Searching for an AV with effective performance.
Searching for an AV with effective performance.
You occasionally rely on Malwarebytes, preferring it over traditional antivirus software. Since Windows Defender comes built in, you might consider that option instead.
avast/malwarebytes stands out as the top choice, though norton and macafee aren’t the best. Both can slow your system, so go with windows defender instead.
norton offers strong protection but comes with some trade-offs: it can slow down your system noticeably, generate false alarms, and removing it is quite difficult. (though others claim otherwise after trying it)
I mainly rely on Windows Defender with minimal notifications, and Malwarebytes for scans. I consider antivirus software annoying and too intrusive.
