[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 924716, member: 83059"] I think some of the less obvious things take longer to figure out too, even as an experienced user. For example, ESET's firewall interacts really badly with Miracast's virtual network adapters and the way they appear out of nowhere and then do P2P communications with ports open on both ends makes it almost impossible to write rules for or whitelist by adapter. I don't know if everyone tries mirroring to a TV. Kaspersky and F-Secure both cause extremely high CPU usage for WSL1 (seems like WSL1 triggers behavior blocker monitoring). These days most of the times within a few days I'll have a good idea how the product generally behaves because of the research I do and the experiences I read from other users here. But the other non-obvious things like Kaspersky blocking all IO during a major engine upgrade... or how Norton/Symantec randomly pushes AdvML.* detections that randomly mark all powershell scripts as malware once or twice a year? That's where I'd rather have a long enough trial to make up my mind before spending too much. These days though, for serious contenders I just keep a 1 year license going. It was nice to still have an ESET license to test 14.x when it came out. [/QUOTE]
