[QUOTE="cosmos, post: 858491, member: 85772"] If you are not stating in this in the context of marketing data used, then no offiense but I whole-heartidly do not agree with this statement, even though I do not [B]use[/B] free products myself. I install them for others. Even so, [B]I[/B] (alone) could live on Defender. I elect not to do so, mainly due to performance reasons and false positives. Free products are pretty good for home users and there are good products out there. OTOH (and OT a bit) b[B]usiness users[/B] are a different story. If, however, you stated this in a context of personal privacy, I could agree. Still, users decided to have facebook. Privacy gone... That's funny, I don't recall something like that happening with my older KES and KAV installations. Isn't the free version configurable in the sense that a policy of infected file can be defined right after installation? If what you're describing is true, then yeah, Kaspersky is definitely out of the picture. Stability wise Bitdefender is definitely not going to be included in my upcoming plans, no matter how many rewards they get. Reminds me of some Panda corporate AVs some ten years ago, that simply decided to stop working (even though the adminsecure console showed them just fine). What a nightmare! So things are getting back to Avast? Pity.... Thanks for the link mate, nice reading. [/QUOTE]
