My security!

[Nikos751]

I like to test antimalware programs behaviour, system footprint etc so it's possible that I 'll have another real time app soon until I find what's best for me. I had been using Avast free for a long period of time until I had the driver issues with Win8..I was ver satisfied till then. Also, I cannot afford antivirus protection so I look for free apps, long trials, promotions etc. I don't like antimalware programs that slow down the system or take ages to scan files.
My big question is whether tests in av-comparatives, av-test etc (real world tets, performance, file detection..) represent a real idea of a product's abilities.

How long do you have Kaspersky registered for? Also some more addons that you can add to Chrome; Lastpass, Adblock Plus, HTTPS Everywhere, WOT (if needed), No Script.

Also any reason you don't have MBAM as an On-Demand Scanner?

I have registered it for 90 days with a key provided by a promotion I found on the net. I don't need last pass 'cause I prefer to remember my passwords (every app makes the pc/application a bit heavier also). As for adblock plus I am not sure if it gets the page to load faster so I don't use is at this time. HTTPS everywhere I 've heard it makes some sites not work correctly and about WOT I 've just forgot to install it after reinstalling windows some time ago. I also don't see any serious reason to install No script..
MBAM is another on demand scanner that I use, but it is not installed at the time. I will install it soon as I do always..

Seeing as you have KIS installed you don't really need to run WOT alongside it as KIS has it's own web reputation feature.

I changed from Kaspersky to Webroot 6 months trial (promo from this forum).. Its very very light! But Is it really a good product? because I 've seen mixed reviews..

Why did you uninstall KIS?

You can run KIS & Webroot Secure Anywhere side by side.Just make exclusions in KIS for WSA and they run beautifully together.WSA is a very good program and extremely light.It is better served as a companion program as it can be installed a run alongside just about every security.

I run KIS 2013 & WSA together on Windows 7

I know it can be used side by side.. but I did it for better performance of my PC I believe that WSA is enough alone; I did a small research via google about webroot, cloud etc.. No doubt that KIS & WSA together provide better protection than WSA alone but it must be a small difference as I have MBAM and hitman pro for 2nd opinion scanners.

Very interesting!! I 've read some things on cloud antivirus but this review answered my questions about the specific product.
