July 15, 2015 - Good antivirus
software is an invaluable tool for keeping your computer, your personal
information, and the security of your friends and family safe from hackers,
identity thieves, and spammers. The damage a single virus can do is astounding.
Today's viruses have the capability to do everything from sending your personal
information like credit card numbers and bank accounts to identity thieves to
turning your computer into a slave that will send out spam e-mail messages,
attack websites, or do pretty much anything else the virus maker wants it to.
And on top of that, viruses are programmed to seek out your contacts and try to
infect them as well. Odds are good that if your computer gets infected,
everybody in your contacts is going to be receiving an e-mail message or IM
that looks to be from you and contains the same virus you got.
A good antivirus program will typically cost a bit, but will be nothing
compared to the cost of losing your files and your identity. Below are the top
ten best antivirus software companies around. Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you
think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for
others to vote on or create your own version of this list.
+350I have done beta testing on anti-virus suites for years.
For 2009, I found Kaspersky to be the best AGAIN.
I tested Kaspersky, Norton, Webroot, ESET, McAfee and G-DATA.
I tested 200 different malicious files.
Kaspersky detected 198 of those files with zero false positives.
Norton detected 198 of those files with zero false positives.
Webroot detected 195 with zero false positives.
(I'm only showing results from the top three. )
Real-Time Protection:
I went to infected websites and downloaded infected files, pictures, etc.
Out of 35:
Kaspersky detected 35.
Norton detected 33.
Webroot detected 35.
So, the best anti-virus is:
1. Kaspersky
2. Norton
3. Webroot
+135Powerful! And easy to use, Fantastic Parental control and other features
+82its obvious that the kaspersky the world's number 1 antivirus for me it is the best among the best antivirus bongatious so if I were you please choose kaspersky because kapersky and me knows the best
[Newest]It is the best ever
+256It's free and there's until now I never had a problem with it! It's a good anti-virus! And it's pretty fast!
+194It is the best antivirus software ever. Detects virus and deletes viruses but never slows down my computer.
+189It offers the most protection than any free anti-virus product out there. Plus, it's effective! Should be no. 1 in the free category.
-1[Newest]As effective as Microsoft security essentials
+91- Has caught all viruses so far :)
- Good heuristic protection (both generic and behavioural - Identity
Protection)
- Anti-Rootkit module
- Offline virus DBs to download - a BIG plus from my point of view
- Last but not ;east, it's TRULLY free (no catches, unlike other
"free" AVs out there)
+92I used norton and kaspersky but they were too heavy. AVG solved all my problems silently.
+78just great great antivirus... what a brain they have to make such a antivirus... the programming is real good... and it cleans every bit of viruses
[Newest]It's very helpful.
Symantec (Norton)
+62IT is the best antivirus in the present in the market everyone should try it because it keeps your pc in the best form
+58I've been using this for years and its still amazing! I've also tried Kaspersky and Norton is a lot better
+48Yes I like norton the best antivirus ever as I am using it
since 1995,
It is the only antivirus that give removal tool for specific virus.
[Newest]As suites go number one
ESET
+107ESET is the best antivirus yet, it is very fast, it don't
slow down your system unlike norton and kaspersky.
I had norton before, it almost crashed my system despite the fact that my PC
has good specs(2.1GHz duo core HP Pavilion dv6)
Am now using ESET now, it's amazing with daily updates to keep your system
protected, since I've had it, I don't know what a computer virus is, believe
me, I can comfortably surf the internet without no threat, even visit sites
with high virus alert with no system intrusion because I have ESET.
It's the best user friendly antivirus available, very easy to operate and
schedule your scans, system inspection and others things.
I can't see myself giving up my ESET to have another antivirus, one can't
condescend from the best to something lower, ESET is the best by a mile,
believe me
+74I use ESET because I was tired of other av programs that sucked the power out of my operating system. I love their products and use them in every computer I own.
+60Most successful Slovak company. Daily updates automatically are convenient and keep computer safe from new threats. Have not had one malware/viral breach in the 8 months I've had it. Has worked better and more subtly so than Norton or McAfee.
-1[Newest]Best anti virus I have used
McAfee
+33Solved problems with malware and trogans that webroot avg and Symantec (Norton) could not. Norton is not worth the price, three anti virus failed identified the problem could not remove. Mc Afee installed updated on first scan identified Trojans and malware removed them all. Can be pricey software but worth the money if all else fails. If I start using windows again (using Linux). I will get Mc Afee (normally get a year free with bank accounts) and see how good it is again. But linux has no need for AV + virues and trogans in exe form don't install only on VM software (on linux) which can be deleted total because the root can't be infected. No need to scan that can take hours with a deep scan with Tb of data.
+35it is the best and it has things that can also tell you from first that which of the sites are infected. and the main thing is that it does not slow down your pc at all. none of the antivirus are as good as it is
+31Mcafee is a light weight yet powerful antivirus. it is protecting my laptop for almost a year. Kaspersky slows the computer down which McAfee doesn't
-1[Newest]My computer remains safe with McAfee Anti-virus.
Microsoft Security Essentials
+88Free, and I've been running it since day one. It's really a fantastic piece of software, and I haven't so much as had a virus since I started using it.
JoshUK
+89Free & easily handle to use this anti-virus... 100% my system is working properly...
+80MSE is the best and also free. The only remark is it heats up the pc while you are scanning your pc...
[Newest]The best anti virus I ever had
BitDefender
+82In latest tests BitDefender gets the best marks for detection and removal of malicious software and every threat on internet, in AV Test BitDefender has the highest protection marks (better then Kaspersky & Norton), last several years gets the best (Advanced ) marks on AV-Comparatives, many antivirus-test companies clame that BitDefender is the best
+39BitDefender is by far the most effective security suite for
Windows on the market. These guys have a leading research team which, in many
cases, is the first to identify newly formed malware. Their suites have an
excellent, frequent definitions update implementation, coupled with a
rock-solid detection engine that consumes little system resources. They also
have an excellent firewall and privacy options.
The only good, free option is Microsoft's own Security Essentials. In fact,
considering its effectiveness compared to other free alternatives, as well as
its light footprint, it is very underrated.
As for others:
-Kaspersky is all-around good, but doesn't offer nearly as much value for the
money. Also, their reliability has been waning as of recently.
-Norton is garbage which is plagued by inconsistent performance, ...See More
