Either

Nope, didn't notice any weird behaviour so far. Running as smooth as before

How do you like it so far?

It's fine. I don't like it as much as DuckDuckGo but I think nowadays it seems like the better option for sure.

It was, but now at least the people that purchased a license before its shutdown get the endpoint protection version of Cylance. So I basically got an upgrade from Cylance Smart Antivirus to CylancePROTECT which is still receiving updates.

Is it the whole PROTECT package or only the change in the UI to make it 'look' like P?

Thats a good question actually. I think the script and exploit protection only works by post-execution detection, so I can't really test it on my main system. And I don't have a VM set up at the moment. I will ask the support and tell you what their response is.

Sophos is a great product. Their portal is nice too.

What motivated you to install Gdata?

Stable software with customizable and solid protection. Maybe I'll give ESET a spin again when my subscription of G Data runs out in a few months.
