[@gorgono1]

I know right? ESET used to be my favorite, since NOD-32 actually ... but nowadays, it is really bad. I've tested it for multiple weeks, even have two licenses on my two home PCs. But it performs very poorly. So I will be switching soon to something else.

[@njpme]

They need a RESET 😂

[@MTGeomancer]

Now need a part 3 with what I call the "Legacy" AV programs, the ones that use to be huge but now are pretty much only included for free pre-loaded onto machines since no one will buy them otherwise. Norton, McAfee, Avast, AVG. What I find most comical however is the comment section. People have a strange attachment to AV programs, and defend them like they're best friends or family. These are all corporations, they're not your friend, and you should absolutely switch if one doesn't currently perform well. You don't get any points for being "loyal" to an AV company, lol.

@@falcon_224 works well until you get a more sophisticated malware. There is a huge market for browser exploits, browser hijacks, session hacks, software exploits even RGB lighting exploitations, pdf malware and so much more that the built in Microsoft solutions won't stop, the benefits with Bitdefender is that they have so many layers of protection for each module, so it makes it more challenging to bypass. Bitdefender has the largest Signature database in the world, with over 500 million online devices connected across the world. Their developers also figured out that just stopping known signatures isn't enough but they also use a way to detect unknown threats by pattern recognition that runs in the cloud, a lot of malware is copied and modified, and just repacked, so when it recognizes the behavior from precious malware it can quickly stop it, even if it's undetected. I even tried my own sample and it just named it to a generic malware with a number next to it.
