So I have Kaspersky and have been trying to get rid of it for years but couldn’t figure out how to cancel it before it auto renewed. I finally got it to correctly cancel and not start up again.
What anti virus should i get instead? Bit defender, total av, and avast come up a lot on review sites but read way too much like ads esp when comparing features or speed to other anti virus software. Norton and mcafee seem to be top picks too but I don’t ever hear anyone who is tech savvy recommend them. I only hear bad things so I know those lists are bogus
Bit defender while usually the top recommend on these “reviews” it appears on here a lot too. it is also a lot more expensive for a year than Kaspersky was for 2+ years. Is it really worth it? If it is I don’t mind paying s premium for the best service.
Ive also heard some bad things about them and their anti ransomwarw history such as their software breaking people’s machines or not recovering files correctly. Are they really the best now?
They also don’t include a free VPN like Kaspersky didnt (except a short term of free data) but i don’t use a VPN much. I think about it but idk if its really worth it since I don’t use my pc except outside work hours 99% of the time. Is paying extra for it with bit good or is their vpn not as good as competitors?
Tldr is bit defender actually the best for protection and worth the higher cost?
