[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 995749, member: 32260"] Comparing Defender, Kaspersky, and Avast does not make much sense if you did not decide which concrete setup you plan to use. Avast can be tweaked to use Hardened Mode and some other aggressive settings, but this will produce many false positives (similarly to Defender with MAX settings). If you use MS Office, then tweaked Defender is probably the best option. If not, then both Avast and Defender can be tweaked to get similar protection. I did not test Kaspersky free for a long time, so I do not know how strong it can be after tweaks. [/QUOTE]
