The Last years it is better i mean. I don't feel that Norton use many resource. Only in Idle it made his work but it stop when You make anything on PC. I mean it's Not many more than Kaspersky which my Wife use.

I use Norton and Malwarebytes, how do you live without a 3rd party firewall? Window's is mind-bendingly bad. lol

Panda? It's like using wet tissue as a bulletproof vest.
I use Kaspersky. Expensive as fuck, although I managed to find it on sale at a local reseller, so got a 2-year subscription for 70 Euro or something. What I like in it is that even when I use my PC underclocked to 1.2 GHz (i5-6600K), it doesn't show up in the 10 most demanding processes… in idle state. Of course you can say that since it is fully Russian, it most likely has backdoors up the ass put there by the FSB, but the added bonus is that Russian hackers do much better jobs than Murican ones at the NSA, so lesser chance of some random 10-year-old script kiddie taking over your computer through the security software. =D
I'd say BitDefender if you want to be more economic. Constantly second best for years, lightweight, and usually has 30% coupons or sales on one of its sites.
If you can find a coupon somewhere, Norton can be cheap too. Has a great impact on boot speed, but otherwise small and very comfortable to use.

ESET? The company whose "security tips" consist of pointing out 3-month-old facebook scams and haven't found a single virus on their own since 2012? The only reason to have an ESET product on your computer is when you get free codes for it, because at least it is better than nothing.

It's not a link, it was the last time I saw any kind of report where the ESET labs were credited as the source of people who identified the new threat. Nowadays it is mostly Kaspersky, sometimes Norton,maybe McAffee (which, by the way, stopped being the shittiest piece of software a few years back, to my greatest surprise).

I use malwarebytes and avast, just the free versions and haven't had any problems. The premium version of malwarebytes is much better though

+1 from me as well, just those two together are just great for me.

I don't use any antivirus myself because i know what to look for and don't download stuff from not trustworthy sources.
And if i get a virus that i can't get rid of myself i just reinstall everything on my SSD (Pretty much just windows takes like 10 minutes so)
Norton blocks pretty much everything this is for complete noobs that click on the links u get from random steam invites.
The other antivirus are pretty much all the same and comparing them is near to impossible because it all comes down when they got updated if one is updated 2 hours ago its better then one that got updated 1 day ago for example.

For 2 weeks now I'm getting pop-ups from Panda internet security 2016 telling me my license is going to expire in few weeks. Before I met my wife I never used antivirus but she always ended up killing the computers so I started buying them. I haven't had any problems with panda. I searched the discussions first but newest I could find was commented 7 months ago, maybe there are newer things I missed.
The question is simple is it worth paying for antivirus/security suites or go with the free ones. And which one are you using or do you recommend?
Thanks!
