What #AntiVirus are you guys using?

I've uninstalled #avast a few months ago, used Windows Defender for a while now, but honestly it's kinda going on my nerves, how it behaves and the UI.

I don't like These huge anti Virus Providers which just have a Million functions I don't even care About. I don't Need vpn, Password Manager, game mode, or anything. I just Need protection against stupid viruses.

Anything thin and small you could recommend, or at least something which could fit my Needs? I mean, that it shouldn't slow down your entire System like Avast does is clear I Guess.

thanks for your recommendations.

@jonathan859 Windows security is good for normal users.It was bad in the past,but it's detection rate good now.But if you want a third party, try Bitdefender free version.It is simple and easy to use.

@vibudanimsara Bitdefender was what Chat GPT suggested me as well, but I installed it on my win 11 Laptop and sadly it was absolutely inaccessible with my screenreader #NVDASR.

To be honest, I don't really like windows security, it keeps removing files without asking me about it, and when I try to add an exception, it's just not letting me. The option link in the settings UI won't let me do anything. I just, can't find the option. Speaking about win 10 btw.

@jonathan859 @vibudanimsara Because of Bit Defender's high test scores, I would love to try it but when I installed it several years ago I allso found it to be totally accessible. I have also read that Windows Security does provide high test results. Personally, I use MalwareBytes Plus, which includes the antimalware program and the VPN. MalwareBytes is mostly accessible. Its main issue is that pull-down menus are not identified when you first move focus to them but once you invoke them the resulting options are accessible. I also use Windows Security, as both programs can be run concurrently.

@DavidGoldfield @vibudanimsara Sorry for coming back on this so late. But I don't completely understand. Was it accessible when you installed it, or not? Because for me it wasn't, and you wrote "I allso found it to be totally accessible."
