• anti-virus choice

    From Floris van Unen@954:31/1 to All on Wednesday, July 08, 2026 11:08:28
    Hello everybody!

    i'm contemplating to change from Norton Security Deluxe to Malwarebytes Premium, as i understood they won awards last year?
    I'm not going to use VPN functionality as i have that already sorted, also i'm already using a password manager. So the main focus is on anti-virus/anti-malware on win/mac/android.

    Your thoughts?

    Thanks,
    Floris

    I love the real-time protection I get with Malwarebytes. I know that any antivirus suite
    are just memory hogs. I only use Malwarebytes and Windows Defender and I have never had any infections on any of my computers.

    Personally, I don't use commercial anti-virus programs. I find Windows 10/11 security measures quite adequate for everyday use.
