![]() I believe Windows Defender has gotten quite a bit better, and it honestly is probably the best free AV solution at this point. I was using AVG, and Windows Defender, as well as Pandasoft at some point on the PC's that were so completely screwed that it was less stressful to just abandon them and get a new computer.īut after 10 years plus with Bitdefender, I haven't had any issues. Now that may just sound like a rock that keeps away tigers. It's hard to prove that I would've been infected if I hadn't had Bitdefender, but after losing two PC's pretty much completely to what I assume were rootkits, in addition to malware and viruses in the 2000's, I didn't want to take any chances. So far, no issues with viruses, malware, or anything whatsoever. I am a likeminded individual.īut yeah, I've been using Bitdefender for over a decade, across two different PC's, my laptop, and I had some extra licenses throughout so I've put it on my Mom's laptops and her PC. It's saved my bacon on numerous occasions.Īh, I see you're a man of exquisite tastes Mr. Most of these are easy to spot and unsophisticated but they take advantage of people's lack of knowledge. Passable av software is important but honestly most security threats people bring on themselves going to dodgy sites and falling for scams. I got into Windows eventually to find mcaffee using 75% of an i7 cpu. It was performing so bad i thought the hard drive was grinding itself into powder. Worst case of resource hogging security software i ever saw was mcaffee on an i7 laptop 5 or 6 years ago. Sometimes requiring the use of dedicated removal tools. ![]() Both of those i can also vouch are usually bigger resource hogs and more prone to causing performance and other technical problems. It was certainly above the other big two free ones Avast and AVG. Now such scores are never definitive for obvious reasons but it is none the less impressive. The last independent test I saw about a year ago, Windows Defender scored 100%. Someone once described Windows Defender as using a chain-link fence to protect yourself from a swarm of angry wasps .
