Best virus protection program?
931764
"WHat would be the best virus protection software on the market today?"\n\nWhat does the word "best" mean to you? are you talking about protection, the ability to protect your computer? are you talking about what program that does not drain system resources? Are you talking about customer support?\n\nSee the problem is that... there is no Best AntiVirus. They all have pros and cons. Some are good, most free programs are crap (imho, and in my personal experience) and none are the best.\n\nhere is the "rock paper scissors" of the whole thing...\n\n-an AV that is the best at protecting your computer from viruses will hog system resources.\n-an AV that allows the computer to operate efficiently, will not have the best protection. \n\n-an AV that finishes a scan quickly will probably will not be the most efficient.\n-an AV that takes forever to finish a scan, probably will be the safest.\n\n-an AV that is free usually does not have customer support.\n-an AV that is not free usually does not have GOOD customer support...\n\nso I hope this helps... dont waste your time looking for the best antivirus/firewall program, just get a good one that is right for you that balances protection with efficiency\n\n@moodyboy\n\n"Kaspersky of couse and to all of you who still trust norton and macafee or those sort of sh**...now its time to open your eyes and do your pc or laptop a favor .... email me if u cannot afford to buy it..if u know what i mean. O_O! AVG REALLY SUCK DO NOT USE IT.... "\n\nI do not hold the same opinion as you, and I would go farther to even saying that you are void of any intelligence at all. I do not even think you know why you have such strong faith in "Kaspersky"? Because I know why you hold such a high program in high regards and denigrate other (obviously mainstream) programs. But do you?\n\nMaybe it is really "time [for you] to open your eyes". The reason "kaspersky" would be the "best" antivirus, is because very few (to no) virus writers would take the time to write script to defeat it. The biggest security threat to any if not all programs/av/os's is the more people that use it, the more people will try to edit/manipulate it. Hence, nortan is not as good an av (in your opinion) because.... it is main stream and most companies and consumers use it. By not only increasing the popularity of your av (and by my formula above, making it more "insecure"), you make yourself look... well for lack of a better word... retarted.\n\nAs for your offer of wares? First off, even those of little computer knowledge or experience can get programs off of the internet. You really must be kidding, not only would you be taking money away from the people who created the program that you so diligently promote, but you would even reduce the amount of time that company would put into creating security patches and updates (that is if they have patches and updates to begin with)...\n\nI bet you think you are a mad haxor huh? (getting wares off of the internets? and saying how detrimental it is for peoples to use nortan, and how “AVG REALLY SUCK[s(sic)] DO NOT USE IT” in caps… People like you make people like me laugh.\n\n\n!

Try http://www.avast.com Its free for 30 days, and free for a long time coming if you decide to get a free license for personal use. When it runs out, just get a new personal license for free.\n\nIts really good, providing many forms of protection for P2P, Email and standard protection at real time. Definitions are automatically updated and are updated regularly. The real-time protection stops viruses as they are detected, without having to manually start a scan.\n\nI've used it for a while, no problems caused by the application.\n\n[It even updated while I was typing this answer...it's that good]

The Best One by far is Mcaffee hands down. Norton places a heavy "footprint" on your computer everything slows down once it's installed. If you want a headache get Norton. As for Mcaffee? Don't go out and buy it from the store because it also puts too many files on your puter. Go online to their website and download the "Web Version" It's pretty cheap I think 14 bucks a year and best of all it will check for updates on it's own everytime you access the internet. It's quiet, runs in the background and is always up to date. I've tried bunches of AV, and I think this is the best!

Neither program has a very high virus detection rate. Expect them to not detect about 10% of all viruses. Some paid solutions such as Kaspersky miss less than one half of one percent.\n\nThat being said I use Avast (you can't beat the price). And it uses about 15 to 18 mb on my comp.

AVG works best in tandem with programs like Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware, and one other free antivirus of your choice (like say Mcafee Stinger).\nTrusting your system to only one antivirus or trojan/spyware detector is just suicidal. No ONE program will detect everything.\nPS - Norton is the best....at slowing your system down, hogging system resources...screwing up if you try to uninstall it...taking forever to do full system scans...yup...Norton is the best at SUCKING LARGE.

Bit Defendor isn't free; however, Avast is usually the highest rated free antivirus.  Check pcworld.com for a review.
