I prefer Kaspersky too. Total security for 5 systems for $20-$25 for a year isn't a bad deal.

Malwarebytes isn't trash though. I've had some issues with some protection turning off at times and went full Kaspersky due to not wanting to deal with it. I preferred it as an Anti-Malware programs rather then the AV program it has become.

I have two life times licenses for Malwarebytes, from before they changed to a subscription model. Still holding on to them in case I ever need them.

Windows defender+common sense is enough, only get MalwareBytes when you absolutely need a second scan

ive never used windows defender but have heard its improved a lot over the years, is it actually that good now a days that it can compete with the best ones?

I tend to prefer cloud scanners. It's fast, simple and doesn't take resources from your PC to do. I used to have a cloud scanner that had 64 antivirus engines tied to it (seriously, no way anything went unnoticed) but unfortunately that project died. Now I'm hoping that there will be a new cloud scanner someday with multiple engines (preferably 20+).

Now if you wanna know something awful we did have a PC in the computer room many years ago that had McAfee on it. That particular PC ran like molasses in an igloo and would constantly freeze and lock up. My dad later decided to switch to Norton which was probably around the time it still had a bad rep. Meh. Oh well.

I remember the bad old days where Norton and McAfee were both basically malware themselves, and to remove them, you needed a sledgehammer, and industrial metal shredder, and a 2000 degree kiln to melt the bits down to slag. That was the only way to get rid of the program entirely.

I haven't used a Norton or McAfee product since those days. They ruined their names forever after the 2000s.

Avast is the best Anti-Virus imo, been using it for 8 years and it never disappointed.

I've been using paid Malwarebytes for a couple of years now. No problems.

Yes, it's very good now. The days of having to pay for decent protection are long over.

I'm assuming you didn't hear about that personal data selling scandal...

Don't care as long as it doesn't harm me, besides. What software these days don't sell data?

What? Malwarebytes is one of the best programms out there. Each time a new version is out, it even offers me a free premium trial for some days, with live protection and all that. Even in free mode, it is still quite decent and the scans are great; not once they hit a useful file and it saved my system quite a few times already. The pop-ups are few and rare. Besides, the game is usually paused, during clicking the X button of the window for it to close.

Let it run its scan.

Keep it 1, maybe 2 days.

Uninstall and remove registry entries until next time I need to run a scan.

^This.

some viruses or mallware block downloads so i'm not gonna do that. too dangerous.
