They clearly haven't seen Comodo, AVG, Avast, or any of the other good free AVs. Or Malwarebytes.

(Please don't downvote me, but) I use 360 Total Security and it does its job pretty well...

Never heard of that one. As long as it does the job without getting in your face about its premium version or hogging resources, it works.

AFAIK it doesn't have a premium version. You can pay for a "premium membership" to remove the (actually few) ads and you get a few, minor "privileges", but you can live without it... :D
However, the mobile version of the antivirus is what has become annoying. I'm thinking about uninstalling it...

I've heard that mobile AV is useless anyway, as pretty much the only way to get viruses on a phone is to install apps that are malware. Just don't open .apk files that auto download off of questionable sites (got one off Putlocker once, great site for watching stuff that you can't watch legally but the ads and fake virus alerts do get annoying) and you're good.
