I get asked about antivirus software quite a bit. I don’t like any of them. I have recommended Malwarebytes in the past, and I still like it. However, times change, and in the world of computers, they change even faster. I have found some AV software can slow a computer to a crawl. That seems unacceptable to me. It doesn’t matter how good the software is, if it prevents you from using your computer. Typically, AV software can slow down a computer that is a lower end or older model without many resources. That’s just the way it is.
I was hesitant to recommend Kaspersky’s because of recent allegations of a tie with the Russian government. Apparently though, these allegations are not proven, so I will withhold judgement for now, as perPCMag. I found a very decent article from PCMag rating some popular AV programs and found the reviews pretty thorough. The individual products are scored near the bottom of the article, with a further Editor’s Review to read, if you are interested. The main article is HERE. I trust PCMag, so that’s why I appreciate their reviews. You can’t just Google reviews and believe what comes up, you really need to go to a trustworthy site with people paid to investigate and compare. PCMag is a great source for that sort of thing.
