Is it really that good?

My biased answer. EMSISoft because I haven't used the other software for ages.

no idea where this is coming from, but from testing it for a few days, saw the BB active maybe once, and the anti-ransomware module failed on every single ransomware variant.

TrustPort haven't used it so i can't say.

GData is a good software but needs improvement.Heavy on old systems even though it has improved lately.

Emsisoft the lightest and very good out of the box protection.A very good choice for protecting your system.

Dr.Web also very goo but needs some tweaks to provide better protection.
A very good product for protection but a bit heavy on old systems.

In my opinion GD, EAM and DW are good products and they will protect your system.If you like to make some tweaks you will have fun with Dr.Web.

I vote Dr. Web first, Trustport second.

Dr. Web is unique, and quite strong and doesn't use the $2 hooker of AV engines (Bit Defender) which is a big positive IMO. Emsisoft is good, but I had to drop it, way too many FP's and some web blocking that was screwing up a lot of stuff. I like it but hesitate to recommend anymore. Trustport I have used off and on. It looks a bit lame, like some kid in paint made the UI, but it's pretty strong and lightweight despite the engines.

But here is he thing most AV users are set it and forget type of users,plus why is its zero day protection is turned off.

Kaspersky's "zero-day" (anti-exploit) protection is a part of the System Watcher module and is turned ON by default.

There is no such thing as "zero-day" malware protection. The terminology "zero-day" applies to exploits and not malware - but people have perverted its original meaning. The industry is mostly at-fault for mixed-use of terminology that sows nothing but confusion. When users read 15 different articles with the same terminology applied in 5 completely different contexts then it is no wonder there is so much user confusion.

It is just like some people do not know the technical difference between anti-exploit and exploit prevention.

KIS has HIPS.. This sandbox mania is killing me, how can you stand running all your apps inside a vacuum that demolishes performance of that app?
