[QUOTE="Malleable, post: 1013661, member: 90907"] Cliffs for those uninterested in my life story: Me too. I always liked Bitdefender Free due to it's effectiveness and [I]set it and forget it[/I] functionality. Starting around 20 years ago I put it on my, friends, and associate's personal computers. Around 10 years ago after reading our Government was unable (obstensibly) to circumvent Comodo Free's firewall I added Comodo Security Suite as an option with default settings (loved it's firewall and HIPS) on mine and then certain friends computers based on the backlash I received regarding levels of user interaction. Some of that backlash was sharp and if any of you happen to be reading this you're all welcome. About 3 years ago the owner of my company with Comodo Security Suite Free and work related classified data on his work/home laptop clicked on a link in an email he felt was bogus (remember, the [I]owner[/I]) and 2 months later complained to me how slow his computer had gotten. Except for that one zero day(?) that slipped past the goalie to my knowledge there were no other problems throughout the years (zero with Bitdefender). I switched us back to Bitdefender w/CFW. No longer in that work environment I grew tired of Bitdefender's all around performance hits but especially with file transfers to an external USB ssd reduced to ~84 MBps from 320 MBps . Then the clouds parted, the sun shone down, and I found Windows Defender hardened (ty Andy Ful), cruelsister's Comodo firewall configuration (ty cruelsister), and AppCheck. Coupled with a healthy dose of paranoia, I finally find myself at peace with the world. [/QUOTE]
