I honestly can’t think of any other way to force shitty antivirus programs to improve. Every boomer I know uses Norton or McAfee and refuses to even hear about other options.
Kaspersky is pretty good at protecting the average user from scammers, because they blacklisted remote desktop programs in their malware database, and now that’s being banned within the US.
The US government’s definition of “compliant” when it comes to something like that will completely cancel out anything good that comes from using Kaspersky, so it’s never going to be un-banned and also be worth using
We switched from kas to bitdefender. Bit seems as good as kas as my windows is still clean, well clean as windows can be, and my (Boomer) mother takes my advice and dropped nortons decades ago. Some of my alternate sites are just absolutely infested with malware and a buddy of mine, half my age, was using nortons and was having trouble connecting to me and server hosted online games. Had him run Malware bytes, I also ran it on my system to help him use it, and he was heavily infected; Nortons: Everything is fine, carry on. He is using bit now
Nah let admins admin. It would piss me off to have chosen a product just to have Microsoft effectively veto my decision as the machine owner.
If companies are going to buy stuff that crashes, let em. Don’t ask Microsoft to hand hold.
