what antivirus do you recommend?

For me, i think the best anti virus is kaspersky..that's what i am using right now..it is very good in detecting viruses..Well, i am currently studying what is the best anti-virus to use, its for my term paper..but it's not yet complete...but i will recommend on what is my findings for the anti- virus that is best to use...

I use Norton. There are many different Norton products that all do different things. Just use the one that's right for you. The only problem is that Norton is a tad expensive, so it's only a good choice if you don't mind spending the money.

My daughter's BF is in the trade and he loaded us all up with Panda. It's reasonably priced, even with all the extras. Only problem is, it can slow down your system when it updates itself, but it won't let anything through. Best I've used so far.

Hi hotblaze welcome to mylot Yes there are tons of them, some are free, some are semi free, means you need to buy them after trial, in my view you go for Microsoft security essentials, i find it THE BEST Lol.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

The two that i would recommend depend on how much you are willing to pay. If you are willing to pay for your antivirus protection, i recommend norton antivirus. I prefer it to mcaffee, but i havent used kaplinshki or whatever the russian one is called. If you dont want to have to pay, check out AVG. THey offer free antivirus protection, which is actually good enough provided you dont download lots of things from dodgey sources, or visit lots of dodgey web pages. It includes a free virus scanner, and a firewall, and an update manager, but you need to pay for some of the other features if you want to upgrade. Hope this helps

I would still go with McAfee if you are just using a home computer. It is very easy to configure in case that you have problems with internet access or anything to that effect. I tried Norton before, well it is good although very expensive.

i am using avg and bitdefender. i think both these are doing really great for my laptop. =)

there are many security suites which they an be good even in their free edition as avg,kaspersky,avast,bitdefender,nod and so on...normally if you stay uptodate and you are careful when you download some strange resource from the ent you can be safe...

Antivirus software is must-have protection. This review picks the best antivirus software for Windows based in part on comprehensive antivirus testing performed by AV-Test. Because every system is unique, you may want to evaluate several of these choices before making your final decision. AV-Test results are based on performance in the second quarter of 2010 on Windows 7 (32-bit version). A total of 19 scanners were included in the AV-Test analysis. Full test results can be viewed at AV-Test.org Some choices listed below were not included in the AV-Test analysis. Last updated: August 2010. . 1. Norton Internet Security Symantec's antivirus products have historically always provided excellent detection and removal of malware. On the downside, that protection came at the price of often crippling system performance. That's now a thing of the past. Performance overhauls were the hallmark of Norton Internet Security 2009, and enhancements continued in the 2010 product line.

Parental controls can be set to accommodate various user types, including time limits imposed on Web surfing. Read Review 4. Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 prevented 81% of the new Web and email malware in the 2Q10 AV-Test analysis. Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 also had the highest scores in detection and removal of existing malware (a 5.5 out of possible 6.0) and for overall usability and performance (also 5.5 out of possible 6.0). This well-roundedness not only earns Kaspersky a spot on the best antivirus to protect against Web and email threats, but also earns it a spot in the overall best antivirus for Windows and a top pick for the best antivirus for netbooks and older PCs.

G Data SecuritySuite G Data SecuritySuite uses two antivirus engines, AVAST and BitDefender. Standalone, both engines offer good detection and when combined each picks up where the other might let off.

AVG Internet Security 9.0 AVG Internet Security 9.0 protected against a 3 month average of 88.7% for new malware delivered via the Web and email. However, while AVG Internet Security 9.0 demonstrated solid ability in the Web/email protection category, it fared less well with removing existing malware, scoring only 4.0 out of a possible 6. While detection of rootkit-enabled/stealth malware was 100%, it's ability to remove existing rootktis/stealth malware was only 57%. Overall usability was good; AVG Internet Security 9.0 scored a 5.0 out of possible 6 in the performance and usability category.

I would recommend Eset Antivirus(nod32 the same) or bitdefender. Those two are currently at the top of the list in the antivirus community. Avoid buying norton its as safe as eset and bitdefender but it makes your pc slow I mean superslow.

3 years I've been using esset smart security and it is protecting my computer from all kinds of viruses. you should try it because esset very easy to use, its memory usage is very small and easy to update the virus data.

For the last couple of months, I have used Microsoft Security Essentials and find it does the job without slowing down my computer. Especially, on my Netbook. And of course..it is free :-)
