Malwarebytes premium+ MS defender= great protection.

+1 This is what I use too. I also use the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension in Edge but for some reason MBBG slows down some websites in the Chrome browser so I use the Chrome Windows Defender extension to integrate Chrome with MS Smart Screen. I don't use Chrome that often though. I really like how Windows Security interfaces with Edge.

C.H.

Mcafee has been very attractive lately with good detection rates and being very lite on the system. The VPN could be better as youtube blocks it but other than that you really dont need to even update it it's a great install and forget. They also dont have the "upsell" junk" like norton has in it's UI.

Macafee seemed to have been improved since it was back then acquired by Intel and I'm interested what improvements it will have now under trellix
From what I have seen so far it's an average av so far with more false positives then the top ones


the test will be very interesting as it has products that aren't getting tested enough and soon in q1 2025 I'm pretty sure most av labs will have tests too Wich will be very useful for everyone to find their picks

I just want to see Kaspersky vs Eset Smart for protection and which one is lighter between the two?

ESET is lighter on every lab test and from personal experience then Kaspersky
About protection we will have eto wait for the test but usually Kaspersky was the top and nowadays it isn't always although it still has some of the best behavioral detection (system watcher ) and does really good against threats av have a hard time dealing with and that was shown for example with cruel sister worm testing , ransomware tests
Reason I don't really use Kaspersky is political but everyone can agree it's an amazing product
But personally I have bias towards ESET as its the alternative I use for Kaspersky and being lighter and competitive with Kaspersky is very rare
 
very nice video dude. congrats.

it would be good to see your testings with kasper free, bit free and nort... ops.. avast free (avast and norton are the same).

windows defender relies on signatures only (almost). i dont see it having what it needs to be the top, but anyway. good test. maybe with newly released samples it would be a better aproach as these are the real problems these days.
