What a day it was! I had made up my mind and installed Bitdefender Internet Security, which if offered by my ISP, and so far so good. I feel no performance hit but only slowed down browsing a bit. Other than that everything is running smooth. Regarding password managers, I am back to 1Password. Most importantly, I have downgraded Windows to 1809 for more stability.

Tested 3 products; Kaspersky Total Security, Mcafee Internet Security and Bitdefender Internet Security. Now I am back to MIS and here's why

1- It is the lightest of the three products
2- My license expires in 1500 days
3- It offers good protection ( I am very careful when it comes to browsing, so having MIS installed is better than not having a security product at all)
4- I hate kaspersky license policy. "You have exceed the maximum ......." and you have to contact the support and wait days for them to reset the license count.
5- TAM slows down the overall performance
6- Bitdefender slows down the download speed
7- Bitdefender takes ages to appear in the task bar "maybe slow startup"

Finally, Mcafee gives the least issues, is light, is good at protection and is very cheap.

F-Secure Safe installed on almost all of my devices. Only two devices don't have F-Secure installed. 1 has Eset and 1 has Mcafee.
Ditched 1Password and now back to Sticky Password

Why did you go back to Sticky, what was the problem with 1 Password?

Hi! First, I have a lifetime license for Sticky Password. Sticky password offers a portable version that you can store on USB devices. The Wifi sync option is also great. Above all, the pricing is the dealbreaker for me. 1Password is costy, at least for me.
