Yeah I know , This has probably been asked a gazillion times but I am
not really finding the answer I am looking for. I cannot find a clear
answer on which one runs better or is the better product. Currently
running Avast free on this Win 8.1 machine as well as on some win7
machines and Avira free on other win7 machines

Question: Which do you feel runs better on your machine? What others
besides Norton or Mcafee do you run.

I know I am going to hear the response of run them and decide yourself
but occasionally I would like a second opinion.

Thanks in advance

Why what is wrong with windows defender?



Nothing is "wrong" with it, but it was basically a token gesture from
Microsoft. If you think of any well-known anti-virus (Avast! and Avira
are two typical examples), and picture that AV program as a fully tricked
out SUV, Windows Defender by comparison is a subcompact car.
