Which antivirus is the 'best'?

[AdityaAttri]

Saw many list like
1. BitDefender; 2. Kaspersky; 3. ... etc.
I've used Avast, Ashampoo Antivirus, Quickheal Guardian blah blah and another named 360.

from my experience
Best -- Avast
Worse -- Ashampoo
even more Worse -- Quickheal
Worst -- 360

But Avast too was not that satisfying and i'm fed up downloading and installing all of these and their 30-day trial message.

So, Would anyone suggest a worth keeping Antivirus / Internet Security or should I give a try to BitDefender?

From personal experience, Avast, Bitdefender, Avira, Kaspersky. Best free one I would say Avast without to much system performance impact. Bitdefender is also really good if you are buying it. They offer a 30 day trial. Norton is annoying with its persistent pop ups and system messages but is still good, AVG is terrible uses a lot of recourses , Kaspersky is good also. But personal favourite is bitdefender, as it has a very high rate of getting viruses and at a good price, you can kind of get a bigger discount after the trial when you remove it. : ) it also offers the most features with ease of use.

Bitdefender was decent until 6 months ago , switched to Kaspersky.

McAfree and Panda I think are also choices.
