[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 858492, member: 53544"] No free antivirus will give you a top level solid protection. Most free AVs are just signature engines and some modules, but lack good protection against ransomware, folder protection, application control, HIPS, etc. If you want software to install to home users, then my suggestion would be: stay with Windows Defender, add ConfigureDefender (AndyFul) and harden the system with SysHardener. Add an adbocker to their browser and maybe UnChecky. I hardly doubt they will infect that. If you manage users in an enterprise level (for example you're CSO or IT responsible of security) you can in no way trust free antivirus or free solutions. You should be looking for enterprise oriented software, and further beyond than regular 1st gen antivirus. [/QUOTE]
