March 3, 201313 yr I think you chose well with MSSE, its light, free, updated everyday, and you can exclude files and locations like your sim to help performance. Congratulations on being member of the month btw! Chris Howard
March 3, 201313 yr Well I had MSE for a while, but it dragged out the switch-on boot-up such a long time that I uninstalled it and went back to Avast.
March 3, 201313 yr Commercial Member I like MSE but found out it didn't catch everything. So I combined it with Malwarebytes and I think I have a winning combination. Even with that I have daily back-ups of projects I am working on and monthly back-ups of entire hard drives. A winning combination for me. Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!) Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11), EVGA 1300W PSUNetgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displaysFull array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.
March 3, 201313 yr Commercial Member I use F-secure. You can unload the AV and leave the firewall running. Rules and services are easily configurable. It's not a resource hog either and not very bloated. Regards, Dave Opper HiFi Support Manager
March 3, 201313 yr +1 ESET Modern, uptodate, and not a resource hog. Rob"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it"
March 3, 201313 yr I use Bitdefender Total Security 2013 http://www.bitdefender.co.uk/solutions/total-security.html It runs on my desktop, laptop, tablet and phone. The anti-theft and Safepay features are also very good. Nick
March 4, 201313 yr I use combination of Microsoft Security Essentials and full Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (not the free edition)....no issues so far How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
March 4, 201313 yr Kaspersky all the way for me. I use it for about 3 year now and I had zero problems with it. It also seems to be pretty light on the resourses, I never had problems with FSX caused by Kaspersky. Best regards, Steffen Fight time: NGX 737-700: 37,0h; -800: 47,2h
March 4, 201313 yr Author Commercial Member I took the MalwareBytes advice as well, and I am extremely please with the combo of MSE and MalwareBytes Pro Edition. System feels well protected now and not bloated at all. Apps run smoothly, use little resources and don't over complicate things with 29,999 shields running at once. lol Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Regards, Efrain RuizLiveDISPATCH @ http://www.livedispatch.org (CLOSED) ☹️
March 4, 201313 yr Commercial Member Been using MSE and Malware Bytes paid version together too, no problems so far.
March 4, 201313 yr Avira + malwarebytes. Tried kaspersky KIS and deleted it after 1 hour, maybe engine is good but UI is complete disaster. [color=#a9a9a9][size=1][size=4][img]http://forum.avsim.net/public/style_images/flags/rs.png[/img][/size] Lj. Prodanovic[/size][/color]
