I have been using Kaspersky for a few years now, and I am wondering whether I should switch (yes, them being Russian is a factor for me) I have like a week before my antivirus expires, so I want to make a decision ASAP. My understanding is that BitDefender and Kaspersky are the top two. A few...

Would it be worthwhile to wait for the refreshes with Coffee Lake H CPUs?

I need to replace my old laptop (which has an ancient i7-2670QM and GT 555m) for both working and gaming reasons. I really don't want to spend more than $1600, I want a Thunderbolt 3 x4 port, and I want a GTX 1060 or higher. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I am also wondering how...

I have noticed on my desktop and my laptop a lot of the time when MBAM Threat Scan is scanning system files, it appends :WofCompressedData (or :WofCompressedData:WofCompressedData) to the end of many (but not all) system files (see http://imgur.com/a/FpQ2D). It never finds these files to be...

I did a full system scan this weekend, and it took like 2.5 hours. Then today, I tried to do another, and it skipped so many files that it only took 10 minutes. Thinking this was glitch, I upped on-access scanning to aggressive, and repeated the system scan. Same result. Any clue why it is doing...

Avast! was nice, but it just gave too many false positives. It told me that my Asus motherboard drivers were viruses and spyware... One time it tried to update Java without uninstalling the older version.

I just switched to Bitdefender, and it has massively slowed down my startup... And this issue has been around for a while... (http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=55892) Strongly thinking about returning this and getting Kaspersky. I am testing out Kaspersky on my laptop and...
