  Don't professional Ozbargainers just use Windows Defender if using Windows OS?

  Do you even need one on Linux?

    Windows Defender is decent but it doesnt actively block toxic pop ups and malicious scripts. It has some vulnerabilities that hackers can get around. I was hacked. I downloaded a free video editor (I wanted something other than paying $50 to Adobe) and this software uploaded my Chrome passwords file via a script. Because I'm tech savvy I instantly noticed something is wrong. I presumed this file is encrypted but guess what, it isnt. So the hacker from Russia had access to all my passwords and instantly I started seeing payments on my Paypal, my bank account was emptied, my Youtube account was cleared out (all playlists, uploads lost), Gmail was hacked etc.

    But I realised all this was happening because my CPU usage went to 100% instantly (basically it was a trick by the script to make my computer slow to react to my actions). So I was not able to disconnect Wifi. So I switched off my router, then spent the entire night changing my passwords. It took me about 12 hours to finish this. Didnt sleep the whole night. Luckily I was just barely 1 step ahead of the hacker and changed my bank account passwords before he was able to complete the transaction to move the funds to his account. One week later I got my money back because it was stuck in a transfer limbo with no destination. Since then I've been using BitDefender, I dont save passwords in the browser, I use password manager where every password is unique, I have 2FA on as many things as possible.

    The hacker was probably pissed off that he couldnt milk the money from me so he kept trying to hack me for another 1.5 years. He sold my stale info on darkweb and his buyers tried to hack me I would receive "Are you trying to login?" emails. I was worried my identity will be stolen but I was 1 step ahead of the idiot hacker so I managed to protect wherever I store such info. It has all stopped now but it was bad… really stressful.

  Probably the best consistent performer of all of the paid AVs out there for the past decade or more. And unlike companies like Kaspersky, no ties to the Russian government.

    Oh gawd, that urban myth has been going around for decades now.

    https://www.crn.com/news/security/300088716/kaspersky-ceo-re…

    "Kaspersky Lab CEO Eugene Kaspersky sought to reassure the company's channel in a letter to partners Thursday, in which he denied allegations of inappropriate ties to the Russian government.

    In the letter, Kaspersky said the one constant in the "attacks" against the company is that "facts are continuously misinterpreted or manipulated to fit the agenda of certain individuals separately wanting there to be inappropriate ties between my company and the Russian government."

    "I want to reassure you, our valued partner – there is no evidence because no such inappropriate ties exist. While Kaspersky Lab regularly works with governments and law enforcement agencies around the world to fight cybercrime, the company has never helped, nor will help, any government in the world with its cyberespionage efforts," Kaspersky said.

    For 20 years, Kaspersky Lab has been committed to trust and transparency, as our partners know firsthand. The company has a history in the IT security industry of always abiding by the highest ethical business practices and trustworthy development of technologies. These principles will never change, regardless of current geopolitical tensions or inaccurate media representations. We have never let – nor will we ever allow – false allegations stop us from fulfilling our primary mission of protecting people and businesses around the world from cyberthreats.

    I’ve repeatedly offered to meet with government officials, testify before the U.S. Congress and provide the company’s source code for an official audit to help address any questions the U.S. government has about the company. We are ready and available to assist all concerned government organizations with any investigations, and I believe a deeper examination of Kaspersky Lab will confirm that these allegations are unfounded."

    Or I guess you can believe the U.S. instead (hahahahahaha)?

      Hard to classify it as an urban myth at this point, given that there was literally a cache of leaked emails earlier this year showing that Kaspersky Labs has been involved in writing software for Russian Drones being used for the war in Ukraine.

      It's not like it's just the US government raising issues either. The UK, German, Italian, Lithuanian, and Dutch governments have all independently taken action to either remove Kaspersky software from government computers and/or to caution the public about using their software.

        So what does drone software have to do with their AV product (even if the story is true)?
        Should we boycott the corporations who write software fro for other governments drones as well? If not, why not?
        And why did those governments do that? Because there was a problem with the software or because they wanted to vitrue-signal over the current state of events in The Ukraine?

        Anyway, each to their own, if Kapsersky is guilty of working in cahoots with the Russian government then you can bet your bottom dollar western AV corporation will be doing the same with their respective governments. I have no preference which governments want to spy on me, to me they're all the same.

          @EightImmortals: It demonstrates that a company that claims to have no ties to the Russian government clearly has ties to the Russian government's military complex, the same lot who are literally engaging in cyberware and sabotage against civilian infrastructure across Europe. Should we boycott companies who outright lie about their military ties, particularly when said companies products and services are interfaced with our private data? Absolutely we should.

          Many of those government actions against Kaspersky happened well prior to the start of the current war in Ukraine, around 2017-2018. For those that happened afterwards, such as the German and Italian actions in March 2022, the idea that countries would "virtue signal" national security risks is simply absurd. But then, given you're using the terminology of "The Ukraine" to refer to Ukraine, a term that's strongly associated with Russian propaganda against Ukrainian sovereignty, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that you'd be inclined to dismiss concerns relating to Russia and its imperialist aggression?

          Is there a possibility that other AV companies could be compromised in some way by other governments. Sure there is, just as there would be similar concerns about any other security software like VPNs, as well as "secure" communications companies (Telegram in particular is so obviously compromised by Russia that it's absurd). But that's pure whataboutism. An important difference here is that a) there's been no such allegations against Bitdefender and b) if there was something happening, you'd be more likely to see whistleblowers coming out of the woodwork about it in western nations than you would under repressive authoritarian regimes such as Russia.

  I thought marketing terms such as while stocks last were banned or discouraged here

  Thanks, will use to stack on top of last years deal.
  Years ago bitdefender was bloated and slow but it uses really low resources now.

  Regarding KSP, there’s no solid evidence against them, its mostly guilt by association. Either way i dont see how KSP denying everything qualifies as a debunking.

  Thanks OP. I keep adding these discounted deals to my subscription. Substantially reduces the cost and is invaluable for my family members that are not IT savvy.
