Comparison Emsisoft vs. Eset Internet Security vs. BitDefender Total Security vs. F-Secure Safe (2020)
Tot
Total suites usually only include extra devices, password managers, data encryption etc and nothing new to protection, I have seen ZERO products who's total suites has something new to detection of malware.
Eset seems to be the best when it comes to system resources usage. If your goal is to look for a lightweight AV, I would recommend Eset.
As for "full protection", I think you should define better what you mean by it. Because you're comparing an antivirus (Emsisoft), Internet Security suites (Eset and F-Secure) and a full suite (Bitdefender). If you're talking about anti-malware components (signatures, cloud, behaviour blocker, ransomware protection), all of them provide decent protection. But the suites may add extras such as banking protection, parental control, password managers, system optimizers etc. So it doesn't look like we have a fair comparison here.
When considering anti-malware components + system impact only, my favourites are:
Eset > F-Secure > Emsisoft > Bitdefender.
Personally I would go with F-Secure. It is very light and no settings to tweak. Give it a try and you will like it. I no longer use it and I still have at least 200 days in my subscription. If you need it PM me and I will give it to you.
Just to help get some facts correct here in this thread.
SAFE ain't a suite. TOTAL is, but one can actually choose to install or not any of it's 3 modules ( SAFE AV, Freedome VPN and Key password manager ). That, I'm not so sure about with Bitdefender TS and ESET IS. TOTAL also got one extra module, but that is for their router SENSE.

Well I do not see any difference in terms of protection between F-Secure Safe and Total. Total offers VPN and Key Password manager. The price of Total is insane. One should go for the Safe version and use their favourite VPN and Password manager along it.
It's a Huge difference. Let me try explain.
SAFE is an AV and when combined with the VPN and also the Key password manager you just implemented 3 very strong layers at once, compared if one only install SAFE. Now SAFE itself comes with well enough features, but personal I also use the VPN.
The price is very expensive, I agree but I highly recommend check with possible local re-sellers. I seen discounts on 50%.
Point of view.
What are the differences between the various F-Secure<br> security products for consumers?

I see! Regarding the price, even with a %50 discount it is still expensive compared to other vendors.
Correct, but personal I don't mind pay for good products and just recently went with the TOTAL package. I also pay to be better sure about the support.

because you are looking at wrong place...a proper suite offers a Firewall, sometimes anti-exploits. Those Emsisoft don't have.

Emsisoft is the only one, so why should it matter?
