What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
Avira Prime
Avira Prime — Good for users who like privacy-focused extras and a simpler interface, but it is generally not the strongest pure-security pick.
Perplexity
Malwarebytes Premium
Malwarebytes Premium — A sensible choice for people who prioritize a straightforward interface and strong anti-malware reputation, but I would usually choose Bitdefender, ESET, or Norton first because its recent AV-Comparatives result was slightly lower and it was penalized for false positives.
