[QUOTE="CyberDevil, post: 985937, member: 91290"] 1. Eset + No need to download every time, it updates itself automatically. + Almost no false positives + Well-known engine with good detection + Also looks for potentially unwanted applications + You can set up automatic scanning +/- Eset detects many malicious scripts, although the online scanner probably does not have the machine learning and heuristics to find something new and unknown - Average scanning speed - Interface is too simplistic 2. Emsisoft + Updates without the need for a new re-download(like Eset) + Works perfectly off-line, suitable for scanning from a flash drive + Very fast scanning speed. + Very nice and clear interface + Bitdefender and Emsisoft engines give good results + Very few false positives - I tried to find some minus and couldn't :D 3. Malwarebytes + Machine learning + Detects many bad things that other AV's don't pay attention to (unwanted applications, registry changes, etc.) -/+ Average false positives - Requires installation - Slow and long scanning - No quick scan in the free version 4. HitmanPro + Very fast scanning + Detects and removes spy cookies - Doesn't work at all without internet - Does not remove threats after free period - Does not detect scripts My rating looks something like this. :) I mostly use HitmanPro and Eset from time to time when I go to brush my teeth, once a month or two I check PC with Emsisoft, Malwarebytes I use very rarely. By the way, I also have Glarysoft Malware Hunter. It has terrible detection, as I understand it, but what it finds it explains very thoroughly what it is and why it should be removed. )) [ATTACH type="full" width="253px" alt="изображение_2022-04-26_110242988.png"]266158[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
