In your opinion, regarding data leak in case of malware execution, which is more effective in quickly interrupting the connection to an IP address? Avast Free or Bitdefender Free?
I ask this question because sometimes I enjoy running some malware to test Avast Free (or Bitdefender when I had it), I know that it should not be done on a PC but on a virtual machine or on a PC where there is no sensitive data.
Anyway, this is the second time that my Paypal login data has probably been stolen, in fact I am receiving the SMS with the code to access. Obviously I will change the password again.
So I would not want Avast Free to be unable to quickly interrupt the connection to a malicious page/IP server.
The same thing happened about 1 year ago when they hacked my LinkedIn and Google account. At that time I was using Avast and enjoying running some malware (I know it shouldn't be done ).
This makes me wonder... maybe Bitdefender's protection is more effective in this regard? Even if you don't have Bitdefender's firewall.
Obviously I won't do these tests on a PC with data anymore, but this makes me think in case of a real attack where I would run a malicious file.
