Software Battle Which AV/IS,you love the most

[Nikos751]

None of them, they all cause some issue or another.

To which are you refering to? Avast, Comodo for example indeed can cause issues to many users. On the other hand, Eset is said to be ok.

 

[Spawn]

None in particular, just all security products.

Fanboys can calm down.

 

[Oxygen]

None of them, they all cause some issue or another.

Then what do you use?

 

[Spawn]

The topics asks what Antivirus I love the most, and I say none.

OT: I use Windows Defender.

 

[XhenEd]

Kaspersky: because of its layered protection... no slow downs for me...

Maybe the title of this thread should be changed to "Which product are you a dedicated fanboy of?"
In this case we have a lot of ESET fanboys.

Thanks.

Since (McAfee) scan.exe is not longer available, on DOS (hehe), I've mostly been using Norton Antivirus (like almost everything about it, including how certain sections can be disabled, without the Windows (7) Action Center activating; and/or how the disabled features can be ignored within NAV, so that there won't be a notice, there, either).

Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender

Hi, there are literally hundreds of (or in any case many, now and in the past) articles and/or reasons why MSE isn't a very good product (or ever was?); just one example is @ this (old ) link:

http://www.informationweek.com/security/vulnerabilities-and-threats/microsoft-security-essentials-loses-av-certification/d/d-id/1107614?

Not confirmed, but the "timeline" looks absolutely horrendous (2012-12-05, 'vendor informed' && 2013-02-13, 'vendor released fixed version'); took ~2 months to *fix*

P.S.

ESET no need to explain why.

Honestly, I do NOT know why, btw. =)

Webroot SecureAnywhere - is effective, does not slow down the system because it runs in the cloud.

I used to use Webroot until I got infected. My ISP Tech fixed the problem & told me Webroot was not the best choice for an AV. If you use Webroot you are playing with FIRE in my opinion!
