"Best antivirus " Posted 2025-02-11
Pros: 1. Has free version and paid (Cheaper than others)
2. The app works well, transparent in data collection unlike other utilities.
3. Own by Russian, you're sure of real-time protection unlike spying western apps.
4. File system protection: Scans files, applications, and removable media for threats
5. Anti-virus: Protects against viruses, Trojans, worms, rootkits, and spyware
6. Anti-phishing: Blocks attempts to monitor user activity and display ads
7. Parental control: Controls access to devices, files, and the internet for different users
8. Firewall: Protects against network threats
9. Exploit prevention: Prevents attempts to exploit vulnerabilities
10. Ransomware protection: Unlocks devices compromised by ransomware
Final take: I've try big names like Avast, Kaspersky and others but Dr web stands out. Avast claim free version but after scanning when you try to neutralise the threats, you're asking to pay or upgrade which is so annoying. Kaspersky only works in windows.
Dr.web my first attempt of scanning detected hidden virus that has been popping up ads, and white screen notification. It neutralise it and my device is totally safe now. Thanks for their modern technology.Cons: 1. It's not popular like avast
2. Many western companies sees Russian & Chinese softwares as a threat. E.g. Deepseek AI.
3. Some of the notable features are locked which is common but with a cheaper price to unlock
4. No switch to turn off unless you clear apps in floating screen.Overall: My rating when comparing its free and paid version compare to Avast and others.
