      I know right? ESET used to be my favorite, since NOD-32 actually ... but nowadays, it is really bad.
      I've tested it for multiple weeks, even have two licenses on my two home PCs.
      But it performs very poorly. So I will be switching soon to something else.

    Now need a part 3 with what I call the "Legacy" AV programs, the ones that use to be huge but now are pretty much only included for free pre-loaded onto machines since no one will buy them otherwise. Norton, McAfee, Avast, AVG.
    What I find most comical however is the comment section. People have a strange attachment to AV programs, and defend them like they're best friends or family. These are all corporations, they're not your friend, and you should absolutely switch if one doesn't currently perform well. You don't get any points for being "loyal" to an AV company, lol.

      @falcon_224 works well until you get a more sophisticated malware. There is a huge market for browser exploits, browser hijacks, session hacks, software exploits even RGB lighting exploitations, pdf malware and so much more that the built in Microsoft solutions won't stop, the benefits with Bitdefender is that they have so many layers of protection for each module, so it makes it more challenging to bypass. Bitdefender has the largest Signature database in the world, with over 500 million online devices connected across the world. Their developers also figured out that just stopping known signatures isn't enough but they also use a way to detect unknown threats by pattern recognition that runs in the cloud, a lot of malware is copied and modified, and just repacked, so when it recognizes the behavior from precious malware it can quickly stop it, even if it's undetected. I even tried my own sample and it just named it to a generic malware with a number next to it.

    Nice video, as always! I just like the way you test the antivirus products, especially when behavioural detections are more and more important nowadays. At the same time, I would also love to see a test with ESET Smart Security Premium rather than ESET Internet Security because ESET Smart Security Premium has a new sandboxing feature to ensure that apps are executed only when they are known to be safe in the cloud sandbox. Last time, I was installing a driver for a printer in the library, and ESET told me that they were analysing an unknown file in the cloud. Such a feature is only available in the Premium plan (Smart Security Premium) but not the Essential plan (Internet Security). Given that ESET has poor HIPS results, I think we can also evaluate the product's sandbox-analysis capabilities for never-before-seen threats as well. As this is a new feature, I would really love to see how it works against unknown ransomware~

      But from what I've seen since, while IDK if there may or may not be some Kaspersky employees with not so clean pasts, they sure are excellent AV people. Kaspersky has uncovered hacks by global actors like Israel (which is arguably, US aside, the nation with the most advanced cyber arsenal), you don't do that by having connections with Russian hackers.

    I have to say, it is a shame how Malwarebytes has improved but still fails to detect things that Kaspersky and Bitdefender do.
    They need to consider working on improving the heuristic protection. As well as their signatures, looking at Malwarebytes signatures, they rarely manage to tell what form of malware it detects. Bitdefender and Kaspersky takes the W.

Aside from anti-virus/ malware things, are there any other protection packages from other companies that do things like "disk cleanup recommendations" where Kaspersky would identify duplicates of files I had on my pc or mention apps that I haven't used in over a year? It just had so many little features that were easy for me to understand and control from their dashboard and I miss it terribly.
