[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 995759, member: 32260"] When using SWH, you have covered most of the fileless attacks that can impact home users. [B]Protection: hardened Defender or hardened Avast > default Kaspersky[/B] Kaspersky on default settings will produce fewer false positives, but you have to be cautious with EXE and MSI files, especially those from USB drives or embedded into archives and disk images. I assume that you do not use MS Office and Adobe Reader. The setup of Kaspersky is simpler so you will probably feel it lighter, but this can depend on the particular computer, its hardware, installed software, and preferred activities. Edit. When SWH is used, the most important ASR rule against 0-day malware is "Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criteria". [/QUOTE]
