I've looked back and can't find many comments about anti-virus and internet security software recently.
I was using F-Secure until a while ago but I downloaded and tried their new F-Secure booster and it partially crippled my Windows 10.
After reinstalling Win10 - I reloaded F-secure Internet security and that caused issues too !!!.
So I re-installed \Win 10 again - and decided to put back Kaspersky which I had used before and that has worked fine with Win 10.
Not sure who to blame - MS or F-Secure.
What are people here using these days - which causes the least impact on the PC whilst protecting the best.?

One of the best sources for checking both is

Note that Symantec don't participate
Kaspersky is in the top rank for both
