My honest opinion about cloud AVs, a waste of time.

We have got by for so long without cloud AVs, I'm sure we can protect our systems just fine without it. Some cloud AVs aren't too compatible, others whilst they might be compatible are still using system resources as everything isn't on/in the cloud.

One such example has a download size of over 70MB and that's bigger than avast. I also don't believe they have reached anything like maturity yet.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Should say free scanning service forever but 30days free virus removal only.

good point pondus, actually i have been using it for near about 8 month and still had not activated the free licance, it only finds some cookies which it deletes without question hence i forgot about its limitation as free version which cleans for only 30 days.  :)

@ardi_sugianto.I suggest you can have Prevx with you and I think it should not conflicts with avast!.Prevx has good detection but high FPs rate too.If you face any FP,you can follow the instruction here:http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=245129.besdies,Prevx may be slow down your program to open due to its file authentication feature.
