I remember how McAfee detects Norton as a “threat” and Norton does the same with McAFee when you run them together
That's actually how they're supposed to work though. It's not that it necessarily sees that it's a competitor's product but rather they detect that a program (any program) has accesses to your system that it probably shouldn't.
@@lucassatie Uh, he said multiple times in the video they're usually just scanning a list of known viruses, not looking at permissions a program has. So, that's not how they work at all.
It is highly recommended not to have more than one on your PC, if one throttles your pc imagine 2
when I replaced my corrupt hard drive, it came with windows 7 and and preinstalled anti virus which i was unaware of and i installed avira on it. It slowed down my pc to a halt.
My friend in high school crashed his laptop that way.
When I bought my first laptop, it came with a 1 year licence of McAfee. Being new to the pc enthousiasm, I left if for a year, everything was great! Until a year and one day. The day that my licence expired, McAfee started hugginh 99% of my CPU, nringing my system to a halt! And the worst part? Whenever I started task manager, it would stop hugging to not be seen. Meanwhile, I was constantly being harrassed by McAfee popups saying that I was no longer protected or that my system had been infected, URGING me to renew for another year. I managed to find the culprit by first sorting the processes by CPU usage, most first, closing task manager, wait for my system to slow down, starting shadow play to record the screen then fire up task manager. By rewatching the fotage in slowmo, I saw McAfee at 99% for about a second before it stopped. Immediatly uninstalled it.
Just fo format and clean windows install from time to time
McAfee itself is actually a Lord of Virus..it bullies virus and your computer
MCAfee is owned by Intel, so that explains why
Same, my laptop came with McAfee, had it for about a year (it was normally a year but the countdown had started before I bought the laptop, but I didn't care). After the almost one year, I uninstalled it right away. TBH I am happy with Windows Defender, so far I haven't had any issues with anything, no viruses, no stupid notifications nothing, and no hits on the performance.
Lol I use my own antivirus (G Data) so I always just uninstall whatever comes preinstalled (on my last computer it was Norton) because I like the simplicity of G Data, and I know it doesn’t slow down my pc
Me: *tries to download anything*
McAfee: *Download me*

I remember haveing a laptop when i was younger that came preinstalled with norton and I absolutely hated it, I will never touch it again. I also remember it being harder to delete than an actual virus.
I recently bought an Acer Nitro 5 with Norton pre-installed. I haven't uninstalled it yet. lol

6:03 I would like to point out to you that McAfee has been a cloud based antivirus for awhile now, and it stores it's key signatures in servers. It's not just antimalware like Malwarebytes that does that, Bitdefender, McAfee and Kaspersky also do that too.
Yea, that's true and thankfully, you hardly ever need to scan offline but there's instances where that's important, believe it or not.

Hi Jarrod , you too here 😄
I am really curious and want to know what do you think of whether I should get the Helios 300 2019 right now or should wait for the 2020 which I assume will have a better bigger battery .
Ronit Satapathy I don’t think you are trying to get a Helios 300 for a bigger battery. Get it for other reasons such as its performance.
Except it slows down your PC and has a ton of false positives. Kaspersky free works better.
Ronit Satapathy if you wanted battery life you should get a laptop with a good cpu without a gpu for cheap, and get an egpu if you want to edit and do higher workload tasks.

"Especially the days of mechanical hard drives"
Me on my mechanical hard drive : Hmmmm
We all still use hard drives for all but the few most played games.
SSDs for programs and the operating system. HDD for anything that takes up significant amounts of storage or is constantly doing read/write cycles; games and documents/photos/videos/etc.
@@sulphurous2656 also SSD for games like witcher 3 that take long to load on HDD and Rainbow Six where you get kicked if you don't load within a few seconds.
Just buy an SSD lol
I only play like 4 games so I can fit all of them on my 500GB 860 evo. Also, even if i did play more games I would just buy another SSD, like they're cheap AF, less than $100 for 500GB
My first PC (a Core 2 Duo back in 2008) had Karspersky installed in it. It was pretty heavy on the system. Then I switched between multiple, equally resource demanding, products and finally settled with Eset Smart Security. It was very light weight, gave me more control over the product (both antivirus and firewall) and I think performed better than its peers in detection.
Kaspersky in 2023 is actually kinda lightweight even with some increaced settings

I haven't heard about the gorilla experiment in a while, I forgot about it!! Probably one of my favorites, it was super funny to watch and not even notice there was a gorilla in the middle
How do you know to talk about exactly all of the things I'd be interested in. LOL. Great job on the video.
Fun fact: according to the most reputed antivirus testing site avtest, windows defender is realistically all you'll ever need.
I tend to agree as I've never had a 3rd party antivirus/antimalware software since 2007 and I've never had my PC infected. I do live more dangerously than most others (if you know what i mean) but still defender seems to work just fine.
Yep, once Windows 10 came out Windows Defender became fine for people, especially the general public. I work retail and the first thing I tell customers when they come in to purchase antivirus is to uninstall their current antivirus and Windows Defender will protect them for free.
I am shocked by how many people don’t even know Windows has free AntiVirus as they have always purchased computers from stores with preinstalled Norton or McAfee and always assumed they had to keep renewing it.
I am sure most people disregard what I have to say since I am a retail worker but whatever, at least someone will listen and if not they can still buy their AV software in store (for now, until everything ends up all digital)
I personally use Windows Defender, and for files I really don’t know anything about I will run them thorough virustotal for some additional AV perspectives on a file.
I used to rely on Avast, but the software became too naggy. Constantly giving popups for special offers etc. Switched to defender, and haven't looked back, it's great, and less performance hit than Avast too.
It really depends a lot. Defender/security is usually plenty for most people, but I have had atempts that were more sophisticated on my computer and defender does nothing against that. I used to have a subscription for Bitdefender, but due to various reasons I really couldn't use that any more as it both wasn't secure enough and didn't allow me the range of controll that I wanted. These days I use Emsisoft, and have mostly great experiences with that. I do understand that not everyone else gets affected by attacks as frequently as I do however (I do get exposed partly due to my interests, partly due to my job and partly just becasue of my stupid curiosity).
For casual users Defender is the best.
In Kali Linux you can actually test your virus on multiple antiviruses.
Defender was the last one standing in 25+ tests.
I don't know if AV-test are the most reputable. I vaguely remember a controversy in which they were accused of using a test to make a certain AV product look more favourable. I'm having trouble looking it up, so take this as you will. In any case: there is also AV-comparatives you can check out. Their summary reports also include a product review of the tested software.
Av-test’s site is down though because of all the LTT army stampeding on their site! 🤣
I prefer the Malwarebytes
Do I need windows defender with malwarebytes?
Common sense is also a good virus preventer. 😊
@@dackenisking can't disagree but once you get into habits your common sense kinda gets gimped sometimes
@@Makaveli6103 and my answer is any bought scanner can replace windows defender but shrugs
Dude this video is exactly what I was looking for.
I have been feeling for a while now, like windows defender slows down basic tasks, performance benchmarks aside. I’m just glad to know someone tested it so I know I’m not crazy.
I feel like enabling real time protection, plus the reputation based app protection settings, slows down everything a ton. I mean, when I click, I expect to see something happen on screen relatively quick. Instead, I have a pc that I consider to be quite good, ans I sit and wait ten seconds before anything pops up on screen after I open an application.
With 64Gb of RAM, 9% memory usage approximately during these times, m.2 NVMe drive, minimal CPU usage, low temps; left me thinking ‘I know my pc is not being bottlenecked or throttling, so what is it doing between the time that I click, and the time that I see results on screen’
I was looking in reputation based protection, and there is a feature which came enabled, that scans windows apps from windows store to see if they’re doing anything “bad”. Another feature that scans ‘non windows store’ apps, another feature that scans ‘bad reputation’ apps; etc.
I feel like whether you are starting a program, transferring a file, downloading and unzipping, that the AV software is scanning literally every action that happens, looking for something wrong; if you have all those protections enabled.
At the same time, as soon as you start disabling that stuff, I feel like windows realizes something’s not turned on, and fudges speeds even more.
Just give me an OS that makes the dang computer compute, and don’t force all this extra BS on me.
Anyway, I’m just happy to find this video, It was cool to see statistics on it, and normally when I go searching for answers, I only find half explanations, or the basic BS that everyone else seems to post. I really like this channel.

I still use hard drives, but only for data storage. I would never today use a hard drive for a boot drive, especially with a (relatively) bloated OS such as Windows. Linux seems to run fine and MacOS is usable, but I still prefer the responsiveness of an SSD when it comes to any OS. Leave the hard drives to retrieving data!
@@timo4258 Hard drives as boot media are fine... (As long as you don't use Windows...)
@@bodgemaster7946 im talking about main drives tho.. also linux doesnt have antivirus anyway :)
I am liking that IBM 5150 setup you have lol
The intro is slightly out of sync. Drives me mad :‘D

Yes. Thank you!! I scrolled down for 2min! Before I found someone that got the Simpsons reference!!!!
Also the smoothest transition to LTT store underwear.
Should have done crystal disk mark tests as I notice a drop in responsiveness of windows in general with an antivirus. Im assuming it does still increase access latency globally even if the file was opened before as it has to check that database. Things definitly do open much slower the first time though, although some of this can be attributed to it being in the RAM file cache after the first time.
That Norton horror scene was crazy, got me cracked up🤣

anti virus cant remove windows virus ....how it will remove virus in real life
OH CRAP ALMOST 69 LIKES
Nice
3:09 the part about Norton Antivirus made me spit my coffee lmao!
@@ext4961 it used to be (not sure if it still is) almost impossible to remove, like a virus. It also wasn't all that good.
@@ext4961 If you actually research it, you'll find out that it's actually not as bad as people are saying. It's just become common to ignore facts and go with trends. Look at av-test.org or av-comparatives.org. The folks at av-comparatives actually do several month long tests to see how each submitted application performs over time, as well as quarterly tests. You'll get better information from those sites than you will from people commenting on this video.
@@ext4961 it isn't really bad anymore. But if you're running soon Win 10, windows defender is actually good enough. I used to run Avast on Win 7, but with 10 I don't need to.
That was a great video as usual, but how about a 2022 update with a LTT recommendation? Kaspersky has been banned this year by many countries being a security risk and not so popular options of the past like McAffee and Norton may be a viable solution in 2022. Interested to hear LTT's view on this.
You got my like with that CVS Receipt reference.
Mom: how you'd get her pregnant
Me: Linus told me to go bareback
lol i was laughing so hard at his joke!
WTF!

true
Dude those specs on that " few years old" mock gaming rig are still better than the comps many have.
This video brings me back that represed memory of trying to uninstall Norton, the most dangerous, nightmarish and hogging system resources Norton Ghost.
"Longer than a CVS receipt" is going into my daily vocabulary as of this video
Funniest thing is there are no CVS in Canada.
@@stevenjohnson2409 I was wondering if they even had those.
I know something else longer than a CVS receipt...if ya know what I mean. ;)
Linus: says something techy
Me: Nice beard

Can you do a video on how your folding project is doing?
Seeing on the advert in the beginning how they put the Thermal Grizzly conductant makes me feel anxious and probably gives me nightmares !!!
Bruh. Linus looks like he twenty years in the future. He looks more mature.
I know right he looks wayyyy better with that beard and mustache.....
Now with the beard, it sounds like he's putting on that voice.
IDK about mature but lol
A preview of 50 year old Linus, maybe.
Puberty....

should have at least included a decent well-reputed antivirus such as Kaspersky or Bitdefender which are known for there performance.
That's what I also thought
avast kasperksy that I just tried both gave me the same things, lower benchmark scores, slower 10gbit network speed (but well 10gbit is a nightmare of bottlenecks you easily loose 2,3,4,5000Mbit/s because your computer woke up on the wrong foot)

I only play games on my laptop and Norton definitely caused issues. It was also super difficult to remove. Had to boot to safe mode and run their removal tool then manually remove more Norton hidden files.
The only difference i got uninstalling Bitdefender was a few hundred mb of ram usage removed and no more annoying notifications! so i reinstalled it as besides the notifications that you can't turn off it's absolutely fine and doesn't affect performance.I also always watch background apps and sometimes use software to clear and stop things running while i game because i've found even the process using barely any resources can cause in game lag/stutter/crashes.
