Avira question
Does the free version of Avira auto update?
Yes it does, I think. But I haven't had a program update yet. Avira has also recently removed the ad pop-up window and they've also overhauled how updates work, there won't be any major version upgrades anymore. Instead, updates will be modular, so you can choose what parts of an update you want or something like that, you can read about that on their website. I haven't had any annoying pop-ups in avira, but with avast I frequenlty had to close pop-ups..
Best scanner : VirusTotal
Best real-time protection : AppLocker + Virtualization/Sandboxing
Best cleaner : Disk Imaging
There is no such thing as the Best AV, but some pretty good free ones are:
-Avast
-Panda
Currently I have uninstalled avast and I am using Panda antivirus free. It actually is scoring insanely high on the av comparatives and av test websites. It's also a really light AV. So I will see how this goes. In Panda they also have a built in protection against ransom ware which is really cool.
Here is the video for anyone interested:

Panda does not have a addon though, so I am relying on wot due to internet explorer 11 which I have been trying out. Firefox has a lot more options with that. But oh well.
and some - don't forget the on call ones I couldn't do without them either.
Don't forget this lot Probably the Best Free Security List in the World
so what's the best antivirus ? if i use free ones,how it'll be lower than paid ones ? & how much it complete with paid ones ?
so i'm listing some free ones & paid ones.tell me how are these & complete with each other...
1.AVG Free antivirus vs Bitdefender antivirus plus 2014
2.Panda Free antivirus vs Kaspersky
3.Avast antivirus vs bitdefender & kaspersky
4.i also come to know a new one K7 premium antivirus,plz tell me how it is
Thank you all :)
Well Mysterious I pay $50 per year for Kaspersky which = $0.13 a day as against nothing for the free ones. Bitdefender works out at $70 per year. The only difference is I suppose is the cover you get with a free one is probably not going to be so featured as the paid for.
Anyhow on pain of being repetitive see this Probably the Best Free Security List in the World section 2 is the real time stuff.
Personally I would not have AVG McAfee Trend Norton or MSE but that is my preference.
