The site is one of the sites Protected.net, a scammer group, uses to promote their scam products Totalav, Scanguard and Pcprotect, and for my opinion, its good, but doesnt have many features.

I hate these articles that try and tell you they're cent. The quoted av-test.org mentioned is from Feb 2019 but anyway. I think it's good particularly when I set it to High in ConfiureDefender and use @Andy Ful 's Hard_Configurator to lock down my system

I also use Windows Defender with some tweak in registry and group policy. It is much better compare to default one.I hate these articles that try and tell you they're cent.

I use it and I'm satisfied so far. The thing that bothers me the most is I don't know what data it collects. Microsoft's privacy policy isn't detailed so I have no way of knowing what it does in the back...

I think enough, but you have to adjust some things.
You use Win10...so WD won't collect much more. LOLI use it and I'm satisfied so far. The thing that bothers me the most is I don't know what data it collects. Microsoft's privacy policy isn't detailed so I have no way of knowing what it does in the back...
Good enough if practicing safe computing habits.

Well, that's why I have data collection turned off in Defender and why I refuse to use the new Edge. New Edge is called privacy browser, but it collects the URLs of websites you visit through SmartScreen.
I've been using WD with Configure Defender for the last two years.. I don't go to shady sites. I surf with Chrome and TrafficLight.So far so good.

Don't count on AV detections to defend your OS.
Sooner or later an unknown malware at a certain time always happens to all AV, none excluded.

I hate to admit it, but WD is on par with any other top notch AV in the terms of detection, ever-since it includes ATP.
Exactly, it could really improve GUI and overall user friendliness to control its settings. It is like a great tasting cake, but it just lacks the topping.

I will use WD with H_C when my KIS license expires in a few months.
Why not kaspersky security cloud free it's basically the same thing???

Simply because it is already installed and for my needs it is more than enough.

Even default WD is enough for the sensible home user with updated software. The rest is forum paranoia.
Stay safe, not paranoid my friends!

Tweaked with Configure Defender or H_C its as good as or better than any other AV.
@Captain Awesome as @EndangeredPootis already posted, that website is a scam website which was created to promote their own terrible antiviruses, so is not a trustworthy source of information. They sell the same antivirus under three different names. They also earn affiliate revenue from the other antiviruses they promote.
