I am among those kaspersky users with the 'Black key syndrome' i heard the next-best in-line is Esset Nod 32 but depending on how you tweak it

so , im pleading with all the knowledgeably blessed ones to help out if there is nothing on the kaspersky, then which one should we run to for cover? and if the Nod is that good pls can someone outline the the configurations we need to take to make our system a fortress.
Thanks yall
