True, we were using the free version and perhaps the paid version shows fewer ads, but in any case we decided to try some others. Maybe these allegations are unfounded, maybe not, in any case we looked around some more.īefore Kaspersky, we were big fans of Avast, until they started showing too many annoying pop-up ads for their various products. We considered the paid option, but during our research we learned of various allegations about Kaspersky having close ties with the Russian government. This got in the way of checking whether we correctly deployed updated Letsencrypt certificates for our own sites, because Kaspersky would keep loading its own certificate in place of ours. The free version is great and very highly rated, unfortunately it's not possible to turn off SSL certificate swapping (necessary for it to scan https traffic).

Can't remember why we uninstalled it.too high on system resources perhaps? We also tried Avire at some point in time, seems nice enough. So do I recommend ESET? Unfortunately no. It was difficult to exclude a program, and the firewall would flag the same traffic again and again despite me already adding a rule for it. Unfortunately this did not work reliably. Lo and behold, the freezes stopped.Īdditionally, I set ESET to add firewall rules interactively. Although I suspected ESET, only at the start of 2020 did I finally find time to remove ESET. This happened particularly when I connected/disconnected from VPN, or resumed my computer, or changes networks.

During this time my PC started "hanging" - the browser, email, other apps that use the internet occasionally didn't respond for 1-2 minutes.

Update : I personally used it for all of 2019 and only after a year. Eset is also very highly rated and light on resources, and focuses on being an antivirus program, which is great. Our runner-up was ESET, a product of Slovakia. ESET however did give me trouble on my own computer (see below). During this year I deployed BitDefender on 30+ computers and did not run into similar problems on any of them. Luckily I was able to restore to a previous state, however, I strongly suspected that BitDefender's advanced protection mechanisms were the culprit. Update : A few months into using it on my own computer I ran into a windows bootup problem. We currently use BitDefender because it's one of the top-rated antivirus programs while also being one of the least resource-intensive a/v programs out there.
