What do you think is the best antivirus program? Ive got AVG paid edition and people always tell me avast and kaspersky is better. If they are better please tell me why as I may buy it. :) I dont know alot about antivirus stuff but apparently Norton is the worst Lol. |

I like Avast, is my AV of Choice and the one I use to fix viruses on PC's people bring me :P Features: Continuous protection against viruses and spyware Ensures all mails sent and received are clean Protects you from "chat" infections Stops attacks from hijacked websites Provides community-based website reputation rankings Lets you safely browse suspicious websites or applications Enables a new (clean) desktop window, for total online privacy Blocks hacker attacks to prevent identity theft Keeps your mailbox spam-free Usage: Sending emails Chatting Surfing popular websites Surfing high-risk websites Shopping and banking online Storing or sending sensitive/financial data Technology: Antivirus and anti-spyware engine Real time anti-rootkit protection File System / Mail Shield Web Shield IM / P2P Shield Network Shield Behavior Shield Script Shield avast! Sandbox avast! AutoSandbox avast! SafeZone Silent Firewall Antispam I forgot to include that it has the best shield, best detection rate, updates 2 or 3 times a day, consumes less resources and less RAM unlike the other AVs and of course it is the only one w/ a gaming mode and the only sandbox system for 64 bits computers :) Ok, none of that stuff works! Comodo, uses DACKS tech ... Auto sandbox with Hips Tech (host intrusion prevention system), Uses White listing instead of Blacklisting.. has Behavior shield, have Cloud scanner, One of the best firewalls, Has Cloud behavior... Have Real-time Sandbox (when an unknown file is picked up, no matter if it's bad or safe, it is send to comodo Labs for file check and then it's know as good or safe) You know when You get AV updates? Well that is a files that have the listings of bad files (no AV, can have 100 % bad file list(always miss some files), so that The AV can get the bad file.. Well comodo doesn't work like that, comodo has a Good file list, wich have all the good files from software makers on it and other files is bad/unknow... BAD files is deleted and unknown files is Sandboxed and monitored by the HIPS module, also send to Comodo labs for testing.... Comodo also have DNS servers for bad websites, email and spam links.... Comodo uses 10-20 MB of ram and is fast! Trust me I also thought nothiung was better than Avast and kaspersky! but Since I used this program, I have yet to infect my main Computer... And the best part of it all is, IT'S 100% free.... Comodo also challenged Norton and Kaspersky at AV test's and they protected the compute 100% while Norton had to wait a while so the Updates could come to the bad files running in memory. What does this prove? Other AV'S CLEAN THE COMPUTER ... COMODO PROTECT THE USER... IF PROTECTED< THERE IS NOTHING TO CLEAN. see comodo working yourse;f @ http://antivirus.comodo.com/ . And trust me COMDODO EVEN USES THE REAL NORTON/KASPERSKY/NOD BOXES TO SHOW THAT THEY DON"T PROTECT! THEY WILL EVEN GIVE YOU $500 IF YOUR PC GET'S INFECTED!! SHOW ME AN AV THAT WILL DO THAT! |

My mom used to work for Kaspersky, so I have a bunch of copies for free- including nice licensing. But I've never really used it. I just don't need antivirus. I can tell whether something's a virus or not by looking at it. I've been using computers for a while, and I think I know enough to know something's wrong when I download a picture and it asks me if it's OK to run a script with root access. |

there is no such thing about the best antivirus... pick any antivirus that YOU want.. 1
So there wont but much differnce with virus detection with other programs? Or better peformance? i think avast is great! and both and don't forgot the free edition! you need to re-register every year too! The best antivirus is to be careful and not do dumb things. And yes, Norton is the most awful of them all. there is a best AV product... Comodo which uses white listing instead of blacklisting! http://goo.gl/zAoAs

avast is one of my fav. security solution;is light, not slowing pc and not affect pc(w7) performance |

If you're going to a free option then choose either Avast! or Microsoft Security Essentials. Both are light on system resources and do a good job of protecting you as far as free software goes. If you want to buy your protection then go with either Kaspersky or NOD32. |
