Leaving aside the valuable politics concern, I honestly love Kaspersky, it's the only AV that doesn't suck or become too spammy. Which alternative would you recommend? Please don't say Norton
- mathisdiego 2y agoESET is pretty good. Has a low false positive rate too which I loved about Kaspersky.
- PenguinCoder 2y agoESET has my recommendations for the same reason. Really good and way more light weight than many other solutions. Though I'd say anything more than Windows Defender for home users really isn't needed.
- eviks 2y agoDefender is slow, that affects all home users
- LeoPanthera 2y agoI put Sophos on my relatives computers, because it can be remotely managed from a web page.
- jmprspret 2y agoFrom an enterprise perspective (only because I don't use it on my personal machines), TrendMicro has really been improving. I highly recommend it.
- TaylorAlexander 2y agoUbuntu
- cheema33 2y agoI use the free Microsoft Defender that comes with the OS. Why isn't this being recommended here? Is there something super wrong with it?
- eviks 2y agoIt's slow and was very bad for a long time, so some of that bad reputation lingers, maybe?
- ranger_danger 2y agoHow is it slow? I've never noticed a difference with or without it enabled.
- eviks 2y agoSlows down various file operations (download, copy, archive, build, etc) and has a high CPU utilization doing that E.g. see this test from a few years ago https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/performance-test-october-2020/ https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/performance-test-octob... Though it seems they've improved recently and are average now in more recent tests
- SanjayMehta 2y agoThe company I used to work for switched to Microsoft’s solution (Defender?) when it came out, to save on governmental interference and money. As a user I couldn’t really see any difference.
