What is the BEST ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE?

[jamac666]

Hi Everyone!

I was just thinking to myself as to what the best antivirus program is. I know that AVG is ace but what are the real alternatives?

I use AVG free, Microsoft Security Essentials, NodEST, Comodo Internet Security + Firewall and IObit Security (not antivirus software but assists in the war against malware!)

Thanks

avira or avast free antivirus.best free firewall is pc tools firewall plus!and malwarebytes free spyware!

You can't use all of those together!! Only ONE A-V resident, although you can scan on demand with others!!

NOD has been found to be the best of the paid suites in recent independent lab tests, as reported in Maximum PC Mag.

Free ones -- as Ugly-Face said.

Stay far from IOBIT products. They've been accused of stealing all of MBAM's definitions. Chinese pirates.

yeah but he is virus free!!!!!!!!!!!lol

Only funny if he also understands what I'm saying, otherwise he'll be back with other major problems.

there are plenty of good AV software on the market, the only thing that you should do is to make sure that it will work on your computer and will be easy to use, you can download the free trial to test those software you can find the trials on websites such as downloadinternetsecurity.com, cnet.com etc.

I've heard from many people that they prefer Avira, Avast, or AVG. I don't think you should be using all of those anti-virus programs at once, because they may conflict with each other. If you're happy with AVG though, you don't really need an alternative.

 

[verbalizer]

anybody using more than one at a time or all of those at once is a fool and or paranoid skitzo.
just try the new comodo version that just came out a week ago.
pretty nice.

Meant to say "or", I edited the post. I haven't heard of Comodo though, I'll check it out.

Here's a great site with lots of free and useful software. They also do a pretty good job breaking things down in order of what's good and not.
