What is the Best AntiVirus?

[BloggerAdmin]

I really like AVG, not to mention I'm cheap and a lot of the purchasable ones are so bloated in price and slow with updates. I tried Avira and didn't prefer it, it really had an ugly (IMO) interface and was not very user-friendly (might just be me, though) - I go a bit overboard, though, and do weekly (Saturday) scans on my computer, set one right after the other (AVG, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D) after my spouse almost fried our computer with some wicked malware and virus issues, I've sort of learned my lesson.

personally, I like Kaspersky and Bitdefender, just that BD takes up a bit more usages..

By far the best/most protecting Anti virus program is Avira. You NEED to check this program out. they do offer a free version, same database as the premium, just not those extra things =P

Personally i do not use AV's but my suggestion would be either AVG or Estnod32 (easy) estnod usally picks up everything and just makes it disapear before you even find out yourself AVG of course is a little bigger and alerts you more often...out of the 2 i would say AVG cause they update more often and alot :P

Well, BitDefender is really good.

But the additional load really bothers me.

Currently I'm using BitDefender.

Well, Avast. Simply because it's free and does an excellent job.

Plus, the screensaver is nice for lazy people.

Mac OS X Flurry ported to Windows, plus avast scanning at the same time, plus my laziness = win.

I believe that a lot of people that use Kaspersky don't pay for it, but recently that got a lot harder.

Very True (nor do I- I just reset the trial or use some anonymous key) BUt its worth buying if u ask me!

I would go with a Norton (note : there is a mistake with the spelling given on the poll) installation, b'coz there is this gurantee that they will give you a 10 year complete support free of cost, if you can report any virus that their scanner cannot 'detect'.

Do u care abt a a 10 year free protection or the safety of ur computer?

I've got to transfer files from school, and public computers always have viruses (even though, they use Kapersky) I've tried Avast and Norton AV, but I think neither of them is good enough. However, after I installed Nod32, it always detects and cleans the viruses in my pendrive, that's why I believe this is the best AV.

Just because some Avs catch a lot of viruses doesnt mean its good u know!(it might be false detections.
I use kaspersky and the only thing that bothers me is the startup.Since I started using KIS (last year) i never had to format am PC (win xp) due to a virus.
And if at all some virus gets into ur comp, its best to remove them manually (i usally goole abt them) rather than depending on Avs

AVG works great for me ;).

I just recently got myself a copy of a multi-license for Kaspersky Anti-Virus...
The license works for 14,000 computers!

I crossed off my info and license number, cuz you don't need to see that ;)

Wow, that is a lot of licenses. How much did that cost in general? I'm guessing a lot?
