the whole "Rah Rah USA" thing makes me suspicious. I'm thinking a PLA plant.

but I'll defer to others who know better.

Before that I always had Kasperksy.

Seems that its popularity has fallen quite a but since reports came out that they were working with the Ruskie government and dark web types.

It's not like I'm trading positions against Warren Buffett or anything. But still, if I buy a plasma TV for someone, I'd rather it not be for some kid I don't know, living in a basement in Moscow (or Beijing, for that matter).

I like it fine when I had it on my PC and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware was able to catch Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP's) on my PC. It's fine when I do a Quick Scan but when I do a Custom Scan, say only scan my C-Drive, or a Threat Scan (A Full Scan which takes about three hours) it kept causing my computer to crash, and this kept happening again and again. Once I un-installed Malwarebytes, my PC has been working pretty good and no more crashes.

I downloaded Avast's free AV, and I'm happy with it. I did some research, and purportedly the free version is comparable (if not the same) as the pay version. The same company owns another AV SW also beginning with an A, but Avast seemed to get better reviews.
 
Nope for webroot, I use bid defender and malware bytes together since 7 years and it is the best protection so far.

Thanks Georges. I asked because I saw some inconsistent reviews on Amazon. It confused me even more. I think I'll take your word for it. This is the BitDefender I'm thinking of buying.
