[QUOTE="SearchLight, post: 826382, member: 63857"] I appreciate all the comments, and agree with all of you. Reputation is important but I realize now that in the quest for the best, one might be inclined to use a cannon when one really needs a good pistol. That said, many of these so called free or paid AVs are bloated to the extent of features that one may never need, or unless you turn them off, effect performance. That said, imo one should think less is more. Being that CF/cs is already a bloated program albeit a good one with the occasional version hiccup, I think my answer is finding the smallest effective program that I feel would provide me with that additional comfort zone. Programs that come to mind, although not necessarily perfect or in order: VS, OSA, Webroot, ZAM, ZAL(although it sounds like it will be fading out soon), CAV which can be integrated into CF/cs(their website indicates they found a vulnerability and are working on a fix), MBAM, or something like System Hardener which is more passive. Moreover, it sounds like the movement is more to signatureless based programs that monitor behavior, and make decisions via AI by connecting to databases over internet for immediate responses. Cylance was one, which I tried but it is known for false positives, and its GUI is somewhat narrow in configuration. Well as I search, at least I make Backups, and have a good uninstaller that removes leftovers. Who knows, I might just come back to working with, and just familiarizing myself more with good 'ol CF/cs:). [/QUOTE]
