What combination is best against all kinds of malware and attacks.
I have used both and arguably they are comparable in terms of protection. (others with deeper understand of system can answer better). I find CL easier to use, very easy, & IMO that should be a component of your question. Currently I'm running MS Defender + WHHL in win10_vm. I haven't voted yet, and may abstain.

Both are very good. But I find Cyberlock too expensive outside the USA.
I looked since I could not recall price. I computer 1 year $30.00 USD. If you're using it with MS Defender (free) that's $30.00 -- What are you paying outside USA? I suppose some other AV are less than $30, I recall seeing less and seeing more. What price would not be a deal breaker?

I have a lifetime license but for me I would measure every AV software on the Norton/Kaspersky license prices on ebay (from shops listed as authorized sellers). They are at under 10€ so around 11$ :D

Why need bulletproof ? You are just a home user, the chance you encounter any malware is like 0.00001%
where does your percentage come from? ie, source? I definitely had malware at least once in past 24 years, not lately. Or you're saying MS Defender is enough, I would perhaps agree. And I was targeted several years ago, but to no effect. Lately I "worry" more about phishing attempts and data collection from legitimate sources.

If you surf normally, don't download naughty things or pirated software you will be fine with a Normal AV Suite, like Kaspersky, Avast, Norton , F-Secure etc.
Totally bogus to make it "bulletproof" and no i do not use Defender, i use Norton360 premium.

probably just chickenshit me, but I almost always buy AV licenses from developer / vendor, not from 3d-parties, but perhaps that's over-cautious? Hence when F-Secure wanted $90 at the end of my first year, I said nevermind. Yes, I know there are work-a-rounds...

currently running MS Defender + WHHL in this VM after seeing Shadowra's test the other day, and I had been wanting to use WHHL. This also feels close to bulletproof. Or wishful thinking :ROFLMAO:

You can opt for View results without needing to vote. How does your non-bulletproof setup compare to CyberLock?
thanks it looks like CL is leading CF. To get a good / correct answer to your question, you'd have to ask @Andy Ful or @danb :) how does protection between CL & WHHL compare? Experience-wise, running VS/CL plus 10 years versus WHHL about 2 days, so far no malware with either. :ROFLMAO: I'm "investigating" @Andy Ful's approach of hardening windows system resources. Seems preferable... :unsure: Having said that, CF (@cs) containment is also solid. I am running CL on my hardware pc, so I guess I've vote for CL.
PS: ... but I rarely run CL always ON...
