RE: What your thought on the Best Anti-Virus Program - Zador - 02-07-2019
I'd have to agree. Been using WD for about 2 years now. No problems so far.
It's pre-installed in WIN 10 so i didn't need to bother with setting it up. Doesn't have annoying popups like Avast or AVG or whatever.
It detected all of the viruses i threw at it so far.
Pretty impressive.

Avast's popups are annoying, but at the same time, quite hilarious.
I often get a popup of "Here's a gift for you" (or some variant). Upon opening It, It's a discount offer to one of their services. A "gift" does not require any form of payment- It's something that's given voluntarily.
Perhaps Avast should restructure their marketing In the correct context.

My favorite is when they say "Your internet traffic is being intercepted!" so you buy their VPN. Sadly, A lot of less tech savvy people actually fall for that.

Oh goodness me, I've lost count as to the number of times I've experienced that.
