Battle Panda Cloud, Avira Free, Windows Defender

[RmG152]

Hi all, I want to change 360IS for another free product because 360 give me too much FP.

I don't like Avast, and i want to now the better option between the 3 products in the title.

All on Windows 8.1

Free solutions discarted:
360IS & 360 TS: to much FP.
Comodo: slowdown my computer on w8.1, i don't know why, because works great on w7.
Avast!: i dont like it.
AVG: i don't trust it.
Immunet: i like it as companion, not as main AV.

at moment I say AVIRA and AVIRA PRO if you have money to buy it. he has false positives but its a great product and his webfilter is improved a lot.

360 own engine it's the fp master, not bitdefender or avira.

PD: MSE or WD is great product:

MSE or WD is a great product if you want less FP's because it catches almost next to nothing if you compare it with other antiviruses.

After a short test of WD on Malware Hub I can say:
Windows Defender is GOOD detencting Virus, Trojans, etc.
Windows Defender is BAD detecting Adware, PUP, etc.

Avira. Avira is lightweight and pretty effective antivirus.

from long term experience, Avast was and still is one of the best free anti virus on the market today and yesterday. as for tomorrow who knows. you have no other solid free option. yep qihoo is better but still new to say for the long term.
I'm not Avast user.

I am a 360TS user. Lower FP compared to Avast, Avira or Panda.

Panda free antivirus 2015 is a much better choice than handicapped Avira Free which lacks web scanning. Paid version, Avira Pro 2015 is a solid performer though. Avoid free version at any cost.

When it comes to worms, Avira performs better by stopping these malwares based on heuristics which Panda can't even detect.

after testing both I would avoid both.

One cannot count upon heuristics to provide much detection...
