[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 858541, member: 53544"] I'm sorry but I don't think there's such thing as a complete security suite than cames pre-configured for best protection and is totally free. I believe Windows Defender is the most complete antivirus, which I'd actually call a suite (the fact that it comes pre-installed comes with some responsability from Microsoft). You don't usually find folder protection, exploit protection, application control, core isolation, and parental control, in free antivirus software. I can guarantee no other provider will offer such protection for free. And WD even includes greater protection but needs to be configured with policies or regedit, that's why with ConfigureDefender you can just click "HIGH SETTINGS" button and reboot and you don't have to do anything more at all. You cna then look for Kaspersky Free Security Cloud, Avast, Avira, BitDefender free.. Many will have good signatures, but none will offer such complete protection. The rest is up to you. Average Joe's will ALWAYS find a way to outsmart free antiviruses. [/QUOTE]
