Best antivirus for Windows 10 64?

I never cared for either BD or Kaspersky when looked as well as Avira and Avast. I had been running the free AVG for a number of years but wasn't getting the type of protection web filtering offers. While AVG and others will remove VIPRE in use now for several years already prevents! And if you decide to go with any paid for software that is one to be looking for.

That would be defense and web filtering along with an effective firewall will go much further then the "After the Fact" av remover processes seen with any software. Being User Smart is another major component as this subject remains endless regardless of what new thread is started. In other words "Common Sense Applied" usually is the element that prevails as the best prevention.

Just had to buy a new Acer Aspire Laptop, as the screen went on my Toshiba.
Started it up and straight away McAfee showed up and laptop took ages to kick in.
Once got it working Uninstalled completely McAfee.
Windows Defender kicked in and now I have a really fast laptop.
Came with Windows 10 X64 bit Home.
Thought Toshiba was fast but Acer faster

Acer sees some great lcds while lately been finding Toshiba has been pretty reliable as far as portables go. I'm not surprised to hear Acer having a fast model either. Look at the specs first! If you have enough memory and a faster cpu and not so much OEM bloatwares you should be seeing a unit run like a rabbit. If loaded down with crapola slow as a turtle is how that goes.

Now as for Mc A Fail that crap is heavily promoted since everybody already knows it's crapware and they pay to have their stuff pre-installed. But what you are seeing is still only trialware and then they get you if you buy. The better companies will have already trended for seeing light footprints while Mc A Fail is still old school flop central.

Have had and still got some Toshiba laptops, never before had an Acer and I must say I am well impressed. Windows Defender working well. Because I did not update McAfee it came uninstalled with no hassle at all. Did not even have to use their uninstaller.

That's mainly promotional type stuff to begin with. It's meant to be easy to remove otherwise people would be after Acer about it!

As far as what protections you decided on will generally depend on much usage the Acer will be seeing. Have a 2yr. subscription on the laptop bought in January I could see upgraded from the Internet Security Suite to Internet Security Pro but the $10 upgrade offer was back at the start of the year. The desktops fall under the lifetime of device licensing or 2027 whichever comes first. That avoids the "oh I forgot the renewal" in 2 or 3yrs. time.
