@Devirusare
Thanks for the BitDefender free antivirus information.
Useful overview.
I’m using avast Home edition http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html that may be added to the list.
What about MSSE?
We run an Internet Cafe and have found AVG to be the best anti-virus software
install panda cloud av first before installing avast to gain compatible between two antivirus
Antivir 10 is simply SHIT….he let pass 2 worms 1 trojan,plus an rootkit……..Antivir is not what it have been in the past 2 years…….Im sticking with Avast….
I’ve installed panda but its disapointed..
My PC still get the viruses from internet…
now i will try comodo…
like your recomendation to use that’s antivirus
@Aryo,
Can you explain why you disappoint with Panda ?
At least, techmixer reader know what the problem that let you down. 🙂
I’ve installed Antivir but its disapointed.. :(( how can Antivir let conficker ruin my days??
Now I try Avast!.. Hope it’ll be better..
You don’t need anti-virus protect with Linux! 🙂 Try Ubuntu. Very nice..
@George,
Linux is a nice operating system to use due to low virus attack and less malware attacking.
But i believe Linux OS still need an antivirus software to protect your linux platform because we can’t guarantee that Linux OS will not effected by Virus forever.
PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY OTHER ANTI VIRUS EXCEPT AVG. AVG IS THE ONLY ANTI VIRUS OTHER THERE BECAUSE OF ITS DETECTION RATE, BARELY USE ANY RESOURCE AND ITS FREE
GO TO http://www.avg.com TO DOWNLOAD AVG FOR FREE
@Bob,
There is no doubt that AVG antivirus free edition is the most download free anti virus on the planet.
I’ve been trying all kinds of AV. be it free or paid. So far this is what i found. For paid AV, Panda Global Protection 2010 is the best but not perfect. For free AV, i have not found one that is reliable… Try combining your free AV with ZoneAlarm free Firewall.
Guys. The (good) Anti-Viruses are not free. But when you want a free Anti-Virus then use AVG. its not the best Anti-Virus but its best free.
I have used all anti-v here the (best) free AV is AVG
I think Microsoft security essentials,Avast 5,And Bitdefender 10 should be on 1,2,3 position simultaneously.As they are free and provide the best protection .MSE detection rate is far high than most of the paid products with less no. of false positives
but i does not have features like that in Avast and it does not have as good interface and details like Avast have and Bitdefender is my favourite one but in case of free i must put it down to no. 3.
I THINK THAT MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS IS THE BEST FREE ANTI VIRUS
AND ALSO IT IS VERY EASY TO USE
is norton also a good anti virus??
Yes Norton is a top 10 antivirus. However, Norton antivirus is commercial product, which cost 40USD
AVG ROCKS!!!! for windows user or use UBUNTU
