Advice Request Heimdal Security + Kaspersky Plus - Good combo?

[Dave Russo]

Hi MalwareTips,
I recently got a fair offer for Heimdal Premium Home,If I were to get it I would run it alongside of Kaspersky Plus. Does anyone know if this would be just a waste? or is there some legitimate reason to add this? Thanks

Waste. Save your money for something that's worth it.

K.Plus alone it's enough

Waste.

Save it for your retirement, or holiday spending money.

Kaspersky Plus is more than enough Heimdal Premium Home won't add to your protection
Don't waste your time or money on Heimdal

Member @Berny is spot on!

Personal I dropped Heimdal around 2 years ago, but I never jumped with their AV solution as it previous been too much talking with empty promises and zero genuine official tests. The HUB actually did one. The result speaks for itself.

The only part I liked and could back then confirm was their software update module. That is still today what they offer free, but I eventually even ditched that because it started to slip behind and pushed out the patches late. Have no idea how that works today, but I'm also not curious enough to test it again as for any fair and correct test/result it needs to be done over a longer period.

No need.
Kaspersky is more than enough.
