[ Closed ] Best Anti-Virus, -Malware Tool?

There is no best option per se. Your best option is to run several products alongside each other. Relying upon one alone will always miss something. That one you've posted the link to seems to be a general cover everything type programme, (with misleading statistics, might I add). I'd personally suggest running tools which are designed for each specific area. They tend to be far better in their specific field.

Yeah. Those statistics they've posted seem mostly to be compared to specialised scanners though, so obviously they will only detect what they are designed for. Plus, they don't give the reverse figures of what they miss which other products catch. Those figures are purely marketing hype.

Not if you run the decent products they won't. I wouldn't touch Norton/McAfee with a bargepole, (or anyone elses for that matter). Anti-virus wise, ClamAV/ClamWin is a nice cross platform option. Spyware, there are plenty of options for.

i use norton internet security 2009 with spyware terminator, and already installed windows defender.

check this site for comparison: http://www.av-comparatives.org/

eset is also good. but norton 2009 is completely different from older versions. its the Best.

I agree with her, I've been using Avast for a couple of months.

where can I get this Avast? I'm interested on that. I'm not that techie person. Pls guide me. Thanks!

Me, I prefer AVAST. I like its boot-time scan feature that scan and fix the system prior to loading the OS. Been using it for quite sometime now (the Home Ed.)

i use Kaspersky 7.2 and it has been working reasonably well for me

I only prefers to use the Kaspersky anti virus. It is working really very well for me. It helps me a lot to get the recent updates there. It really helps your computer to prevent the intrusion of the virus easily. It is very useful for anyone to protect your computer in a desired way.

I use several and it seems to be working although lately I keep getting the sorry page on google and can't figure out what is going on. It says that there are automated requests being performed by my computer when I try to search for something. I've run Avira, MS Security Essentials and Ad-Aware and can't find anything that is causing the problem.

I just use AVG free, but have been looking for a new AV/malware tool, useful thread.

Will check some of these out.
Last time I tried kaspersky it sucked but it's been a few years so I'll try it again. 

If you want free version, get AVG Anti-Virus. If you able to get commercial one I recommend you to get Norton. I'm suggesting Norton because among all the commercial Anti Virus I have used, Norton seems to be having the best User Interface. Besides that, they've been there quite long time. They knows their customers expectation.
