[QUOTE="cosmos, post: 858696, member: 85772"] Oh boy, don't know what/who to address/respond/ask first :D The question is whether WD+configuredefender is better than Kaspersky free in terms of robustness/performance. Defender [B]is[/B] heavy. Plus, suppose a WD update/upgrade on a remote system breaks whatever ConfigureDefender has installed, how can I reach the user then? Some answers below have posted excellent why-nots (IMHO). Geeks! :D Exactly, users can not be trusted! They can't remember that Ctrl+c is copy for heaven's sake... First time I've heard about that, thanks! How do these two compare? (Decent) benchmarks and reviews? Why did they decide to release yet another free product? Performance reasons? EDIT: Actually they've replaced the free av product with the cloud one, [URL="https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/security-cloud-free/28890/"]What happened to Kaspersky Free antivirus ?[/URL] Always do the same (ie, uninstall the VPN and disable web protection). I've experienced this first hand, bad thing for stability. Good thing it was configurable. But I was under the impression this issue got solved. [/QUOTE]
