I never rely too much on these awards but I will say that having Kaspersky,Emsisoft & Eset at the top is a bit nice for a change.These are pretty much the only 3 Security software I have used for long periods of time in the last 10 years or so.
KIS - I have used from way back when through version 2013. Always great protection and never had a problem running on my System aside from a slightly longer boot time.Something I could sacrifice for the protection it provides.I like that 2014 runs lighter than previous versions as confirmed by Jack.
Emsisoft - I use Emsisoft Internet Security Pack on all my Windows 7 installations.What can I say,awesome protection and some of the best support and service out of anything,Security Software and Non Security products alike.
Eset - I have been using it since Version 2.I run ESS 7 on all my Windows 8 installations.Excellent protection,very light,very few bugs and one of the few Security Suites that have ran on Windows 8 without problems since it's release.
These awards are what they are though,some like different products for different reasons and on different systems.It is nice to see these 3 at the top though
