App Review F-Secure Internet Security v25.2

So freaking sad another engine gone. Yes let's make everything Gen Digital so now even script kiddies can just optimize their packer against a single engine unless you are in China, India or Russia.

China has a crappy home grown AV engine

Russia has an amazing AV too bad it's KGBd (what they did to the western users by replacing engine without even a peep from the OS gives me enough data to know who they really are and what they are capable of)

India has another crappy AV engine.

So what we have left is Eset, McAfee, Microsoft, and checkpoint/ZA for the consumer market.

And maybe include the Romanian AV and their scanning engine in the what's left list

Oops forgot it. Had it before I edited my post by removing some choice language before posting and forgot to re add bit defender. I am using bitdefender gravity for one of my low end lappys and like it's lightness.

Oh wait I think trend micro has its own right?. That's the Japanese engine. Its all cloud based I think. That's another great one. I like trend micro, it used to be very heavy but recently I've read that it's quite nice. I expect my PC to turn into a Guntham and attack Kaiju whenever I test Trend Micro.

Then we have webroot but friends don't let friends run Webroot.

@cartaphilus I can't agreed with your comment on india's own av engines.India has decent AV engines like K7,Quickheal but they are slowly catching up with industries leaders like ESET, Kaspersky or others. Indian AVs engines are far better than Chinese Avs engines.

Edit: added bitdefender

Trend Micro, for me the absolute one with no interest in any other AV, Asian people are smart, Trend will never be Gen Digi !

How dare he mock our pain! Captain! Let's eScan where he is, fasten him to a rusty K7 plane, and have him flown for Quick Heal therapy as a lesson!

av engines like K7 and quickheal is equally good at work. I just can't agree with his comment that all indian engines are crappy. Not all but few..

 

[Dreams&Visions]

K7 and quickheal is equally good at work

I challenge that conclusion
QuickHeal used to have a good BB (it still has for sure), however, it has been overtaken by K7, which also benefits from way better (and hourly updating) signatures, and a ever improving BB.
However, our friend @Shadowra could prove me wrong

I get a kick how this thread has become everything else beside F-Secure. It's like "okay, they're over and done with, let's talk about something else."

 

[Zartarra]

Sophos also have their own engine.

Too bad security software is not as reliable as a sentient rubber superball. Anyone remember the ones that were clear with glitter in them? Could bounce those things to the stratosphere.

These balls below know what they're doing. Thinking balls. Quantum AI ain't cracking these balls. The security software & services industry would do well to emulate them.
