Answer:
In my view all the huge antivirus software companies are over rated. I have used Avast Antivirus Home Edition for years now and have had minimal damage to my personal. If you keep Avast on 'High' protection you can filter out all the trojans, virus and spyware that gets downloaded while you're on the web or while transferring files from other peoples pen drives/USB keys.
Try it for yourself. Its free at www.avast.com
Answer:
Thumbs up for Avira as a free antivirus. It constantly reaches highest scores at AV comparatives - a most trusted source of AV tests.
As to Norton and McAfee as popular antivirus suites, they’ve their weak points, mostly in terms of detecting trojans and worms. My experience shows that McAfee VirusScan missed Vundo Trojan - highly perilous malware.
Among paid AV's I'd mention Kaspersky and Bit Defender. Both have neat interfaces and robust scanning engines, being low on system resources (which is very important because we talk about on-going protection, not on-demand scans). Anti-phishing, parental controls, antispam added as long as all common features.
Answer:
Well if it's a free one you want then get AVG, but if you’re looking for a paying one then i would state get bull guardd as it's a great internet security programme because the main thing you should remember is that Mcafee and Norton etc you are paying mostly for the name and not for the quality
Answer:
hi dear. if you are looking for fully free good antivirus program i recommend you open this link and choose a antivirus program that might be suitable for your pc!- http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php
personally i recommend you to use GaruYac AntiVirus 2008 4.1.2.21 some people may not be familiar with it but i think its great to use- http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/G…
Answer:
Avg by far, they are constantly updating, and it doesnt slow your computer down. McAfee ha lots of bloatware with it, so if you want omething thats reliable and doesnt take up unnecessary space on your computer/ laptop, look no further.
Answer:

Answer:
Kaspersky is the ideal but you do have to pay. If you want free then I advocate your try Avira Personal edition. I’ve it and works fine for me.
Answer:
There are 2 really good ones that are free. AVG and Avast
I would not use Norton’s Antivirus or MacAfee unless you’ve some kind of super computer, they slow your Personal computer down a lot.
