[robin hood]

I can not decide G-data or Avast?I have a license G-dataIS 2014 and AvastIS 2014,I can not decide to put on my computer.Ask you for your opinion..(sorry for bad english)

I'd go with avast.

 

[potinglin]

I will choose G data

You may choose G-DATA if you want to have a fast, well-protected PC.

i pick G-DATA because it haves a better zero protection then avast and besides avast sandbox haves too many leaks anyway

@nsm0220 I have an Avast license, so before I may decide to use it, what kind of Sandbox leaks? Thanks.

If you can give me the Avast license, it would be a great deal. I ran out of my Avast IS 2014 license.

Not sure where you found that site, but it's not reliable. I would avoid using "findthebest" site.

do you remember when malware doctor tested avast 9 and at the end of that it was shown that the sandbox was bypassed and the malware got into system 32 it was hitman pro who found malware that got into system 32

Lol you might as well call Avast and ask them if they are better then G-Data and all the other security brands together.
Guess what they are going to say?
Same goes for G-Data call them and obviously they will tell you G-data beats all.
My point here is that webpage you are showing is a known BS webpage.
As long you got money to spend they will advise you whatever brings them the most commission.

Long story short, I have a huge respect for Avast as they are pretty good, but in my humble and proffesional opinion G-data does have a edge.

Anyway i cannot believe that we have another A VS B topic.
When are people going to understand that it really does not matter if you buy trentmicro, norton or freaking bitdefender, these brands are all good and all have their own PLUS and DOWN sides but below the line they offer pretty much the same protection as they all count on the fact that you use common sense and a updated and well configurated PC.
90% of all the people who bitch about a certain AV as not providing as much protection as the user would have liked are mostly the users that tweak their windows and mix programs without actually having the insight knowledge to realize what their tweaks and modifications do and what impact it has on the system other then a small speed boost...
One does not need to like windows, but a standard windows patched up and protected by a internet security suit is as hardened as it gets.
All other programs are just extra but do not provide extra protection.
Hence why i always say less is more.

What's your opinion on EMET, for home use?

What's your opinion on EMET, for home use?

Truthfully? EMET is great in what its doing, no perfect but it does do its job.
And i could recommend it, however its funny that Windows needs EMET in the first place considering it only enhances native windows functions.
But its good.
