What do you like the most about your AV?

What's the best part of your security software/antivirus/suite?

In my case, Application Manager is the thing i love the most about Kaspersky.

Ye why have fun talking about your favourite security software when you can answer for the 11th time in the week on threads about which is the best antivirus

For my personal systems I use security softs that do not cause much in the way of problems - due to bugs, high resource usage, incompatibilities, etc. So it all comes down usability. I look for what works best for me personally on my specific systems. One set of softs is not always appropriate for all machines due to different usage patterns.

I think selecting softs is highly personal. Everybody has different likes and dislikes so the answers given here will be very interesting.

I'm fully agree with lockdown when it concerns to me, ESET and Emsisoft are for me the less intrusive with nice features and with a great performance. I like network attack protection and device control on eset and surfing protection on emsisoft with custom hosts.
However, I like to recomend kaspersky because of the application manager, and the recent software updater.

trend micro anti-virus has a feature whereby you can designate a drive / folder to be guarded exclusively against ransomware, i like that.

The thing Ilike most about my AV EIS is that I won it here at MT.

 

[DeepWeb]

It blocks malicious files before they even make it to my computer.

I only like anti-exe/SRP and sandboxes; those i have full control over so i can lock my system.
Anti-exploits are useful to me but not mandatory on my security strategy.

i dont rely much on "reputation" or listing made by anyone., so AVs are excluded from my strategy (not saying they are amost all bloated by crap features and consume way too much resources and other issues)

It blocks malicious files before they even make it to my computer.

your anti-virus is installed in your computer.

it is in your computer that the anti-virus executes / runs.

it is in your computer that it analyzes / scans the malicious / suspicious files. these malicious files too reside in your computer.

the malicious files have already made it to your computer, whether or not you like it.

@ispx dont forget web filters features, some can block the download of malicious files before they get in the computer.

It has a web filter and it checks malicious URLs and files against the cloud before a connection is established. The download is not even occurring.

Since I run a bunch of computers, I like Emsisoft's capability of sending e-mails if something goes sideways without having to buy some pure endpoint solution.

I like to see my horse winning almost every race.

I like to see my horse winning almost every race.

that's correct, pure Putin oil running turbo diesel engine monster.

I like the Eset performance, protection, and stability. It only use around of 30 mb of RAM on my machine.

 

[Deletedmessiah]

What I like about EAM are clean interface, strong behaviour blocker and the fact that it only has protection related stuffs. No cleaner, optimizer, secure browser and other unnecessary bloatware.

 

[SHvFl]

I like products that do not annoy me. I have a short amount of patience so it's important that i like how an application functions on daily usage.

What I like about Sophos Home is that it is really simple and clean and doesn't nag at all with stupid ads. It's really free without asking to upgrade in any way.
