[QUOTE="XLR8R, post: 890685, member: 85385"] Used many AV products over the years. All of my family computers are protected by either BullGuard, AVG, eScan or BitDefender. For younger populations/gamer types, BullGuard is the best bet because it is very non-intrusive and the Game Booster works well. It also silently upgrades itself, which is a big bonus. eScan is good for older folks/business computers. It has this "just works" functionality and protects well without interrupting the WORK of the user. It is butter smooth, and works very well on lower-spec computers. BitDefender is probably better for college students, it has a good autopilot feature which allows grad/college students to work without bothering too much about the alerts. It also has good web protection, and is reasonably light (2020 onwards). AVG, well, I use it on a couple of machines but I am on the verge of getting rid of it. It is a product for home use only, and you'd best not have mission-critical stuff on a computer that runs AVG. Bugs galore, and apparently AVG keeps messing with Citrix Workspace from time to time due to which it "loses" several essential files. However, it is the only product (along with Avast) that includes a VPN in a suite package at a reasonable price. And that VPN is pretty good too, so it is more suited for users who are doing a lot of web activities. While recommending AV products I have always looked at the intended use of the machine where it will be installed, and so far every target population with the appropriate AV has been satisfied. Personally, I prefer only BullGuard or eScan. [/QUOTE]
