Batu69 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 AV-TEST performs new series of tests for Windows 10 Antivirus performance on Windows 10 A new series of tests performed by German institute AV-TEST in September and October 2015 determined the best antivirus solution for Microsoft’s new Windows 10 operating system, and surprisingly, a free solution tops the charts. They say freeware security software isn’t usually as good as their shareware rivals, but these tests show that, on Windows 10, this thing isn’t valid anymore, as Avira had at least similar performance to other top solutions currently on the market. Avira’s security product scored a maximum of 6 points for protection, performance, and usability, just like Bitdefender, Kaspersky Lab, and Symantec products. Each obtained 18 points overall, thus leading the charts in a dominant manner. Microsoft still at the bottom of the pack F-Secure and Trend Micro came next with 6 points for protection, 5.5 points for performance, and 6 points for usability while other free security products such as AVG and AVAST are behind with lower score. AVG, for instance, received 6 points for protection, which is clearly the most important factor for the majority of users, but only 4.5 points for performance, and this means that it might slow down your PC a little bit. 6 points were awarded for usability. AVAST, on the other hand, got only 5 points for protection, the same for performance, but received the maximum 6 points for usability. ESET scored surprisingly bad in this series of tests, gaining 5.5 points for protection, only 3 for performance, and 6 for usability. In other words, NOD32 is still a good app for protecting your computer against malware infections, but running it 24/7 could have an impact on system performance. As far as Microsoft’s security products are concerned, they’re again at the bottom of the pack. They’re not the last, though, as both ThreatTrack and Quick Heal performed even worse, but they received only 3.5 points for protection, 4.5 points for performance, and 6 points of usability.

dMog Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 this result is totally dependant on how much cash gets paid to the av test company by the eventual winner...paid in full.... before testing begins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RejZoR Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Actually, AV-Test and AV-Comparatives are both independent and very reliable testers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Someone paid for those results lawls. ESET and kaspersky (eset and kaspersky didnt pay for the results they have a history of being good) are considered the best with virus bulletin (avast is getting better) and why does every user keep forgetting about virus bulletin thats independent antivirus tester to and there very good.

trufpal Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Let's put the bribe accusation aside for a moment. We have to keep in mind that AV performance and score could be significantly different from test and real world (everyday use). Just my humble opinion. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyyahblah Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 always used eset without problems.ESET slower & having a bigger impact on System Performance than McAffee or Kaspersky? LoL...Who paid them for that article?Vote for ESET!Lmao this article makes me laugh. Out of all the replies we already have +3 for ESET and counting me that is +4 in total. I'm with the 3 posters above ... who the hell paid for this bullshit review, LMAO.I have been using ESET since it was called NOD32 since version 3.0 and never had a problem since. We are already on v9 and it still runs great. It was the greatest anti-virus for slower computers and people that still use mechanical 3.5" 7200rpm HDD's because ESET doesn't bottle neck system startup or performance when running. Hell this A/V runs fast even on laptops using shit 5400rpm hard drives. Loads right with Windows and doesn't impact system performance.I have used/tested tons of A/V's in the past on different friends computers, clients computers, to even testing myself on dummy PC's that I use to test software. (Incase of virus I format them and go at it again). I have tested Trend Micro (that piece of shit couldn't even prevent my computer from being infected from a CloneDVD.exe virus) piece of shit 100%. Bitdefender, Kaspersky and AVG all slowed down the shit out of the computers they were used on. Boot times were ridiculous when these A/V software suites were used as they took up too many resources with their bloated A/V crap. Files that topped the 100MB range, some of them as much as 200MB, for an A/V ... LMAO .... and don't even get me started on Norton/Symantec. That is by far the biggest piece of shit & bloatware I have ever seen.Nod is on V9 and its still under 100MB install files .... unbelievable. NOD is the only A/V that doesn't slow your PC down to a crawl and I never had a problem using SMART SECURITY because it gives you a firewall as well that is better than Windows crap firewall. Put that behind a nice router (ASUS RT-68N or, D-LINK) or whatever and your good to go with firewalls.And lastly if you are still paranoid just running only ESET (which you shouldn't be) because it protects then run Malwarebytes in the background along side it and turn off WINBLOWS Defender. Boom, maximum protection for the most paranoid. ESET + Malwarebytes = you are not getting infected, unless you are retarded. In that case, we cannot help you and recommend you a MAC BOOK.ESET FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycat19 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I WILL stay with Avast Pro because it has NOT let me down after many years of use!We like people like you. Makes it so easy to hack your system and you aren't even aware. :lol:You don't have to trust these reports but experience tells me you should. Personally I don't use any of them, since I found they were unneeded if other precautions are taken. But for the average script kiddie and wannabe computer 'expert' I would advise you install 6 or more packages and run them simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rok Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I had tried all latest Internet Security programs including: KIS, KTS, Avast, Eset. But, moved back to NSBU, as it's still the lowest resource consuming software. Running on full, NSBU only consume 10.5 MB in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've gone through the entire line above, it was correctly written as NSBU earlier, but later, near the end, a type made it to read BU. Corrected now.
