I am still with Windows Defender & Firewall.
Waiting for Comodo Internet Security for Win 10 to be released.

Avast - Dont like ads/popups.
Avira - Not good GUI plus no proactive.
AVG - Dont like the number of processes.
Panda Cloud - Not good GUI plus I find the protection decent but not good, etc...
Bitdefender Free - If new version comes up & I like it then will decide.
360 TSE - FPs prone plus some reasons dont like to use it.
Dont want to use the 1 year promo AV lic I have (I have decided not to waste time installing/uninstalling AVs. So I am going to decide on one & keep it until it gives me any probs).
Only free ones I am going to use.

Back to Windows Defender because everything else seems to be slowing down the system.

Was previously using Avast Pro, it just makes the computer sluggish right now.

Might actually use ESET as it seems to be the only one that doesn't slow down the computer.
I recommend Eset and Comodo Internet Security Free

Note : These are my personal opinions, you don't have to agree with me. If you're a Comodo user, please continue to use it if you wish to do so.

Comodo is a product that is highly overrated, I have absolutely no idea why people praise them so much. Perhaps they can go back to bragging about how they're fixing 300+ bugs every release.

If they actually managed to legitimately fix that many bugs, it would clearly indicate that their program is unreliable.

ESET Smart Security 9 Beta and it works flawless. The best thing is that it shows that license is valid till 30 Nov 2015. :D

Kaspersky 2016 is fine, it will work, but under the hood the actual components will not protect you on 64bit OS as the tech guy said, it's a 50% chance either way. But when you are told not to do online banking, do not download new software and stick to websites you know are malware free, your confidence in a product diminishes in seconds. Personally for an AV company like Kaspersky, who could work with Microsoft, as other's have, with the additional aspect of certification by AV Comparatives, is very poor? What about those who do not read the huge manual, the novice user, who does online banking, clicks the wrong email, they would not be protected against crypto ransomware.

Once I upgrade, I will use Windows Defender. I may decide to use Sandboxie when it's compatible and stable.

Web Malware and Download Protection will be provided by Google Chrome's SafeBrowsing. As I don't download or visit malicious websites, and do take necessary precautions against possible PUP/Adware.

Windows 10 will be kept up-to-date with any security updates.
All other software will be updated, unless low-risk and delay/skip updates (ie. CCleaner).

Interesting. That explains the slight increase on RAM usage (couldn't really tell as I run 2x EVE clients)

Edit: Don't know whats worse. a memory leak when running WSA or the problems reported in both AVG and AVAST forums (skipping AVIRA completly due to spam posts there).

More reasons to stick WIndows Defender.
