Just switched from a free antivirus to Bitdefender and the difference is night and day
I ran Avast Free for years and thought it was fine, but after my cousin got a ransomware attack last month, I looked closer. Bitdefender caught 3 hidden trojans on my system that Avast totally missed, and it uses way less CPU. Has anyone else made a switch that actually found real threats?

Switched to Malwarebytes last year and it dug up a keylogger my old Norton install missed. Free AV just doesn't cut it anymore.

Yeah, the part about free AV not cutting it anymore is so true. I read this tech blog last week that tested a bunch of them. They found most free versions don't even check for the newest types of malware, like fileless attacks that hide in your computer's memory. My friend had a similar thing happen with a different free program, it just totally missed a sneaky adware bundle. It really makes you wonder what's slipping through.
