Battle KIS 2018 vs Emsisoft Internet Security 2017.4

[drakester]

Hi all,

I'm currently looking for a very good Internet Suite solution.

I've been reading through several topics and most of the opinions mention these two as excellent overall performers.

I want a good suite that has both av and firewall, excellent protection overall, minimal system impact, reliable (not unstable) and doesn't get in my way since I'll be installing this on three separate Windows 10 PCs: a workstation, gaming desktop and laptop.

It's between EIS and KIS latest and greatest but any other suggestion that fills the requirements are welcome.

Thanks a lot!

I think other AVs are better, but between those two, Kaspersky, for sure

You can't go wrong with any of those. It's like choosing between Pepsi or Coca-Cola. Similar products, same result (prominent death). It depends on what each one likes. Personally, i am using a high-end laptop (16GB RAM, i7 7700HQ) and both behaved very well on my system. The only difference: when i tweaked Emsisoft for maximum security, performance remained. When i tweaked Kaspersky for maximum protection, performance was seriously affected, even with my specifications on hardware. If you're going default i'd say go Kaspersky. Else go Emsisoft.

As booth of them are performing well, you could also take a look at the way of licensing and pricing....

Emsisoft in general seems to be more expensive. For me, having lot's of devices in my family the new Kaspersky Security Cloud offering for 20 devices might also be a good alternative.

So if you can't decide by feature, decide by price as you can't go wrong...

I voted in the Emsisoft because I think that the software in the current times has come a lot with pup which is not strong of Kaspersky, although it has better set.

Kaspersky all the way.

Version 2018 of KIS/KTS I find, is much more refined than the 2017 version. Give it a try.

Kaspersky probably has the best GUI I've ever used. I do like to use their encryption software, password manager (Sticky passoword), and backup (for local backups) in KIS/KTS. Those 3 things work great. Emsisoft doesn't have any of that (which is OK). I would choose Kaspersky. Eugene seems like a cool guy I'd drink a beer with ;P

Both lacks of arp protection feature. However, KIS has a feature to notify of MAC address changes

If you want privacy then go for Emsisoft
