Windows 10: KIS Total v Defender

My Kaspersky Total Security 2019 runs out end May but they want nearly double what I paid last time, so shopping around.

I know everyone has preferences but what I am looking at is Effectiveness/Price/Users. Those that I have looked at are comparable in price to KIS, and some more expensive. On principle I want to tell Kaspersky to go away. McAfee gives multi user licence but at a cost of approx £89 a year; Kaspersky want £120 approx for 2 years. which is almost double what I paid 2 years ago.

Final point: just how good is Microsoft Defender?

Samsung KIES v Windows Defender

I tried to install Samsung KIES onto my laptop, but Windows Defender blocked it. How do I get around this, please? I need KIES for my Samsung Galaxy s2 mobile phone.

 

Samsung KIES v Windows Defender

Hi James, please try this:

Controlled folder access is going to be a great feature in Windows 10 in the battle against malware like CryptoLocker . . . etc.

Open Windows Defender Security Center

Go to Virus & threat protection - Virus & threat protection settings

Scroll down to Controlled folder access

From there, you can add an app (KIES) to the list of safe or allowed apps to prevent them from being blocked

 

KIS 2009 and gaming issue

KIS is one of the best suite available. Conflicting programs might be added into exclusion list. I am proud to be a Kaspersky user!!!
