Gave zonealarm a try, but its still making my gaming pc run sluggish > clean install > installed kaspersky plus since i have 1.5 years of license left

Current setup:
- Kaspersky premium on default settings
- Adguard ( enabled url tracking filter, ublock origin badware risks, online malicious url list(?) + encrypted hello client enabled)
- Google chrome ( since it works with the android version of kaspersky best, + new ai protection is probably decent )

Might try sophos home premium in future as its cheap 15€/year but wont beat kaspersky at all, but lets see how long im keeping kaspersky running , plan is forever
