Hi, I'm looking for the best or very good antivirus software to help protect my computer but there's so many programs claiming this, that and the other as well as the amount of computer sites where one might say AVG is the best and another might say PC-Cillin is the best that I'm completely confused on which one to get.

So, if any of you could recommened me or tell me which antivirus software is currently the leader that would be most helpful. By the way, I did look through other posts before creating this one, but they seemed to consist of people asking for free antivirus software, which mostly turned up as AVG. I am willing to purchase anti-virus software in order to keep my computer protected from those *pesky viruses*.


Thanks in advance,

avast! Home Edition (the free one) is the best. I was using Norton, McAfee, Panda and AVG. They still can't beat avast - free and good.
 
I have been using Kaspersky for 3 yesrs now and I have to say it dosent slow down your computer even a bit. Its has updates every day. it can detect viruses that other virus programs cant see. I would recomend Kaspersky.
 
Pc-illin has to be the best. I had Norton all the versions and worked ok but did not update quickly. Pandad is great if you got a good system because on older systems it just slow them down. AVG was not good could not remove all viruses.
 
I'm gonna give Avast a try and put AVG to a rest for now. As SirKenin said in another thread, it doesn't seem to actually do anything for me right now, I just run it. Maybe Avast will show me something new?
 
For free I rather like AVG Free Edition, if your willing to pay, I would recommend Nod32. Well worth the money.
 
antivir is the best and it's free....check out the awards they got. I believe they have the highest detection rate. I love it.
 
This review compares Avast!, Antivir and AVG.

AVG was worser in everthing than Avast! and Antivir.

Avast has the highest rate of zoo virus detection and it was the best for Adware and Spyware removal. However Antivir was the best at scanning compression or archive type.

When they tested the scanner's ability to detect traditional virus threats, Antivir had the highest detection rate, and AVG had the lowest detection rate.
When they included adware/spyware removal in the test, Avast had the highest detection rate while AVG had the lowest detection rate.
 
Seem's I'm now changing to Antivir :) Thank you for the link. Whats the official website for Antivir? Anyone know?

Well, even though this is an oldie revived, I'd like to state that I never moved to Antivir, and that I infact (With the aid of SirKenins constant rating) moved to Avast! :). Very good AV this is, most definitely better, in my opinion, than AVG.

Too right! According to my friend who was using AVG, he had no viruses at all, I tell him about the results on comparisons of AV's that I was shown on this forum, he moved to Avast, and after install, he found a nice bundle of viruses that AVG seemed to have not picked up.

So, this proves that Avast can find more viruses than AVG :D
