App Review Thor Premium Home Tested 7.12.19

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Did you watch the video?
It was not stable.
I would avoid it judging from this test.
If you want something with Avira signatures F-Secure can also be an option.
Heimdal is another new guy wth bul-bul features. looks stunning for the new eyes.
F secure is enough, if you are a fan of "H+BEDV Datentechnik " detections !

F-Secure doesn't get along with my PC. I installed the trial version. It made my PC sluggish to the point of being unresponsive and it crashed several times. I had to uninstall it the same day.

Then I would go with Avira. While I see F-Secure as a better alternative but Avira is not bad and will offer great protection.

Did you watch it?

The only slowdown/crash issue was on a huge directory of OLD malware and the video creator himself states otherwise the product was exceptionally fast. Based on what I see in the video, the emulation aspect of the engine was struggling with the limited resources in his VM so nobody should be surprised. Also, what is the chances a normal user will run into a directory on their system with hundreds of pieces of old trash malware requiring hundreds of states of emulation at once?

Based on this test, Thor Premium did very well overall. Just add a Phishing Extension to the browser and you are good to go. I found Thor Premium to be fast, lightweight, and offering excellent protection with Avira Bloat or F-Secure Shenanigans.
