Malewarebytes or bitdefender?

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

So i already asked once which anti virus products would you recommend. Since my norton license runs out soon my choice would be either bitdefender or malwarebytes in combination with win defender. Which of the two would be better?
Please no just windows defender comments

I've never really run into issues with false positives except for the one or two offs that i just needed to add an exception for.

With which one? Norton is cancer in that regard. Malewarebytes is also much lighter that’s why i switched as well. I basically grew up with norton but it seems right now or for some years now it’s not the best anti virus anymore. In America they also included crypto stuff which is horrific

Considering that would violate several laws in America, please provide a citation to prove they did that.
Because literally that company would be metaphorically, and possibly literally a smoldering crater in the ground if they did that in America.

Make the research for yourself im not your dad. Just enter crypto and norton. Even Linus did a video about this

So you are not using it anymore?

It depends how relaxed or more controlled with features you want to go...

I would suggest Bitdefender is the better option, as it covers more. Malwarebytes is a decent antivirus for beginners or those that don't want to control the rest. Bitdefender will give you a lot more features outside of just being an antivirus.

Bitdefender offers you Anti-virus, Web Protection, Ad Blocker, Secure Web-browsing for safe banking, Webcam and Microphone usage detection, System optimization tools, Vulnerability checker, Personal data leak check, Wifi protection, optional VPN, Firewall, Ransomware roll back, File shredder, password manager, and parental controls.

Malwarebytes offers just Anti-virus, Web Protection, Ad Blocker, Ransomware roll back, and optional VPN.

The VPN for Malwarebytes would be better, but apart from that, you get equal or better virus detection as well as more features from using Bitdefender. Likely a cheaper price tag too. Malwarebytes will however run more in the background and out of your way, depending what you like.

I must defend malewarebytes there. I’m using it for years now and it has way more features than you describe. It also has live protection and all that good stuff. Malewarebytes combines all threads under one umbrella which is a great thing and it’s getting better and better. Bitdefender is great as well but if you want something which is very light but still effective malewarebytes is the way to go but in the end you can’t go wrong either way.

Alright, I'll agree with you there. Don't get me wrong, they are both good security products.

Everything is probably better than Norton which hurts in some way

If that was true, there would be no more Norton period.
It would be dead and gone.
No one would ever use it again. They'd be sued into oblivion.
There would literally be nothing left of the company.
Breaking the law does not make a company exist much longer.

I'll do the research later, but do understand in the future, you have to provide evidence of any claim you make, or you instantly must redact it.

No i don’t need to proof anything. Many people also know that by now and why should i lie? I used norton for lets say decades. I would insta deinstalled it if this would be a thing in Europe as well

Because literally the company would no longer exist. PERIOD.
How are you not getting that?!?!?!

Any company doing that would be destroyed. Utterly and completely.
Ruined. Obliterated. Annihilated.

The fact that Norton still exists and is used by people makes your statement impossible.
Because it goes directly against how the real world functions.

No company would survive doing that. At all.
Heck, the people behind that company might even have them bringing back Burning at the Stake for them!

UGh.
I'm out.

Okay you are defiently trolling now well bye

Norton did in deed include a crypto miner with the 360 suite BUT it is still an opt in feature that you have to choose to use.
