📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses antivirus software options as the original poster considers renewing their Webroot subscription and seeks recommendations beyond free solutions. Neemobeer suggests Cylance, an AI-powered product primarily used in enterprise settings, as a strong alternative, and Axel expresses interest in exploring it. Later, another user recommends Windows Essentials (likely Windows Defender), but Axel shares skepticism about its effectiveness based on malware test results seen online, indicating a preference for more reliable paid options. Overall, the conversation leans toward recommending paid, reputable antivirus solutions over free or default options.

My current subscription to Webroot SecureAnywhere is going to expire in a few weeks. I've had it for a year and it's been good and quite. Quite meaning that it's been non-intrusive and not a big resource hog. So that's been great! But I'm always on the look out for what's better since the software game changes constantly. What are you all using right now? Any recommendations for something other than Webroot? I don't want any free versions either. I don't mind paying to support good companies. Thanks!

I've too many malware and ransomware tests on YT where Windows Defender failed miserably to trust it as my main AV.
