Which Antivirus to purchase?

[CoherentCrayon]

From what I know, Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security is merged into Norton Security.

Windows Defenfer is really solid now. But, if you really need to buy, go for Kaspersky.

 

[212eta]

There's no need to buy.

 

[Paul Lee]

They all offer 30 day trials. Why not try them out?

Buying an Antivirus/Suite software is a waste of time and money.

• Improve your security knowledge and awareness
  
• Implement a backup plan
• If you want additional security, invest in non-AV security solutions

If you use Windows 10, upgrade to latest stable build for the most up to date security features that Windows Defender can offer.

for real security no antivirus is required .for peace of mind I will go for kaspersky.

I hope it's not too late. None from the store. Go to Wilders Security or check the Giveaway section here on MT and get one with a big discount or even a 1 year free license. I think Zemana still has their 751 day license. Just use WD and ZAM and you're already at the level of protection of anything you have to pay for.

I suggest downloading a trial of Emsisoft and see how you like it. Of the three listed, I'd pick Kaspersky.

 

[Windows Defender Shill]

That's the fist time I've seen a Bitdefender box.

And they put some stupid guy on it

Instead of the awesome cyber wolf dragon creature.

Everything relies on what specifications your computer possesses. Since all those options are great, i would suggest you go with the lightest one that does not sacrifice your performance. Don't waste your money on poducts that may slow down your system.

My recommendation: download free trials for those programs and test how they perform on your system (one at a time!). Come to a conclusion by yourself.

If no problems are found with all of them, i would go with Kaspersky.

 

[ForgottenSeer 67480]

I recommend you purchase Emsisoft or Norton or G Data.

 

[Dhruv2193]

I would recommend emsisoft or kaspersky. You can judge which of the 2 or any other software to buy by installing the trial versions.

I'm confused between BitDefender and kaspersky!!!!!

I'm confused between BitDefender and kaspersky!!!!!

It's the choice you need to make so once again I suggest to try the trial versions of both and choose the one you like the most.

I'm confused between BitDefender and kaspersky!!!!!

Either one will serve you well but on a personal note, i have used both of them and prefer Kaspersky mainly because Bitdefender didn't perform very well on my system (W7) and you can configure more with Kaspersky if you wish so that gets my vote but please take the advice given above and test the trial versions first to see which suits you better then make your choice based on your own experience.

I think I will repeat what the Companions have said. Try a Bitdefender month and another Kaspersky month and draw your own conclusions.

Here is Emsisoft Anti-Malware , 30-days free trial.

Then:

- if you buy for more than one machine/year, it is cheaper , we have an actual promotion running Emsisoft | Buy Anti-Malware Software For Your Home
- if once you buy EAM, you persuade a friend/family to try it , your license duration is extended by one month; if they buy EAM; you gains 6 months ! i dont think other vendors does that.

i read that kaspersky is acting with russia against the usa and it's allies. it could have a back door in it. i will not pay for kaspersky. the money would help putin's aggression.

i got a deal for bitdefender total security for $20. i can not do any thing else, while doing a full scan. it takes all the PC power. i have a core i5 processor and 8GB of memory. Emsisoft emergency kit also takes all my PC power. i will do a full scan with zemana free, only.

You can't believe everything you read. There is no actual proof, to back up the claims.

so you have a problem somewhere, because i have a old laptop (i5 3230 & 6Gb RAM) and Emsisoft is running smooth.
