anti-virus or acronis

Thread needs solution

I have found that if Acronis True Image is turned on, Windows anti-virus is turned off in my Win 10 system. Which is the better combination: Acronis or Windows with Malware?

Jor, this is a user choice that you should make for yourself.

The Acronis Cyber Protection feature requires either an Advanced or Premium subscription in order to have full protection, and when used will automatically disable Windows Defender.

If you have only a Standard (perpetual) or Essential (subscription) licensed version of ATI, then you only get the Acronis Active Protection feature with an offer of a trial of the Cyber Protection which will then nag you after the trial ends if you do not sign up for the required subscription!

Personally, I do not want or use Acronis Cyber Protection (my user choice) and prefer to stay with Windows Defender & Firewall protection which has served me just fine for many years.

Jor,

The workings of Acronis Cyber Protection is as Steve describes across the product line.  Your question however is:

"Which is the better combination: Acronis or Windows with Malware?"

My response to that question is different than Steve however, as he states it is a personal choice.  For myself I like the fact that Acronis protection offers a distinctive edge over other malware products and Windows itself such as  Global threat monitoring and smart alerts as well as real-time protection with AI-based static and behavioral heuristic antivirus, antimalware, antiransomware, and anticryptojacking technologies.  There are other features to like as well and I look for Acronis to sweeten the feature set with other attractive abilities that other solutions at this point just cannot match.

Acronis recently secured a $250 million investment in Cyber Protection which will help drive the advancement of the product line.  Of course the cost of this is a subscription pricing model so if you dislike that aspect you would probably be better served elsewhere.
