I use a Windows laptop and I have always believed that Windows Defender provides sufficient protection. From experience, the word 'free' is often used as a marketing gimmick. To get the full benefits of any antivirus software, some amount has to be paid. Has anyone else had the same experience?

I'm using Bitdefender Total Security and I don't recommend it. It seems to do a good job of stopping malware, but when it updates, it usually forces users to restart their computer. It gets old.

I haven't heard of the Bitdefender but if at all you are paying for this, it must be providing some security. Most software updates normally force a user to restart the computer but I often choose the option of restarting at a latter time.

I haven't used free antivirus software in a long time. I always figured that paid software would perform better. I'm currently using Kaspersky and I think it gets the job done.

McAfee used to be my antivirus software of choice but it is quite bulky as compared to the rest. Is there any difference in using the Kaspersky Internet Security? Is it any different from the antivirus?
