[QUOTE="DarkJoney, post: 1015502, member: 26233"] Hello, guys! I was using Avira ages ago, somewhere between 2007-2011, because Free Edition supported offline database updates (I had no internet at home that period of time). Also, it sometimes was coming with the DVD from the Chip magazine if you remember one. Later, I was using Kaspersky, and after the so-called "russian federation" invaded my Ukraine in 2014 I switched to Bitdefender from 2014 to 2022 with a 1 year pause in 2017 and 2018 because I was given a 180 day keys for F-Secure and Emsisoft 2 times. I had 0 concerns about the quality of Bitdefender security, and 0 accidents, it was working at my home, at dad's GFs, mum's copy shop - it was brilliant. But, a few months ago Bitdefender started to sponsor "Scuderia Ferrari" in F1 which I find inappropriate in background of the war in my home country made by russians where I lost everything and had to start from 0 in Austria. I also got rid of Mahle filters in my car and other stuff that sponsors them. FIY: Scuderia Ferrari bypassed FIA sanction rules and "washed" russian driver robert schwarzman through his secondary Israeli citizenship. He refused to sign FIA condemnation of the war that "russian federation" made. Moreover, the karting team of Charles Leclerc also supports other russian driver. All these things are very important to me, some of you may think that I making a problem from nothing, but you will never understand then. I don't want to fund Ferrari through Bitdefender. I am very sorry because Bitdefender technicians are great guys and I have 0 concerns about their work. I only reported 1 false positive and 1 miss once during all these years. But, their sales team should really think with who do they work. I could also not use Emsisoft and GData due to the Bitdefender engine in them. I would buy Emsisoft if it had Avira or Ikarus inside. I was choosing between Symantec Endpoint, F-Secure, Trend Micro and Avira. But, somehow I got the 1 euro offer from Avira, and decided to give it a try. Things I don't like - as already mentioned - Luke Filewalker is gone... settings are very basic and it looks very automatic this thing is not asking if I want to delete, heal or whitelist something. The rest seems to be ok. Can you tell me, how good is it in comparison with Bitdefender? I still don't really get what is lacking, because it doesn't mention web security, HIPS, exploit prevention, or some other stuff Bitdefender had. Should I stay on it after the 1 year? The most important point for me is ransomware protection because I have a huge archive of personal photo and video that I managed to take with myself being under bombs. I also remember Avira was looking stagnated for the last years and it's UI was awful. Thank you!!! [/QUOTE]
