Hello everyone,

I would like you ask you to compare between ZAL with Pandora vs KIS 2017 (tweaked a bit)
I'm using Kaspersky now but I really care about my laptop performance and battery life. I have an old gaming laptop so the battery life is not good: 2-3.5hrs maximum even with everything disabled and highly tweaked

KIS is quite light but it has high memory usage and slows down copy speed at least 2-3 times as I noticed for years. A user said it also decreases laptop battery life, I can't confirm it

Can Zemana AL be used as a primary AV? Is it risky because sometimes I have to work without internet connection. I heard zemana would be blind without the internet

What do you think about about avast IS with fully tweaked settings? Is it comparable with slightly tweaked KIS. When I had a chance to use avast IS a month a go, it was very very light but it slows down my boot speed compared to KIS (easily noticed without a stopwatch)

Thank you so much :)

Personaly I don't understand why you are comparing ZAL with the others I would personally use it alongside either Avast or Kaspersky. Currently I am using Avast and ZAL due to the lack of money I have for Kaspersky.

Fist of all, you should not compere between online & off line protection .
________________________________________________________________
I think you are taking about me :) , exactly like me .

_ A month ago after update to latest windows update , I give a try to W.Defender(off-line protection) + ZAL(online protection) only.
* In fact I test WD in many malware and I find that it do V.good result NOT excellent :\ (good choice for normal user) just add Anti-Exploit Premium - Premium Zero-Day Exploit Protection FREE .
( Windows Defender getting better and better those days)

_ After that I install my favorite protection KIS 2017 , which is become more lighter than version 2016 , and install ZAL too.

_ But I use KIS 2017 as a real time protection & ZAL(on demand scanning only )

_____________________________________________________________________________

If you are normal user (browse trusted URL, watch videos, download file from trusted site, not malware tester, .....etc)
you only need WD + ZAL and please install Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit to protect all your Browsers Anti-Exploit Premium - Premium Zero-Day Exploit Protection

If you are as above, I strongly suggest KIS 2017 for you .

Latest, about Avast, no way avast is lighter than KIS 2017 BUT less in features & protection.

There should be a rule that OP's have to compare products in the same classes, I have seen a lot of this lately.
It makes a large amount of clutter that mods have to clean up.
**No offense Rain I know you didn't mean to brother.
