I was interested in what the popular period scanners are. I reviewed the 60 most recently updated Computer Security Configuration posts that were classified as Security: Complete. The results are below. Obviously popular doesn't mean the best.

I didn't count Password Managers or VPN extensions as these both now have separate categories in the computer configuration template and I didn't want to skew the results.

Some of these extensions require a software installed on your system to work. I think you can remove those extensions from the list like XDM, IDM, Joplin, Ant Download manager and i don't think that F-Secure Browser Protection will work without F-Secure installed, same for Kaspersky.

EDIT: I think either @MacDefender or @upnorth can tell us more about F-Secure extension.
