I jumped from McAfee to Norton to AVG to MSE, each time due to bloat, MSE doesn't seem to suffer as yet, maybe they've learn't something at last.

Used NOD32 for years and will not be switching any time soon (if ever).

My daily work isn't just Apple products you know

I'm on NOD32 as well - recommend MSE to all my friends who don't want to pay for AV software, but I'm not moving. As above though - I still rely on other software like malwarebytes to give additional layers of protection.

I think for recommending a free AV to friends/family, MSE is the winner. But I've not found a reason to move from NOD32 personally. It's been brilliant for me for many many many years now.

Don't waste your money when free products like MSE are out.

Surely most reasonable people use something like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to protect their PCs against malware?

Most reasonable people, hopefully.

But the research is done by a third party (as far as I can see).

And the "kid" remark is just laughable coming from someone who is not even 30 years old.

Do you talk like that to anyone who's just a bit younger (or even not) than you?

Wrong, the tests were performed by Malware Research Group.

What? You start by calling me "son" and then you act like a child?

You posted bad advice, I corrected you. Accept it.

By the way I don't rate Emsisoft, if that's what you took from my post you missed the point.

I know a lot about the shady history of MRG, but I'm not sure what you're getting at by linking me to that forum. It looks like a forum poster was banned on several forums including MRG, what's your point?
