I think that is a personal preference that some folks have. I don't think ProSeries minds too much as long as you are dealing with a brand name product. But for the record, I would stay away from ACME Antivirus. Speaking from experience, none of their products work very well. :smileywink:

The Anvil is a decent product that works very well.

Anvil is definitely a solid product although it weighs heavy on the system.

Many products on the market are equally good although differences in their UI and complexity in the various settings may make some more user-friendly than others.

If you are a small practice, you may like to check this website which certifies AV products and read a couple of reviews (which often reference their findings): https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/

If you are a practice that utilizes network and has a couple more devices you need to protect, you could also refer to the results here: https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/business-windows-client/windows-10/october-2019/

My IT guy says most Anti-Virus' are crap. They dont catch most things. I guess the best is pick the one with the least amount of holes and for us normal users, he recommended the free AVG. My personal preference is the same as Lisa's, Norton.

Edit: If I would've read Lisa's all the way through, I see she has changed.

In fact, a number of reports have lauded Windows Defender for being a well-developed internet security product (unlike its predecessors from the olden days) that users should no longer feel compelled to install additional software for protection.

For me, I always have at least 2 installed (no matter what they say about potential conflicts).

ProSeries really does not care that much about Anti-virus software being used. The more important thing is excluding the ProSeries data folder from being realtime scanned.
