KASPERSKY alternative?

[Gloxina]

Sorry to make a new thread, but I’m a bit perturbed and, well, desperate because I didn’t realize KASPERSKY will be banned in ~ 8 days.
Love love love it and it’s the only thing I’ve used for at least 10yrs. Do you guys have any suggestions? Antivirus programs that you’ve been happy with?

I upped this thread because I currently use Kaspersky and this was announced:

No word if they are going to offer refunds for people who have subs but we have until September 29th to find a replacement. I was looking at Bitdefender Plus but I'm always up for suggestions.

Nothing will come close. They were incredibly effective and caught more state sponsored stuff than any other provider.

I use ESET but only because getting keys was easy. A strong contender would be BitDefender as an alternative but again, doesn't have Kaspersky's chops. Its probably your best choice, though.

What do you do with your computer ?

If you do basic stuff and are careful with what you download or click, the default Windows antivirus should be more than enough.

Thanks! Heard about that one
