    Best anti-virus?


    Hi, I'm using Bitdefender 2009 and its almost expiring, so i need to get a new anti-virus. Which is the best nowadays? Cause I remember for 2009 BitDefender was one of the best, but I dont know about 2010. Thanks

    Avast works great with Windows 7. Auto updates itself and it just works! I've used it for years on a lot of systems.

    Currently Microsoft's MSE is only the best and free antivirus program (I am using this). AV-Comparatives. org rated it as good ( malware and leftovers removal), all others shows an average result, expect a few (e-Scan and Symantec) (September 09 report)

    ESET is pretty much the best there is. Most VB awards. Most Av comparatives top honors.

    I have used it since v 2.5 and it can't be matched.

    It's the proven leader!

    If you Google any Anti virus software you will find a Report that tells you that it is the best you can use,and you can also find one that tells you that it is the worst.
    Make a decision do you want to pay for one or want a free one.
    Select one from the main stream AV's that seems to you to do the job and go for it.
    You will find that as this thread gets larger you will find more and more AV programs recommended until you have just about every AV program recommended and you are back where you started

    +1 for avast or Microsoft's SE

    I say avast if your really worried (it feels like it scans stuff better, slower maybe?)
    i know that is very scientific
    Microsoft security essentials is a lot faster with quick scans at least and is pretty lightweight

    I dont know why ppl find MSE as lightweight. I m sure its always between 40-50 MB.
    Lightweight products are Norton 2010 or Kaspersky 2010 which are merely under 10 MB.
