Antispyware & Antimalware


Antivirus
    It is not recommended to have more than 1 anti-virus installed at a time, as they may conflict with each other, resulting in security loopholes and general performance decrease. Ultimately defeating the purpose of having them in the first place!
    For proper uninstall of an antivirus software make sure you check its website for a tool as most require you to get the latest uninstallers to properly remove all background processes, agents, and undo registry entries. Example (Bitdefener): https://www.bitdefender.com/uninstall/

    Avast, AVG, and Norton are not on the list as their companies are merged. They also have a history of selling user data and behavior to advertisers. In 2022 they also added crypto miners to their software.
    While their detection rates are generally good, due to the aforementioned shady business practices, they are not included on this list.
