Obviously biased about price and VPN access. Not total security

Obviously biased about price and VPN access. Not total security yep, theres a bit more to it than that. Surprised :D no Total AV or Avast ?? (I'm joking).

If anyone thinks a VPN will stop getting infections then think again, it WONT. What does is a Security system that Stops infections before downloading to your Computer, like blocking suspect pages from even loading (eset does this very well and lets you know about it.) ;)

Like This: ( and I'm not telling anyone the that site)

1475441 2021-03-09 02:09:00 Saw an article on some overseas site the other week and most of the comments were that the Microsoft AV was just as good as the paid stuff. paulw (1826)
1475442 2021-03-09 02:12:00 Its better than the other Free ones, And its 100% compatible with Windows. The others are very good at "requesting" payments to upgrade to a paid version. wainuitech (129)
1475443 2021-03-09 02:41:00 Yes, I like Windows Defender. Even if it blocked my homemade .dll alts to a program. I run the eset online scanner occasionally. (even if a sure sign you have an infection/virus is that you can't access the site) the_bogan (9949)
1475444 2021-03-09 08:19:00 Oh look, googling brings up a ton of different sites, different results and different authors of such studies:

That applies for almost any number of so called unbiased scientific studies reported on in the media particularly if they are produced at the request of the Government or any other organization with skin in the game.

So , they are getting commissions on sales of they stuff they review , if you click their links

This is why all online reviews are now pretty much worthless

Either The reviewer gets PAID to write the review (paid by the company who makes/sells it)
or gets sales commissions , from links in the review
or the review is soft , as they dont want to upset advertisers or upset companies who send them free stuff

based on what . :)
That gets gets thrown out their so often now. Websites making that claim usually dont back it up with REAL facts or testing

MS have a long long long history of very spotty performance of their consumer AV products .
I'd rather go with a product that has a long history of good AV performance . A product that gets better over the years , rather than up & down

Id rather have a product that scans emails as they come in . That will block suspicious websites & websites known to have malware
A product that updates definitions quickly , does MS do that ? (I dont know)

look at past performance , then make a decision .

What the anti for this programme?
