I have a license for Bitdefender, Kaspersky, and NOD32, they are all very heavy on my system.
I tried Webroot SecureAnywhere, it was light as a feather, but had too many false positives...
so I kept researching on:
AV-Comparatives - Independent Tests of Anti-Virus Software - Real World Protection Test Overview
and:
AV-TEST - The Independent IT-Security Institute: Jan/Feb 2014
and noticed this Qihoo Internet Security's performance in the 2nd link and high detection rates + low FPs thanks to it using its own engine + cloud +bitdefender Engine..
So I tried it and in fact, it didn't catch any FPs from the stuff that I have and my system felt so much snappier...
I went ahead to purchase it...only to discover that it's FREE!!
I was shocked, because it has no bloat, no ads to upgrade, no toolbars while installing...sounds too good to be true for a free solution but what the heck!!
try it if you want:
360safe-home page
EDIT: nevermind, this thing is a beast of FPs!
I don't have IE installed so it detected that as a virus that several IE files are missing! !! I don't want IE! leave me the hell alone!
2) it detected my private internet access vpn as a virus
3) it detected MiniTool Partition Wizard as a virus!
How come noone talks about Qihoo Internet Security?
