Hello and welcome to this comparison!
Today we will compare F-Secure, Emsisoft and Kaspersky.
These antiviruses have a different approach.
F-Secure offers a minimalist, ready-to-use interface. On the other hand, Emsisoft is more geek oriented with a very complete security customization and Kaspersky plays in both camps.
But... will it be enough to keep a PC protected?

Results:
F-Secure SAFE: The product is very light and defends itself very well. It let through 1 malicious URL, the malware installed itself but showed no sign of malicious actions.
On the pack, F-Secure misses 24, but does not falter as it blocks all attacks for me! DeepGuard and its Cloud do the job and block my execution attempts, it's even the antivirus that fought the most!
The disinfection tools show an infection in ProgramData but not active, this is a good point.
Emsisoft: Emsisoft is a very complete antivirus and above all it can be customized as you wish.
On URLs, it does the same as F-Secure by letting malware through. But it is smart and cuts off the connection!
On the pack, Emsisoft can trust its famous anti-malware network on the Cloud because it blocks all the malwares!
The disinfection tools just show the malware from the URLs but not active, like F-Secure, this is a good point too.
Kaspersky : In this version, I test the Small Office version, which does not really change compared to a Standard or Plus version.
On the URLs, Kaspersky does a perfect job.
On the pack, Kaspersky catches infections with its System Watcher and offers me an advanced disinfection on the installation of RevengeRat, which he successfully completed.
The machine is clean.
Winner: Even though Emsisoft and F-Secure let an infection through, it was not active so it is not a failure. The system could be cleaned very easily especially since there are no keys at startup.
It's a draw between these 3 antivirus programs.
