Security Software You'd Never Go Back To

For now...
Bitdefender - buggy, cutoff my network drives, I need to add exception,
Avira - so heavy and weak dynamic protection
Kaspersky - personally I have no problem but its FW bypass posted here in MT just makes me feel insecure, until it's fixed I'm not going back
I hope it's solved in the future, I like them all though
 
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over-and-over, but expecting a different result.

Bugs that affect usability and security that never get fixed - but users hope they are fixed with each next release...
 
I think the products change to much year to year to write one off forever. That being said Avast left a nasty taste in my mouth when they released a faulty program update and their general bombardment of false positives.

Also Malwarebytes premium web protection started causing frequent BSODs for me.

Well, reading the posts, several different products are mentioned and this means that considering the timeline, many of the products have disappointed for different reasons.
I agree with @Yash Khan.
"Never say never...You never know"
 
IOBIT: slow down your computer, install some shady extensions, also it can harm your system's files.
Panda: bad detection rate and when you uninstall their S/W it leaves a lot of traces and processes running.
Sophos: same than Panda, plus it slow downs the machine and it's too complicated.
Ad-Aware: no web protection, slow as molasses in January, also their WebProtection (it can't block anything) install as adware.
TuneUP (Now included in AVG): it literally kills your PC.
McAfee: everything can protect your PC better than this.
Comodo: Sloooow, poorest signatures in the market and too many popups asking you if you want to run an program or not.
Norton: The free trial included on your laptop has been expired, I decided to make a clean Windows Install :D
ESET: falses positives and high system impact.
SpyHunter: it's better to have a virus on your PC than this.
