[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 811886, member: 51905"] hi, avast has the best balance between performance and protection so that's the reason I use for years. I don't mind about other flaws such as privacy or bugs because I can deal with it by some tweaks or workaround I don't like installing any extra in my computer. OSArmor used to be my favorite softwares but it's incompatible with avast on windows 8.1. Some users also reported the same issue on windows 10. Many people don't have this issue and the developer couldn't reproduce it so he couldn't fix it moreover, OSArmor did cause some false positives on my side and it consumed some resource (quite significant) while I was running some cmd commands syshardener works very similarly but requires zero installation and it consumes absolutely 0 resource. It's enough for me especially when I have avast's hardened mode aggressive enabled. The chance of being bypassed is really slim against regular malwares, even less than other better AVs like kaspersky, BD, norton/symantec,... because avast has hardened mode (aka default-deny against new, not yet-reputable exe files). Those better free AVs don't have default-deny module besides avast, there are also windows smartscreen, google safe browsing (my browser), emsisoft and windows defender extensions this is my avast's setting [MEDIA=imgur]a/0IUGl9c[/MEDIA] I also blocked some telemetry using hosts file my syshardener [MEDIA=imgur]a/k9Qd92x[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
