Any unlimited free security software is as good as not having one...they are just for "mann ki tasalli" !!!
Anyone using a genuine paid security software can vet on this.

And not using any USB device....I feel practically impossible in today's time !!

I am into this web world since 2008.. I know quite a lot about how free/paid stuff works.. had been using paid security softwares for years.. had to switch to Kaspersky free antivirus since I bought genuine Windows-10 license.. Microsoft Defender + Kaspersky free antivirus started working wonders since then..

Bro...didn't mean to belittle anyone, and I'm sure you must be knowing more than me !!
It's just that I saw a great change in performance after switching to paid version, same as you observed the other way round, and same thing I wrote here.
So again...no offense to anyone !!

He didn't belittle anyone, also paid or free antivirus won't make much of a difference. Windows defender + ublock origin is more than sufficient to stay away from malware unless you actually click for 25 milfs in your area banners.

Regarding belittle or not, I think it was already sorted between the two concerned parties...still thanks for advice

Regarding efficacy of paid or free antivirus, it is one's personal choice....so let that be that way !!

Also, when talking of viruses on insecure websites, not sure why some ppl tend to think of only a certain category of websites 😝🤣
 
I've used McAfee with same offer from Cashkaro. It's trash! You can find a comparison video of a YouTuber happens to security analyst installing virus and malwares to test some of prominent antivirus softwares including McAfee. And it was not even in top 3. Also the company went downhill after the owner involved in a crypto scam. Many analysts believe the software is a do nothing app. Surprisingly, Windows Defender did a pretty good job at preventing prominent and updated malwares installation and detection. Microsoft continuosly roll updates for Defender and I have had no problem ever. Switching to McAfee is like switching to a trash app even if it's free. Microsoft did so well with Defender that they obliterated the antivirus market for individual usage completely. Hope this helps ✌️

It's Kaspersky, Microsoft Defender, Bitdefender etc. Microsoft Defender is as good as the paid ones for personal use. For businesses go with paid ones. I'm impressed with Microsoft Defender as it gets updated almost weekly. McAfee was slowing down my laptop and battery drain too.

Yes, I too am using Bitdefender since last 2 years and very much satisfied with the security features. But lately, I think, it has become too bulky for my i5-4th gen 11 years+ old laptop....at times its becomes too jittery and nerve-testing 🤣

So, I'm looking for any lighter security software, with basic security features...any suggestions ?

Similiar config laptop for me & using ESET from 11 years, no lag no issues.
