    Looking for some Antivirus Advice


    I'd like to use a Free one before I decide if I'd like to pay for the Full Version.
    I'd like an Antivirus w/a good reputation, that can stop tracking cookies & pop-ups, somewhat fast but very thorough scans w/easy to read & understand results-that can also be copied to a notepad/printed & one that is very customizable.

    Avast: I've used this in the past & like that it can separately scan the memory, rootkits, auto-start programs, has boot-scans, etc. And that it has easy automatic & manual update routines.
    I don't like that it has full protection against dangerous URLs only in Chrome & Firefox. I use Vivaldi.

    These 2 I've never used before:
    Panda Dome: I like that it's light on system resources & has security news & alerts sections that shows critical, warning & informational messages.
    I don't like that it resets a browser's home page & default search engine if the user is not careful.

    TotalAV: I like that it has an Adware Cleaner & Anti-Ransomware.
    I don't like that it's Web Shield only works w/Firefox & Chrome. Again, I use Vivaldi.

    :)
     

  2. Good Antivirus + Firewall

    I would never put anything Norton on my computer.

    Nod32 is arguably the best antivirus. AVG is likely not as good, but it's free and at least pretty good.

    Firewalls, I'd put Comodo and whatever "Tiny Personal Firewall" is named nowadays on your short list. I think Kerio might have sold it now and it's named something else. Otherwise, just put Comodo on your short list. I think the current version's ease of use has taken a step backwards, seems a bit counter-intuitive when trying to do certain things with it, but overall it does a good job and the price is right.
