Hey, any reason for Firefox instead of Waterfox?

Never really considered the Firefox forks. Firefox does everything I need from it.

I removed ESET from the laptop because it provided lag spikes in games. No greater sin exists!
Considering Webroot or Kaspersky. A little hesitant regarding Kaspersky, last time I tried it (2012 version) it took 500MB of memory.

The 2013 Kis takes around 100mb but feels light on the system.

You can always give Trend Micro ago there. You might like it you might not. You won't know though till you try. :p

Nice & Simple Config. I think you should add MalwareBytes or Mamutu in RealTime Protection.

CIS or Trend Micro should be added to your real-time protection. :p

What is the signal-to-noise ratio of CIS pop-ups these days?
Last time i tried it, last year i think, it was still producing warnings for legitimate applications.

Avast chose to flag my collection of c++ sorting algorithms as malware. I choose to take that as an insult so sadly it had to go.

Looking for new av.

edit: It was a trial so no big loss :)

Was it the heuristics or their Evo/DynoGen (or whatever it's called) that detected your safe, harmless files?

So far, Windows Defender hasn't given you any FPs?

It was flagged as Win32:Evo-gen[Susp].
I would love to know which part of the code it didn't like :D

Windows Defender is quiet when i compile on the other computer.
