[QUOTE="videogamer1500, post: 883465, member: 79127"] Yes, you are speaking the truth here. Many times these testing sites even debunk themselves by releasing different tests which shows different results. Also let's not forget that for several years, websites like Top Ten Reviews were paid by Bitdefender to always be #1 at all times despite many times where you can argue that they are not #1. For me I do not think it is worth sacraficing 300+mb of my ram for protection that I will not need because I do not torrent, download p o r n, or do things that would compromise my computer. An antivirus is not going to prevent DDos attacks like a vpn does. My stratigy is to use a browser extension like Bitdefender traffic light, adguard, or a program like Web of Trust to browse the internet and have a backup antimalware scanner like Malwarebytes, Emisoft Emergency Kit, or Hitman Pro to scan my files once a week or once a month to make sure I am fine.
