Rough year for F-Secure. It will be interesting to see what @Shadowra comes up with in his Enterprise reviews.

App Review - Shadowra's Big Comparative : Episode 2 - Paid Antivirus

It uses a lot more than just honeypots, the CP Harmony one is always newer. Anti-ransomware can be configured in detail in Harmony, you can increase the size of the database and change the backup interval and file formats. The ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware is designed to be ran alongside an...

Maybe F-Secure? Except that quite a few ISP in Europe and in the US, (Spectrum) use a rebranded version of F-Secure as a AV option. So I'm not sure how that would work out for any purchase, buy out.

You mean to say Symantec is better and Bitdefender...

@Captain Awesome

There is no Symantec/Norton free.

Bitdefender has always performed better than Symantec/Norton. There is 20 years of lab tests proving it. Overall, probably 500 different tests across 5 or 6 testing organizations.

 

[Captain Awesome]

There is no Symantec/Norton free.

I never said Symantec is free. I am saying that (avira,avast,avg)all are owned by this company.

Norton-Avast (Gen Digital) is no longer Symantec, the enterprise division (Symantec) is now part of Broadcom, thats why Norton is actually using Avast technology in the new 24 version, they dont want to rely too much on the "old" Symantec engine.

 

[Nightwalker]

Congrats to ESET, along the years it has suffered too much criticism along some security forum enthusiasts that got some weird expectations, but I always considered it to be a top tier solution with a perfect balance in detection, system impact, usability and false positives.

So Long live the king!
