My recommendations for antivirus - PYA - 05-22-2022
I've been a pentester for quite a while, and I can tell you over the years. I've noticed which ones seem to do it, and which ones dont.
IMO here are my best free/paid picks
Free:
Avast is my number one pick over the years they've done well
Second is avira they're very, very efficient at detecting threats.
Panda cloud is great if you have low end hardware and need something cloud based.
Paid:
ESET NOD32 is a godsend, and my overall favorite. They have a track record of detecting threats before most other av's and are an industry leader.
BitDefender has always been a namestay for me, and their premium brand is worth it, before the discontinuation of their free antivirus they were a top contender for best AV

Moved from Software & Programs to Antivirus & Protection.
Quote:Avast is my number one pick over the years^ Same here.
Norton Is my second choice. Long gone are the days of the bloated Norton SystemWorks. Nowadays It's very light on system resources, and It's overall detection rate Is quite Impressive.

In terms of a free antivirus, Avast provides a lot of features that come with paid versions of other AVs.

Yeah it's cool bro. Got a clean interface, free VPN, the scan speeds are quick, severs the connection to malicious sites automatically, no annoying pop ups telling me to buy the premium service. Overall I'd say it's kinda the best user experience I'd had with a free antivirus.
