Antivirus and Log4OM

Post by CT1BXX »

Hi,

I use Kaspersky, but soon I will have to renew the license.
I'm thinking of changing antvirus, can you give me suggestions from your experience, keeping in mind a good interaction with Log4OM ?
My choice right now is in Bitdefender. :?

All your help will be very welcome. :)

Manuel,
I have not used an antivirus program for 15 years I find Windows Defender and firewall plus MalwareBytes keep me safe

Stay well

And regards to the family

Also no seperate antivirus software here. Only the Defender and the included Firewall. In all Windows
versions before it was the Microsoft Security Essentials that keeped me safe.

Manual,

I've used both of those products in year's past along with a few more.

Virtually all of them gave me headaches and issues with many different APPs I would be using on a daily basis. Many would consume so much overhead it would just cause my PCs to crawl or not even allow the APPs to work.

Yes, I had put them in the 'safe' list as well.

About 6-7 years I ago I threw up my hands and reverted back to Microsoft Windows Defender. It has worked flawlessly for me. Occasionally I'll add an APP to the 'safe' list, but only as a precaution and not because it would cause the APP to not function. I'll also run MalwareBytes on a manual basis as well from time to time.

For my use it has worked out very well for me. And ... I am saving a few $$.
