Hey guys,
Today I thought that, what is the best AV software for my computer. What you guys think?
Fastest AV?
Best AV?
The most secure AV?
Much more.. Please, don't send me any statistic's I want YOUR's advice
I expect someone to give me a nice overview of AV's
Thanks,
Intsu
I did use Avast for a while but it seems to be getting a bit heavy with system resources, have now switched to Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows
Unfortunately it's like asking what your preferred alcoholic beverage is, you'll get a ton of different answers. I use Trend Micro Titanium and Malwarebytes. By the way I'm a red wine, margarita and single malt man myself ! lol
MSE for me.
The most commonly recommended programs on this forum are probably Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast, with Malware Bytes often recommended as a complementary application.
The most recent versions of Norton have a pretty good reputation if you prefer to pay.
McAfee is the one most often NOT recommended.
There are dozens of threads on this topic in the Security section, available via a search.
haha, nice linnemeyerFor me i think i don't use any AV's because I'm not downloading crapp. no.. Windows firewall for me, lol
For fastest, Avast is a good choice, I'm using it at work, but gives way too many false positives, and is full of advertisements.
The best I know is Kaspersky, I use it at my desktop at home and goes really well, but is quite slow and a resource hog, however it catches may viruses and has a good detection ratio.
MSE is nice because it doesn't has any ads (because it's the only I know that doesn't has a paid version), but lacks in many aspects and is not something I would recommend to anyone. Quite fast too.
Personally, I would choose Kaspersky if you want to afford some money for it. Otherwise stick with the free Avast or Avira.
Avast put into silent/gaming mode
