I had fond memories of it.
I really like Trend Micro. Much less its viral base which is rather weak...
Its Behavior Blocker is good, but not on script-type malware.
The PIA antivirus, on the other hand, I have no opinion because I don't know it at all.
And if I have to give a personal opinion, I'd say F-Secure
It's very good and has an excellent privacy policy.
g-data is ok with me too also good privacy policy too after that vipre but its not have any clear info on privacy policy sectionIf you don't want to choose what I've highlighted, you can go to GData.

I will second F-Secure. Relatively fast, reliable, and really good security and privacy to boot. (Well, whatever accounts for privacy nowadays, right?)
And with F-Secure migrating to 64-bit (19.4), it's very light on system resources.
