I was just looking at PC Mag and what they see as being the best, so I am going to give Bitdefender a test run

I have been playing with Bitdefender and most of the features look very nice. The one showstopper for myself is the online banking or any site like PayPal and other where you would really want to be more secure. Bitdefender does not seem to automatically detect these and put you into a more secure browsing session. It seem to you need to set these all up in the Safe Pay option and each time open Safe Pay to use them. With Kaspersky it automatically picks up site where you might use your banking details and asks you if you would like to proceed in Safe Mode.
I tried out Norton but it kept freezing on my computer so I just removed it.
I am now trying McAfee and it was always the go to anti virus in the old days. It seemed to fade away but seems that it has now made a comeback. I am finding that the install procedure seems to be taking a very long time but I will let it run.

After trying a few times to install McAfee and each time it just times out I gave up. I had a look on their site for possible support on this and it seems the home user is not supported and only enterprise solutions. I suppose once you have purchased it and have a profile then you should be able to get support on the product. However for someone wanting to try it out for the first time this sort of puts a bit of a block on using this product.
MaAfee is way too invasive on the computer.
I was thinking of changing from Kaspersky when I have to renew it but with all this testing the only other one I might look at would be Bitdefender, however as I have had such good results over the years with Kaspersky I might just stick with them.
My main reason for wanting to change was the change they made with their anti spam management and watered it down so. Now that I am trying out Spambully and really like that I might as well just get that with Kaspersky .

I agree. Both Norton and MacAfee are bloated software packages, Norton being worse than MacAfee. I sort of understand why corporations, like AT&T, use it, but there are better, more streamlined packages out there, like Avast.
I just purchased Spambully and I am really impressed with how it all come together.
When I am doing work on customers equipment I find a lot of Avast installations, I have never had any issues on these systems that do have it installed and it seem very solid all round.
I agree!
I have been using Avast for years and am pleased with it. SpamBully is working great!
