How to find viruses and best antivirus?

Shaggu · 13 May 2014

Hello guys, I am curious on how to find viruses and RAT's that are hidden, and also what is the BEST OF THE BEST antivirus?

If they are well hidden you won't find them. I would use a good AV security suite, here's a thread with 895 opinions and answers, it's one of a few "Which AV is best" threads.

I would also recommend using MalwareBytes, or/and SuperAntiSpyware link in my sig.

Yep....the "best" virii are the ones you don't see. The one that's on your computer, for instance. (Did I make you look?

)

In recent years all forms of malware have become VERY sophisticated and avoiding detection is a very large part of this. The goal is to avoid detection by the very best AV products with the latest definitions. Many succeed. Even the most powerful tools (dangerous for the inexperienced) in the hands of an expert don't always find them.

I've used it for years with no issues. Internet Security, not 360.

it depends upon your computer confriguation which will be the best . if you have more than 2 gb of ram then use norton

I used it in XP with 512MB of RAM, a lot of RAM at the time.
