Hi.

Changelog included.

For now i'm gonna use just Windows Defender since Bitdefender was literally the last reliable AVs we can use in Iran.
there is only Emsisoft and Comodo & Dr.Web left for now and of course Windows Defender.

I don't think if i go with any of them but we'll see.

yup comments are welcome and appreciated but not necessary by any means.

  • Bitdefender Total Security > Windows Defender [found Bitdefender making my Windows Login process alot slower for some reason]
  • Wise Care 365 > Microsoft PC Manager
  • MB: PRIME Z590-A Gaming > PRIME Z790-P WIFI

mostly playing with my pc specs nowadays also this Microsoft PC Manager seems promising had some bugs issues but every version makes UI better and fix more issues so yea looks promising.

UPDATE: back to Bitdefender Premium Security, found that the slow was because of me playing with regedit to give games higher priority. not Bitdefender fault. fresh install of Windwos fixed it.
