[QUOTE="kev216, post: 712390, member: 26237"] I use Sophos home and the reason why I really like it is its simplicity. I don't need a product that has the "next generation" protection that has actually better marketing than protection. Combining too much products isn't not something that I like either. When I often see people combining a free signature AV, with some other product that has average antiransomware protection, and then an anti-keylogger on top of that, a browser extension for safe search, maybe an anti-exe or an anti exploit on top of that, etc... I think that they really should answer the question if they really need all this (sometimes fake feeling of) more protection. A simple AV like Sophos combined with brain.exe is what does it for me. If something looks phishy or malicious, I will not download it. On top of that it runs very light, already blocked some things it should block and never bothers me, so what do I need more? :) [/QUOTE]
