Bitdefender just released a new free version of their AV since this video was produced. We DO NOT recommend using it until independent testing has been completed from the various labs... Also, Sophos Home no longer offers a base free edition after 30-day trial ends. DO NOT PAY FOR IT. You have better choices...

What free antivirus do you use? Whatever you use, DO NOT use Russian-based Kaspersky antivirus!!! It's not worth the risk... Thanks for watching :)

As a 7 years experienced full stack developer, quick tips to save your computer without even using a antivirus.

Most viruses and malware are present in ads and popups in different websites. Try using a ad blocker and a pop-up blocker which can save you 80% of the time.
AND change your download location from default to "Always ask where to save file".

I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH I HAD A TROJAN ON MY PC FOR A WHILE NOW AND AFTER INSTALLING AVAST ANTI VIRUS I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET RID OF IT. YOU HAVE EARNED YOURSELF A NEW SUBSCRIBER

I was so very much hoping, but not expecting, that microsoft defender was in this top 5. I use it mainly because it is the ONLY antivirus that does not slow down your computer when, like me, you are running an older pc with just 8GB ram.

Avast not only tries to install it's browser during installation (and make it the default), but also, each time it regularly updates itself, with the tick box to install it's browser and make it default, pre-ticked each time. All you have to do is not notice just one of the many times it updates and it's done. For a program that is supposed to help you not get unwanted software on you PC to deliberately set out to do just that is shameful.

In my experience on game platform Steam, post-covid, the best AV to quickly recognize new phisher links are Avira, Emsisoft, ESET, Kaspersky & Sophos AV (+ a few non-AV services). AVG is high up there too. In fact, pre-Covid, AVG was often a lonely detector of phishing links. Bitdefender also has quite a high rate of detection, pre- and post-Covid. I currently don't come across much malware at Steam, but that varies with time and behavior.

Once you've disconnected from internet
Then run the malware, then you will see the real power of ms defender .

A problem with Avast antivirus not mentioned in this video is the lack of privacy with this software. I had installed it recently but I decided to uninstall it after I found some suspicious delays in opening word documents, led me to suspect that actual content of my documents could be sent to Avast Headquarters. As I was aware of this privacy problem, immediately after installation of Avast antivirus, I changed the privacy settings inside the program, disabling all telemetry options, but I felt this was no guarantee, so I returned to Windows Defender.
