[Back3]

Kaspersky Internet Security and F-Secure Safe....

 

[ForgottenSeer 78429]

I vote for F-Secure SAFE.
But this poll is interesting, Malwarebytes got 2 votes and McAfee got 1.

 

[gery79]

Norton 360

 

[RoboMan]

I will nominate:

1. Kaspersky Internet Security - for being probably the most complete suite, combining light protection, a great behaviour blocker (System Watcher), Application Control which can be configured as default deny , and several great tools as "Ransomware remediation" which rollbacks ransomware action, Private Browsing which basically hides you from trackers online, and many more.

2. BitDefender Total Security - which basically should be awarded the Revelation Award since the complete turnover their devs did with the product. In 2020/2021 version you can find an extremely light antivirus (even lighter than ESET for me), a very very sophisticated behaviour blocker, a secure folder module with whitelist for specific programs, and a top tier web protection. I will repeat what I have been saying for a while now: Whenever BitDefender implements an Application Control module, it will be my top tier antivirus and probably gain much more users off Kaspersky. The only thing that's keeping me away from installing it is the fact that I need to pair it up with an antiexe, since there's no way I'm trusting my security to a blacklisting-type of software.

 

[Stas]

My vote for Kaspersky & ESET both light & have less FP than other AV.

 

[ZeePriest]

Kaspersky Internet Security
Bitdefender Internet Security

[Venustus]

Kaspersky

[Digmor Crusher]

I have no dog in this fight as I haven't tried any suites in at least 10 years. But based on extensive research I would nominate these 2 for their protection levels.

Kaspersky
Bitdefender

 

[ChoiceVoice]

dang, this is like picking your fave chocolate bar, it keeps fluctuating depending on what I want.
Let's go with eset, webroot and then kasp.

 

[Deletedmessiah]

I vote Eset Internet Security. Light and friendly. Only annoyance was the web filter which is a bit strict. Another reason being that its the only one I used this year

 

[Kami7]

Some of the lightest solutions on the market, privacy-oriented with very good protection, for me these are just the two options
1.F-Secure
2.Emsisoft

 

[Minimalist]

I nominated only one so my second nomination goes to Emsisoft AM - it's lightest for me and I like it's minimal approach to security.
