After many years of using a certain antivirus solution, I decided to switch when the price for a family plan increased significantly. I explored various alternatives based on cost and protection levels, testing their system impact through trial versions. One option that caught my attention was a more affordable antivirus, especially with promotional pricing, and it consistently received high ratings for strong protection in independent assessments. However, I found that this antivirus had a noticeably greater impact on system performance compared to others I had tried. While I managed this by using lighter protection settings, it was still a drawback. Given that many experts say a built-in antivirus is now comparable to paid options, I opted for a combination of the built-in solution with a lighter profile from the new antivirus. Unfortunately, my one-year subscription was abruptly cancelled after less than four months, without any notice or explanation. I reached out to support, providing proof of purchase including their confirmation email. Yet, my request to reactivate the subscription was denied, and they only offered a discount on a new one. I have never encountered a paid subscription being cancelled in this manner, and the handling of this situation was unacceptable. There’s no incentive for me to pay again after such a short service period, nor do I trust that a new subscription wouldn’t face the same arbitrary cancellation. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this antivirus.
