Antivirus choice
Hi
i got very disappointed with Windows Defender, it kept deleting files, which I knew to be safe, so disabled everything about it I could find.then I began the search for a replacement. I can’t afford yearly subscriptions, so looked for free alternatives. I am unable to install Avast, keeps saying there has been an error, kaspersky, won’t connect to the server to activate, Panda comes up with cant connect to the internet.....reviews vary widely, Avira got terrible reviews on one site, while coming 2nd best on another....have installed Spybot for now for malware, but told malwarebytes is superior.
many moons ago I used free Avast and had no issues at all, also told that Avast is heavy on reseoirces, also looked at bit defender free, but told it is not configurable, so may do the same as windows defender and start deleting files without warning or intervention.
so bit stuck as what to to do......maybe if someone has a good knowledge of windows defender, I can reinstate it, but make it ask before deleting anything.....
any help would be appreciated
thanks
