[QUOTE="Dex4Sure, post: 849179, member: 79841"] Save the money and buy Office 365 with 1TB cloud storage instead... Throwing money into AV is total waste of money today. Windows Defender and firewall are more than enough these days. If you want to really spend money on some "security" solution, I'd buy AdGuard lifetime licence... Yes, uBlock Origin and other browser based adblockers mostly do the job just as well, but AdGuard being full fledged desktop program has its advantages. Namely ability to block ads in any program, including Windows store apps. What this also allows for instance is if you don't pay for Spotify premium, you'll still be able to listen to music ad free with their desktop app ;D But yeah, hate to say it since I know many here like to fiddle around in settings with 3rd party AVs, but there is no real point in that anymore.
