please exclude kaspersky.

it's all a matter of personal preference , user a may like product a , user b may like product b. it is best to trial several products and see which suits you and your machine the best. I am currently utilizing fsecure safe ( actually arebrand of my isp. ) but I like it's clean and simple gui , there are almost zero settings to tinker with but it offers awsome protection and has a solid bb.

Other, G Data isn't on the list. That'd be my main pick. Bullguard would be my secondary choice, that's also not even on the list.

Also, 'Paid' FortiClient isn't really something that should be on the list. Because if it was a real paid version being questioned then FortiClient would be so far ahead of other solutions to not even be a fair comparison. FortiClient Paid pairs with FortiGate and FortiSandbox Appliances and the EMS Management Portal activating the Fortiguard Security Fabric and realtime ATP.

When over 25% of your votes are 'other' you know your poll is very poorly done.

G Data has the best privacy . Located in Germany under EU Law. So no Russian or American spying and data collecting.

I like Eset + Voodoo Shield! Works for me.

Make it personal, not technical. Even the best program can let you down. It's always better if you get along with the program and it doesn't annoy you. Defender is the best example here. But if you want a sandbox, firewall and HIPS in one, Comodo is the right choice!
Here I suggest you: Don't be so paranoid for computer security. Fewer is here better! You'd better work on your surfing habits.
So again my recommendation: Windows Defender, if you have a good hard drive.

Is Trend Micro Maximum security actually any good? I've never used it. My first choice would be Kaspersky and my second choice would be Bitdefender from the above choices.

Comodo is a castle, for advanced users.
If you want something more automatic KTS.o Emsisoft

The CIA and Trend will work hard to protect you. As long as you don't mind them popping into your system once in awhile.

i dont understand the trouble about trend micro and the CIA...
if I little pc home user should be afraid what happens with his data...then she shoud avoid google, android, apple, amazon...
or better still live in a "offline world".
monitoring is everywhere these days

I don't like polls like this you open the door for all fanboys and haters
every antivirus has good and bad days. You can see it weekly in our malwarehub

I agree 100%

Using G-Data with Bitdefender engine and a custom engine. Works great, superb detection! Using the Total security suite. Just look at the malwarehub vault Very light on the system.

Exactly.....What L0ckJaw says.

 

[Varok]

i choose malwarebytes, it save me many times based on my experience and it is light on system now

 

[TheErzengel]

i liked emsisoft

light, simple and with best heuristic

I selected other, since it didn't specifiy it had to be an antivirus. My actual choice would be Appguard, since properly configured it stops everything, period

+1, i will say the same.

 

[low L!fe]

I voted for Bitdefender
Bitdefender is the TOP
av-test , av-comparatives in 2017

then Kaspersky, Norton, Gdata , Emsisoft

trendmicro is not the only one, all AV are friends of marcus, andrew and george Uncle. No one knows what they do with the recollected data.
