I even procrastinate with Windows updates, sometimes months at a time, and still haven’t gotten infected… yet. I’ve never felt the need beyond that, and I’ve never gotten infected (that I am aware of) in these last 3 years. Yeah…if MS defender is good enough for you, then I would avoid third party AVs, they are very intrusive.įor the last 3 years I’ve just been simply doing this with the following free items:Ģ) Run a scan every couple of days with Malware bytes Panda has the toolbar which redirects 404s to its yahoo sponsored search. AVG flat out tells they are tracking your web history and is selling it to third parties. Avast definitely does either through its browser extensions or its “community participation” option that is on by default, its ads can be creepy too in the forums people were complaining about Avast showing VPN ad pop up right when the users visited an adult site. Most of the other free AV do snoop on you though regardless. Others have less intrusive ways to hook into your system, but the technical discussion is beyond me. I think that is a really bad idea and I would definitely disable any AV that tried that. Some AVs insert their own certificates as root and that’s how they scan SSL traffic. SSL traffic is becoming the most vulnerable attack vectors for browsers, and some browser makers like Mozilla actually want to do away with regular http and have the web exclusively use https in the name of privacy. A lot of technical information and there is the question about trust.
On the google translated post says they wouldn’t and they would introduce the product to other markets.Īs with ssl scanning or web scanners I have questions about them too. It could be potential replacement for MS Defender, if you’re willing to jump thru hoops and disable extra “protections”. But i haven’t tested this one on slow machines yet. In my experience, Kaspersky products were somewhat sluggish.

On the plus side, i didn’t notice any performance hit. And of course there’s no option to delete root cert from Windows’ repository, except for doing it manually. But simply turning “WEB AV” off didn’t stop MitM, i had to get into advanced/network setting and turn off “inject controlling script” and switch to “Don’t check encrypted connections”. Although the options to disable the hooks are present in the settings. I suppose they could monetize your internet history. That’s marketing decision of course.Īlso from the “con” column is inclusion of WEB and IM traffic sniffers (check your certificate store after uninstall in case it “forgot” to remove its root cert). I didn’t even entertain the though that KAV wouldn’t have any other languages available.

All the extra stuff like password managers, system optimizers are of questionable utility. It is to the point where I would prefer barebones AV version to the more expensive suites if they are provided.

Even then I rarely bother, those full suites are often invasive, and I try to only use their base components, things that actually defend from malware. In my opinion, the only really acceptable AV with good protection and mostly ad less is panda free, which has an optional toolbar that can be uninstalled very easily or not at all if you uncheck it during installation and has few or no pop ups as far I have seen.īesides, it is actually quite easy to access paid AVs, there are many free after rebate offers, ISP provided licenses, and giveaways like Bitdefenders 6 months giveaway.

Bitdefender free hasn’t been updated forever, and supposedly it has issues running on Windows 10 machines as a result.

Avira has pop ups, and its segregates its free users to very slow update servers. Avast Free has unavoidable ads unless you put in gamemode which kills all notifications including unfortunately virus alerts. The freemium AV model lately has been pretty bad as you said. Definitely looking forward to what they put out.
