App Review Kaspersky Premium vs McAfee Advanced

[HydraDragonAntivirus]

There's Zemana, but I have no idea if it's still being maintained :/

Zeamana's MalwareFox discounted and MalwareFox switch to TotalAV. Also Zemana is outdated and even work on Windows XP with one core api.

Edit: I

I hope it has better quality

The host's AV can block an infected website being accessed inside the Windows Sandbox because this last shares the host's network stack and kernel-level network interception points.

Thanks for the information.

good old zemana we had such good projects abandon that could have had a future....

 

[Sorrento]

I as many on here used Zemana, which if I remember correctly came in two flavors but eventually became borderline useless, at least that's how I see it?

 

[Zero Knowledge]

Ahhh Zemana, what useless junk that program was, but we all had a copy running? Makes you wonder about us security folk and our rush to install un-trusted programs.

Now in my case, if McAfee could get their glitchy UI figured out, again, in my case, I'll consider it again. BUT, what was not a part of the test and rightly so, is that with my McAfee license, I still have access to the portal to view and use the Identity Monitoring.

Also, that McAfee did such a good job with limited amount of modules and settings, On/Off (I know they're tested in their defaults) compared to Kaspersky.

Just in case this helps anyone who views this excellent work done by @Shadowra. I was able to figure out a glitch that I previously had. Even though McAfee Identity Monitoring was showing as active and set up in that app module and the web portal, it wasn't showing it as set up on the main UI. I thought to enter a user name in the Account information besides my email address, entered it in, restarted the app and it is now showing as On in the main app UI, both areas It will be nice to get dark mode back on my end, but that isn't a deal breaker, as how often do I really need to open it?

Again, for anyone this may help, if I set Brave as my default browser, there will be a blue "i" on the system tray icon. I set my default to Chrome in the Widows default app settings and that resolves it. Brave doesn't ask every time to set it as the default, so that seems to work. The default browsers for McAfee are Chrome, FF and Edge. And since Brave is Chromium based, McAfee does scan those webpages, it just won't show the link ratings in a Brave search, but will for a Google search in Brave.

@Shadowra Hello! Sorry for going off topic again, but what do you think about Trend Micro? Is it a good antivirus program? Would you recommend it?

This review by @Shadowra should help to answer your question

 

[anirbandutta01]

Hello @Shadowra thanks for the test. I'll definitely try McAfee.

 

[anirbandutta01]

I use KeyScrambler Personal + KES in Default Deny.

Edited: also ScreenWings.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion @harlan4096

Thanks for your question @zkSnark

I am on Eset Smart security premium and these tests are enticing enough for me to buy Mcafee license

Same here. I am on ESET NOD32 Antivirus but will definitely buy McAfee.

Nobody wanted to pay for it. If people don't pay, then eventually the project or software ends up in the trash bin. This is a recurring theme over the years.

Way too many freeloaders that just don't want to pay for software. The end results are predictable.
