Hi Vinesh!
Couple of moths ago all computers in my office caught a virus named WORM SOHANAD. I tried lot of Anti-viruses, even re-installed windows 2-3 times but nothing worked. I called a computer programmer but he could also not fix it. Then, I started searching on Internet, I read many articles relating to this virus. The only anti-virus which could fix this problem was "AVIRA". I re-installed the windows then installed AVIRA and made it run. My computer was OK now. Now I have Avira installed in my computer and I do not have any problem with it. It is working perfectly fine. I would suggest you to use AVIRA for best security. You can download it from this link : www.free-av.com

I am presently using AVG and it seems quite safe - its also free. I havent had any major problems in my system ever since I installed it.

My rating will be
1)Avira pro
2)AVG pro
3)Kaspersky
4)bitdefender total security
in addition to this, if you can have avg + spyware doctor with antivirus, then I am sure that you can get out of any mess created by virus. the best part of avg is that they update every 4 hours
