Windows 10: BEST Anti-Virus for Windows 10 Pro ??

Could you point out this supposedly good advice by ? I just don't believe it , would need some kind of proof if not too much trouble.

Ahh nevermind , thanks MM.

 

See page 112 of the KIS 2016 User Guide at http://docs.kaspersky-labs.com/engli...erguide_en.pdf which states 'limitations' under Windows 10.

I won't be upgrading to Windows 10 unless I can use a fully functional version of KIS 2016 under Windows 10. Kaspersky advised me a fully functional version should be available by the end of September but the documentation indicates this hasn't been released yet.

 

I`d simply recomend to go through review of best on the market, like from this site Best Antivirus Software Review 2015 - BestAdvisor You may need additional information before choosing the best one. As we know there is no the best one. I personally use Kaspersky but sometimes it`s overprotective.

 

I use Avast AIS 11.1.2236

 

I would say it really depends on how smart a computer user you are that will depend on what security to use. For some people who don't know a lot and what to avoid i tell them go with a security suite , others only need minimal protection.

 

I use Eset smart security but its not free

 

Kaspersky anti-virus software gets good reviews but do people have cyber security concerns about Kaspersky being a Russian based firm?

 

Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Premium...

 

Maybe if you had important stuff on your PC , i never keep anything important on mine .

 

After reading one of article for best antivirus for Windows 10, its obvious people start with Windows Defender as its auto enabled. The combination of Windows 10 antivirus with MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit can help you a lot.

 

hey, about babylon: if you are talking about the translation software that translates selected words when you hit CTRL+right mouse button, then good for Norton! Because it is not malware. It is a very useful program.
True, MBAM flags it as a potentially unwanted program, probably because it acts intrusively, as it gets inside Word and Adobe Reader and other programs as well (this is so you can do one-click translations).
But I can assure you that if you installed what I installed, it is a great piece of software that saves you a lot of time. I have been using it professionally (I am a translator) for about 10 years, now.

The AV that catches the most "viruses" is not necessarily the best one, because it may be presenting you with a lot of false positives.

 

But to answer your question, I use panda free for antivirus and antimalware protection, it is light and doesn't conflict with windows 10 pro, and gives excellent protection against malware etc. I have not found it to slow down my PC (although I am not a gamer, so I can't comment on that side of things). It just works.

I did not install their browser toolbar for web protection, though, because it does not get very good reviews. The best reviews for web protection that I saw (PCMag) are for Norton. You can install Norton Identity Safe as a free, stand-alone program. Even if you don't use the included password manager, it will give you great web protection, just let it install the necessary extensions in your browser (at least, that is how it works with Chrome).

 

One would think he is referring to this: Remove Babylon Toolbar (Removal Instructions)

 

Hi All,
I was using the Windows Defender product that comes built-into windows 10, it seemed to work ok..but as I'm the type of person who likes trying out new thing's ( I'm an 'active' Windows Insider that's using Windows 10 Pro. Build # 10576 ), I downloaded / installed this offering: 360 Total Security: Free Antivirus Protection | Virus Scan & Removal for Windows, Mac and Android
It seems to work pretty well, and it's a 'free' offering, the total security has a lot of nice feature's included with it, they do however offer just a anti-virus product that's free as well : http://www.360totalsecurity.com/en/f...ity-essential/
Has anyone else in here tried this offering..and if so, how are you liking it ?

I have used 360TS and 360SE (the cut down version)

pros of both:
strongest behavior blocking you can get in a free anti-virus (this is important for protection from ransomware)

runs light on system, is configurable.

cons of both:
you have to place your trust in the Qihoo company, which has a very poor reputation for honesty.

the malware signatures are good but not the best. The bitdefender and avira engines will update a day or two later than they do for real BD and Avira users.

advantage of the full program: you get the program updates much quicker
advantage of cut-down program: you are saved from the bloat of the full program, which is full of utilities that are of dubious quality.
