Hi everyone!

I have been using Avast Premier for months and I have problems with it. It interrupts my internet access therefore sometimes I can't even access the internet (I've been investigating what causes it, I thought it was drivers).

I had to uninstall Avast and then it doesn't interrupt my internet access.

Question 1: Does anyone know an effective 360° antivirus? People suggested that I should use Malwarebytes however I'm not sure if it's 360. I use this laptop sometimes for online shopping/banking, which is pretty critical.
Not a really heavy downloader, by the way.

Question 2: To the users of Windows Defender, does it effectively helps you defend against viruses?

ESET was good last I used it, but that was years ago, not sure anymore. I just leave defender enabled and I've never had problems. Then again, I don't try to download the internet and don't open shady stuff.

Don't know why anyone would pay for an anti-virus. As far as I'm concerned Avast free is the best and if you bundle that with common sense you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever.

Is avast like ESET?

I've downloaded several anti viruses on my laptop but they make the system really slow, although I don't really need any, but a good one would be great to have one that actually works fine
