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.
I was wondering about those statistics. Kind of give the impression they catch everything and competitors don't catch X'XXX.
They all say in their installation options not to run others alongside I thought? Some don't even let you install if they've detected certain other known products.(McAfee?)

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 ESET Smart Security.
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.
Avast is very good; I never had a problem with viruses and malware with this one

I agree with her, I've been using Avast for a couple of months.
Avast + malwarebytes anti malware and a little bit of common sense
where can I get this Avast? I'm interested on that. I'm not that techie person. Pls guide me. Thanks!
I use ESET Smart Security.
This was suggested by one of our tech guys, but obviously, it's not as strict as Avira, as eventually a few bugs got through it.
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'm using prevx and am VERY happy with it. It's the best I've seen so far. Previously I had Norton Suite and various free AV programs and they didn't always protect me nor got rid of every infection.
i use Kaspersky 7.2 and it has been working reasonably well for me
Thanks to share this information.
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.
Yes AVAST!
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 have a combo made of Kaspersky and Malwarebytes AV. Have been using Avast with some success before, but I could see the differences (using Symantec AV Corporate at work), so that could not remain as an option.
Interesting enough - the full version of Malwarebytes has a real-time IP protection module, and it can also run at scheduled times. If the bug is on their list, you'll only notice the removal and everything is done with minimum costs in terms of memory and CPU (under Windows 7 at least). If you want the full version, you can save a few dollars with a Malwarebytes coupon code shared by users
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.
avast for sure
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.
I like ProteMac NetMine. It is for Mac.
Common Sense v1.0
Google it.
That's quite a statement
As far as anti malware, Spybot is very nice.
