Anti-virus decision

[Freezanator]

Right now I'm running Qihoo 360 Total Security together with Advanced SystemCare 9.4 Pro with Windows Defender in the background notifying me that another antivirus program is doing the job instead. Should I keep using 360 Total Security or just uninstall it and let Windows Defender run with Advanced SystemCare 9.4?

I'd keep using 360 Total Security.

I've tossed all Anti-virus except Microsoft "whatever it is called this week" AV since Security Essentials got decent (a few years back.)

 

Combine that with safe browsing habits and uBlock Origin on Chrome and I've never needed anything else since.

Not had an infection or even the threat of one in years.

 

AV these days is way over-rated.

Qihoo is well-known for its sophisticated benchmark cheating skills.

Delete(or maybe disable) all three of them(Qihoo, ASC, Defender) and install Kaspersky or Avira.

I use Windows Defender, and Ublock, and run an ESET Scan, once a month or 2

Bit Defender has a really good free version, just scans things in the background, its never had a major impact on the performance of my PC and I've never had to worry about security.

It's been integrated into Windows Defender now for Windows 8 and above.

I removed it from my laptop because it kept telling me to sign in.

I just use Malware Bytes and Windows Defender.
