Norton:
1) Often fails to completely remove a malware. It leaves 0 KB file of the malware in the directory.
2) Less important problem: Signature & Heuristics somehow collide sometimes. Often while detecting two files of same malware, one will be detected by signature while other by heuristic. If a malware is repairable without deleting the whole file, the one that is detected by signature is repaired but the one detected by heuristic will be deleted. Very few malware is repairable nowadays so it's not a huge deal.

I have never tried F-Secure, but I can say Forticlient is quite good.
But now I don't know how they will go on with the free version, you can try it and check if it matches your needs

Kaspersky cannot use HW virtualization when Windows sandbox is running..applies only to Pro versions of windows!

I think this is probably not a Kaspersky fault, I guess it's because only 1 hypervisor can be used in the system

Agree, it's not as if there is just the safe web, there is the password thing and Norton search, it seems recently the option to say No (or even go & ....off) no has been taken away in most things its either yes or remind me later. I found install it then disable, not a ideal solution though.

At first I was just going to leave the topic as it is in the BD 2019 section, but something came up. After encountering an infected webpage earlier today and going to the notification center to investigate further, I found out that the ability to exclude a webpage through the notification center without requiring a password has returned. This had been fixed in 2019 version but made a comeback in 2020 version.

That setting is inside Web Anti-Virus Module (Advanced Settings -> Configure Trusted URLs), since You are in KSCloud Free, You should have access to it...

which is extension of the file? Avast by default only scans certain extensions in realtime protection, if there is no extension or the extension is not in the list, it will be ignored
On-demand scanner supports all extensions + heuristic level is set to High by default
you can enable avast to support all extension on realtime protection

Thanks!!
It's a .js extention.
Okay so I will change the settings you recommend.
Overall avast seems to be very good..What are your thoughts?
I think avast is very good only with proper combination. In my test, I only combine hardened mode aggressive + syshardener exclusively, they will stop almost all malwares in the hub except for some malwares which has the extensions of .com, .bat, .cmd, .ps1Thanks!!

Signatures, cloud and BB are supportive. HM and SH are the main players
for this reason, I disable as many avast's components as possible to make it lighter
.bat, cmd: because we can't disable command prompt. It's crucial to windows => Chineserarypt-like malwares can infect my combo, in theory. However, you can dissociate them and only run cmd script by manual typing
.ps1: we can disable it because not many people use powershell
.com: you can dissociate it so it can't be executed
It's always a problem, I use Revo Uninstaller to scrub system, seems to do good job even removing register keys.
