Vistapocalypse Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Windows 10 and 11 users can and IMO should simply use Microsoft’s built-in antivirus protection. (No, I’m not the “Kaspersky salesman” as you-know-who likes to insinuate. If MSE was still an option for XP, then there wouldn’t be any Windows XP antivirus thread at all.) Of course every other antivirus product is struggling for a share of the Windows 10/11 pie, but the going is tough - which is why there have been so many mergers in recent years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekkaman Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) The disadvantage of MSE is that it depends on Windows updates to get the definitions. There are certain computers that can't get updated. Like those HP stream laptops with 32GB of space. I have tried Kaspersky and 360 Security. Both are light. But you get more ads with 360 Security. I forgot to say that I tried the new Zone Alarm in one of the computers in the office and it was very light but as soon as I installed it I had problems with network printers. They wouldn't work. Tried playing with the settings but there's not much to configure in the new Zone Alarm so I gave up on it. But if you don't have network printers it's alright. It's very light as well.

HarryTri Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) There are also the well known Avast, AVG and TotalAV, with their free versions. Edited September 6, 2023 by HarryTri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
