What is a good virus protection software?

[starflyer]

Coming from owning a Mac the last 10 years and now building a gaming PC for my son. What's a good virus protection software that isn't annoying with pop ups and update requests? I'd prefer something just do it's thing in the background.

Thanks in advance.

I said that bitdefender cleans junk files too. Not, that it only cleans junk. Also, my computer was performing really bad with bitdefender and when I installed forticlient it found 5 viruses approxemately. I just installed ccleaner for cleaning junk which does a much better job than bitdefender in cleaning junk. Finally, the worst thing that has ever happened to me in a computer was caused by bitdefender; Once, a virus got inside my computer and because bitdefender couldn't deal with it, guess what it did? It made my registry read-only and I couldn't remove the virus manually or install programs. How does that sound to you??? Having the #1 antivirus and not being able to deal with such a virus. (Remember, I don't want to offend you and I 'm not saying that this virus was a simple one). Finally, I fixed it myself, but such a problem has not yet been encountered of any of the six systems I'm using that I have installed forticlient.

Hmm very interesting, I guess forticlient seems like a good AV but again that can change anytime
Is it free? if it is I find it amazing then...I should probably talk to the professionals about this AV

OK, I guess you kinda gave up. Don't feel bad, we all make mistakes or believe in wrong things and of course forticlient's success rate could change, just like other antiviruses. I remember qihoo which started very well and now it's just bad!

Not exactly, Professionals state that it needs improvement but has good phishing detection
Alot of what you explained are personal experiences but some are legitimate....It has good detection bit more or close to top AV's out there (BD, Avira, Kaspersky)

Yes it needs improvements in many aspects, like parental control; it has to be on if you want web site protection.
