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.

Mainly brain.exe, the rest is nothing but partly dangerous snake oil.

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.

@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.

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."
