Battle What would be a Lightweight Security Suite?

[tlacenka]

Hi, looking for security suite - have tried actually payed versions of:
Kaspersky internet security
Emsisoft antimalware
Bitdefender internet security
Norton security
The problem on this mashine is with performance (even with not default settings) od with updates (slowing down) - want to try anything other být dont know-how what to choose- please help mě decide

Eset for me is very light, but has one of the worst protections according to several tests like AV-C.

Sorry but I tend to disagree here. I test ESET here at the MT hub and it's signatures are among the best(edged out only by Kaspersky). But if you consider the dynamic protection, yes it's on the weaker side.

Emsisoft is great protection and light
i am using it for 2 years and never had any problems
(dded vodoo shield to it is very light and effective combo)

For performance, Eset or Panda as everyone mentioned but both are weak for protection.I would choose Avira, lightweight these days and very good protection.

I dont agree. I think Eset is the antivirus that has most medals in a row. Over 10 years as far as I remember. I dont know Panda good enough to say anything about it. But I have seen many charts where it had a pretty good result.
If not Eset, then Emsisoft. One of those 2.

If you don't trust Emsisoft enough to protect you, why more clumse your system with useless Voodooshield on top of it. It's an unquality soft with garbage code for crackpots, don't live in lies.

i trust it but i am paranoid person so i take mutli defense lines approach
but Emsisoft is a great and well developed piece of software with excellent customer support they focus on their software and it is light smart and easy to configure

Voodooshield is useless with garbage code? Do you mind showing us why? Just in laymans terms?

Come on guys. VoodooShield is a great piece of software. It has excellent protection against scripts and it's also an excellent anti executable. Moreover it looks up VT and has AI to determine if an executable is safe or malicious. Even more, it includes a local as well as a remote sandbox where a user can execute any file and see what the file does. The best part is it can be used alongside any AV and they have a free version for commercial use. I used to use VS/OSArmor with ESET IS. But since I've purchased AppGuard lifetime licence, I use AG with ESET. Sadly AG doesn't cater to home users now. I bet ya all with all mah money....try to breach ESET and AG combo..... you'll fail.

Free and light...Kaspersky cloud free and VS or Kaspersky cloud free and CFW. Either will get the job done and offer you great protections.

VoodooShield is slow to update to the latest Windows 10 Builds (doesn't seem like they use Insider Builds to prepare), it has also caused issues with Kaspersky in the past.

With IS Suites you don't need any more third-party software either, they just need to be properly tweaked (especially ESET).

Since I use windows 7, can't comment about 10 but yes version 4 had some bugs the last time I tried it. But since I used the free version, I didn't rant about it. Yes a suite properly configured is all that's needed for a proper user. I use AG to supplement ESET just because I have a license else ESET doesn't require a companion.

What would be a lightweight security package?
ESET and McAfee.
There are also programs such as Anti-Exe and SRP very light combinations, but it is no longer a package.
