I think you need you read this. The only thing that's funny about this is how off the mark you are.

If by "virus" he meant "malware", Win 10 is malware.

But if you agreed to the TOS, not a trojan.

A trojan does not ask for your permission before it datamines, disrupts computer operations (AKA updates), profiles and pushes ads on you.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware

 

"Malware, short for malicious software, is any software used to disrupt computer operations, gather sensitive information, gain access to private computer systems, or display unwanted advertising."

Ring a bell ?

Back On Topic - Kaspersky and Bitdefender here. From Linux. Bitdefender sucks at false positives.

As to AV comparatives, best with a pinch of salt. Pick any three, and you get three different scores.

They have bad rep because they conned everyone who wasted money on their lifetime license only to realise afterwards that it only allowed 1 activation so if your pc died you also lost your Vipre lifetime license because it would never activate on another pc. Then they sold the company, took all the money and ran away... lol.

 

Kaspersky has lots of issues and sometimes breaks Windows 10 because Kaspersky is not updating their software to stay fully compatible with the latest Windows 10 OS updates. I remember doing a clean install when Threshold 2 was released then the first app I installed was Kaspersky and all of a sudden Windows installer service was busted and that was the end of everything because nothing else could be installed. I know everyone will have their own experiences but this was mine and I refuse to pay a company to destroy my computer. So I reinstalled the OS and unwillingly went with another AV.

It's not malicious or hostile. It is the OS. the very thing I seek to protect along with my files. How can the system possibly be detrimental to itself. It's not malware, your thinking is flawed.

Someone mentioned on wilders forums that Vipre now uses all the technology of Bitdefender including AVC i.e Active Virus Control.
