I havent got updated in this community in a while so I thought it would be a good idea to know what is the best anti virus.
I tried to install BitDefender but for some reason after I registered it is not launching and I have no way to acces it after I Installed it.
Im not getting BitDefender of the table, but if anyone has a seloution let me know.
-Thanks to all!
A lot has been already said above. After joining MT, I realized how much the effectiveness of AVs vary by the needs & the skills of the user. Also, not all of the best AVs suit every curious user.
eg. Kaspersky has features that beginners may not even know are present, or how to use them effectively. They might go on finding more stuffs to add to their setup.
As
@mekelek said, these 3 are among the top performers at places. I disagree with the point that any AV is good with safe practices, however. A lot of your work, identification and following decisions on files and connections etc, known and unknown, are being taken by the AV/IS you've installed. Hence, the product matters a lot (except for the experienced users who entirely rely on SRPs and whitelisting mechanisms..). But again, no AV is foolproof or complete.
If you're on hunt, you can either go on trying the famous ones to find out what suits you
OR try Comodo FW at CS' settings
OR choose one of the 3 (KIS/Emsi/BD) that you find interesting & convenient and probably accompany it with a fortification like VoodooShield (multi-engine scan of executed files, default blocking of files & command lines, VoodooAI Threat score, sandbox)
or HitmanProAlert (strong exploit protection, keystroke encryption, Zeroday protection, safe browsing...) etc. as needed.
Regarding your Bitdefender problem, the most common reason of BD interface not opening is when BD profile is set to "Battery Mode". Since you're unable to access it, it will still be a problem! If you get the screen, go to Settings >> Profiles and disable battery mode first
