UPDATE: Bitdefender has discontinued their free edition... If you have Windows 10/11 and you're a low risk user, Microsoft Defender should be all that you need. Otherwise, you'll be better protected using another program mentioned in this video... Thanks for watching :)
Norton. On my Laptop, my Samsung and my iPad Pro.
Common sense 2020
Malware Bytes!
Thank you bro truly helpful!!!
AVG premium edition
Thank you very much! I was literally at the verge of reformatting my 5 yr old MacBook Pro.
Thanks for showing these!
thank you for revealing that there are free antivirus softwares thank you bro!!
Thank you so much for sharing the expertise!
Great info. Thank you for this video!
Thank you! Thumbs-up and keep up! I liked your video, and it matched google feed resulted. Thanks again!
AVG is owned by Avast, and their engines have been merged, so they're basically the same product with a different user interface.
so avast and AVG is the same then?
@@fellyjuvenciaa yes, they are the exact same product except the interface.
Which one do you think has the better interface?
@@NR-nf1il avast but I don't use either of them because they're almost spyware at this point.
I tried to uninstall avast last week. When I restarted my PC windows entered automatic repair and it didn't fix it. It literally broke windows by uninstalling the antivirus. Luckily I had created a restore point beforehand and the second time went without issues. Fuck Avast.
Thank you man, needed this
You windows ? You use antivirus what? Sharing is caring
great video as always!!!
I just subscribed....love your videos and your voice. Keep it up!
Explained in great detail! Thank you so much!!
Excellent presentation thanks
I ditched paid AVG a couple of years ago for Windows Defender + free Malwarebytes and haven't looked back. No infections beyond the occasional PUP that either or both found and no regrets.
Yes these free antiviruses are really good, I have also used it
this was soo help full while my PC was 80% affected by malware.. thank u sir
I use avira free. I switched to it after trying avast, because avast had an huge inpact on my cpu. With avira my cpu isn't running that heavy anymore
bitdefender can be decent but if you're on a budget pc, it chugs ram at 500 megabytes. Also, while it may have the same antivirus/malware protection as bitdefender's other products, it does not include features such as ransomware protection or other useful tools that you can adjust for in other programs
my preferred option at the moment is Avast with the option Hardened Mode enabled. In previous editions, this meant that the program would not allow something to run unless it was already approved in some manner, but even with this method, always practice good computer safety habits and safe browsing
Really appreciate this vid, thanks!!
Win 10. I've been using Avast for many years. Very satisfied with it. Thanks for your work.
Mel Weiss avast makes your computer system slow
I've been using Avira for maybe close to a decade, quite satisfied, will occasionally ponder trying Avast, and now after seeing this will consider BitDefender as well, but don't really see bothering with actually changing something that works fine and is causing no problems. As long as your using any of the featured programs you're gonna be fine. And I have Malwarebytes as a supplement. I think equally if not more important is to not use the internet from an account on your computer with admin permissions.
I've been using Avira for several years as well, works great and they don't bother me constantly with popups like many do.
AVG works for me but wish I could schedule full scans instead of having to take time to do it myself. Thanks for your video and information.
You can schedule. Open AVG and push the ... button. There you can schedule scans
very informative!!
Great video. Should include weblinks as part of your youtube video and use those affiliation weblinks to make some money.
I'm using 360 Total Security for years now. Quite loving it. The FREE version is good enough for normal user. I like the Junk Clean Up Option very much! 😍
you also like your personal info going to Chinese servers... just go though its privacy policy.
@@zameertheone6555 LOL.
Me: *I got virus*
Also me: *FaCtoRy ReSet*
Virus: *Im joke to you?*
@@jumanjosh8082 factory reset always remove everything lol
🤣🤣
sometimes it wont work, after reset it will say no change were made, and the virus like “LOOK AT ME IM THE CAPITAN NOW”
@@Adamsfl wow same
@@Adamsfl or ''your computer failed to reset''
Thank you my mouse was moving it got me scared that i was and had been hacked so i looked for videos and you helped me! again thank you.
Used a lot 360 protection, then they updated to collect data. Not sure for how long, or if it was always like this, but a deal breaker for me. I've been trying Bit then, thanks!
thnx dude for the nice video .... i use avira for long time and then moved to MSE somehow i felt better with it ... then with the win7 retirement including support for mse i think i got back to avira (tbh i hate the new stuff that had been added to avira and i uninstall them after every clean installation) ... am gonna try your suggestions ... thnx again
Excellent and helpful,
Informative content.
Thanks
Thank you, it works perfect!
thanks my computer has many problem you have solved thanks lots of love from nepal
I like avast as its an aggressive AV with many layers of protection. even my computer software classes from school used avast paired with malwarebytes to teach us about threats online.
avast sucks :)
@@CallmeInspi ok
@@mirroredchaos im sorry is just i hate avast is like O BRO I GOT UR IP BRO BRO THERES THINGS SLOWING DOWN UR PC AND U CANT SMART SCAN CUS U NEED TO PAY btw its slowing down ur pc to
@@CallmeInspi I know, some time after my comment I got annoyed by the constant messages to tell me to upgrade, when I got a gaming pc I didnt really need avast anymore anyway because I know what to look for and what to avoid. its got good security lets not deny that, but its not worth the hassle.
@@mirroredchaos its pretty decent beacuse i couldnt scanned smart scan
Great video as always
Thanks for sharing :-)
thank you so much
keep it up
Nice video
1:23 Avira....
Avira... (Deep Voice--->Yeahhhh...
My heart's on fire... For Avira...
I used AVG for years but it slowed down my old laptop so I deleted it and use Defender now. No problems so far.
how do you use defender?where can i find it?
I've been using avira for a few years now but had to uninstall it on my laptop. I don't use my laptop that much so it would often miss its scheduled scans. The next time you boot the laptop it runs a scan, but when it's done with the first scan it runs again. My theory is that it had to run for each scan that it missed. Which meant that when I was using the laptop it was constantly scanning, which had a massive impact on performance. On a low powered laptop it really is a no go.
thank you for sharing
beforehand i used Norton but now i decided to move on to Avast because Norton's renewal is too expensive in my country
I used Avast in 5 PSs for years despite its quite annoying ads. However, I finally got enoigh! Now, I am a happy user of Panda Dome VPS. Recommended!
Thanks you may use Kaspersky or f secure
thank you very help full info
thx bro this helped me alot!
I hope one day you could include eset and kaspersky labs
Don't forget f secure corporation
Karspersky is paid
windows defender is the best for me ever since v1903 was release
You should make a video about the best free firewalls.
I recommend using the same company as your Antivirus, you don't want to have any software conflicts. I've used Norton, Avast and AVG Internet Security, you may need to do some configuring and for some users, this may be over their head. With a little research, you'll find out what you need to do.
Congs man, really an amazing channel where I found some gems. Mario Delio from Brazil!
Where is Congs man, i cannot find it anywhere, Could please put a url to find it?
I been using Kaspersky for a long time.It has 100 percent detection rate in all av tests and it has one of the lowest performance impact on the computer according av lab tests
The Russians were spying with it a few years ago and it caused an uproar.
THANK YOU for educating us with this. Antivirus protection has been a pain in my neck for a long time now and you made it very clear which softwares do what and can be trusted. VERY much appreciated.
yes! my McAfee free trial ended, and I saw how bad ratings it got. I'm glad there's good and free, antivirus protection.
@Nixxious what anti do u used
Number 2 total av
4 hp window 7 i just intall yesterday for my old hp cumputer work great is free.
thx man for the antivirus it helped me get rid of the trojan virus
I only used Malware Bytes. I've since reformatted the machine and so may add Bitdefender since it out ranks Avast.
malware bytes is a very good program.
I use mcafee and its pretty useless
I have seen so many computers with this product installed, all badly infected so you are right, free AV software mentioned here is so much better.
McAfee and Norton are the worst AV ever and you would think that they have been around long, so they would improve there product, nope! Rubbish ...
@@jrmoodi3 Very true, i had McAfee on my first laptop, removed it after about 3 months put AVG free on, found 3 trojans.
@@alanjipy55 I pays to experiment with Antivirus apps to see which is best. What is #1 this year may be #10 next year. Norton and McAfee used to be the #1 Antivirus apps years ago, now they are Resource Hogs. If you're using a Laptop, that's unacceptable.
@@bobjohnson5934 Actually McAfee has always been a resource hog and both have never been any good.
Iv'e always used AVG free since my first laptop, about 15 years ago, still works today but has a broken screen.
Ths laptop i'm on now is about 4 yld cant even tell AVG is running in the back-ground.
On win 8 I have Malwarebytes and Avast on my win 10 computer, I have Symantec which I pay for it. It is the business Edition and it's only $28 for the year.
Hey techgumbo, How's the K7 Total security Antivirus.
On my laptop, I only use Windows Defender.
On my PC, I use Defender and (paid) AVG. My father had bought it and keeps on paying mainly because everyone else is not very smart on what is safe.
Heartsalot If you have AVG installed then Windows Defender is Disabled by Default. AVG has a great Antivirus program, keep it.
Nice thx so much
Guys im having a problem with BitDefender
Whenever i try to scan it cant it says something error and when im trying to reinstall it still cant any help pls?
I have the Avast Free Antivirus. thanks for your information..
Delete it
@@ayanb1181 why?
just installed bitdefender hope it works. thanks!
hows it going
i used avg on my old pc now im watching this for my new pc
Thank you
I use Avast, which is fine, but they annoy me when trying to get me to buy other things they have for protection.
Are you on Windows 10??
Acim 009 No, Windows 7
Right, and when they keep telling me how many issues in so many lists are slowing down my PC, even when it's running faster than I can keep up!
Avast had a history of Collecting Browser History, that's why I'm going to use any antivirus except for Avast
Recommendation?
@@douglaswhite1879 yes 😂 running better then before when it shows your pc is slow xD
As a previous cybersecurity guy Sophos home is soooo dope. The best there is especially if you have a family. Lots of control even its thebfree version.
The only lapse is that controls need to be done in the cloud.
thank u sooo much now i can play my games without problems
Personnaly, i do not have an antivirus but i use deep freeze (a reboot to restore program)
SuperAntiSpyWare Free Edition. Any issues with that one?
Just switched to AVG, next time I'll check here first.
How’s it going
avast always used to kick system interrupts to 100% same w cpu usage. anybody know why
I downloaded Sopho Home it looks like its a really cool antivirus
I have AVG anti-virus and verry happy with it.
Some time I upgrade.
Any how thanks for the video information.
Sir this video did not mention Kaspersky or f secure antivirus
Same here, if you think you might have a virus or malware run a DEEP SCAN because my computer had malware 😵😵😵 DONT run a smart scan you want a deep scan
I use AVG it's really good 😊
K Ik m not sure if I’ve got a virus but whenever I try to allow the windows defender it doesnt go through
Good info
Fun fact: Some antivirus companies MAKE virus to earn money.
😂
what's crazy i got hacked and all my anti virus don't help do nothing
You are right because the companies make viruses to earn money . Thats a virus that comes in your computer so you will go to the company for checking your computer then company will check your computer then you will give money to the company.Fun fact : This is buisness
which ones though
I use Kaspersky Security Cloud
Anyone know a good antivirus software with minimal impact offers good protection since I have a gaming PC and don’t want to sap too much performance?
I would do full scans with windows defender getting the green light,but when I installed Malwarebytes and It detected 80 different malware and trojans . I really dont recommend relying on what Windows has to offer
I download a lot of mods for most of my computer games and once in a while I run a smart scan little did I know all this time I should have been running DEEP SCAN because I just ran one and it found malware but it was a google chrome extension now I don’t know what to do, it says moved to quarantine so I guess that’s good btw I am using AVG AntiVirus Free, it’s pretty good, I’d get it if I were you
Find the way where the malware has been installed and try to remove it by ur self
Recommendation for windows 7? might try Bitdefender....i also have laptop windows 10 using windows defender
thanks buddy
I've got ESET smart security, paid version, i used to have NOD32, but that didn't protect very well + it was free, so is "smart" better?
It ticks more boxes, also I'm not very savvy about the whole thing? Cheers, from Australia 👍
Why ?
I hated using ESET - absolutely hated it. And it screwed with my outlook. Even after I uninstalled it, it was hanging around giving me error messages that I could not get rid of no matter how I tried. That's garbage. If I uninstall something, then I want it GONE - not lingering around and annoying me. I would never give them another penny over that.
What about Kaspersky? Not in list feel power 💪
I wouldn’t want to install it, it only has a free 30 day trial
Cleaner is fine,; including windows defender just make sure to change your passwords on your accounts frequently.
Very Nice 😘
Bitdefender+ malwarebytes...
Gonna try
And? How is it
@@retrospectgaming8754 malware bytes is working great
But bitdefender installation failed almost 5 times IDK why
It wasted my 2-3gb data
I use IObit and Bitdefender
Could you please told me what is the best one for windows server against ransomware?
On installing avast and bitdefender both are giving error
First,i tried bitdefender it causes error after that i tried avast that alsi causing error what can i do now plz help me
Kaspersky Security Cloud Free or Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition are the best option.
are u sure
@@hungerdagger23 No but they are better than thec build in from Microsoft
Can i get both or to get bitdefender with Malwarebytes ??
@@jerryk7862 plz reply
@@TeraChad0 yes
I just use windows defender and keep it up to date it's safe
Until something serious happens
thank you had a vris on my computer
I agree, bitdefender is definitely the best antivirus
I was using Norton but they're too expensive for my budget
Can you say something about Kaspersky or f secure
AVG was cool, until it forced a restart during an 50k gaming tournament and disqualified me, kind of why I'm here now
What game were you playing?
aw
Aw I know it doesn't mean much, but I'm sorry.
Jeez, rip man youll get it next time.
@Based Jew ok
I would honestly use windows defender as my sole protection but im still have the 'protection history' crash. It doesn't matter what I do i can't get it to stay open and work and show me the history. On top that it sees normal .exe's as threats. WinVer 1909 with Intel rapid storage technology
thx, avast is my favourite antivirus
Yes it's awesome
Me too, I dont facing any problems with it, ads? Offers? None of that happen, my avast shield all active
I use Eset NOD32 antivirus on my PC, it is good for PC with low specs and the antivirus is good as long as I use
@Dex4Sure I agree with you
This was a helpful and insightful videeooo. Now back to the regularly scheduled prograammmm
