I think, from over 8 years of experience with remove viruses effectively from customers computers, AVAST is the best. then Kaspersky, then trendmicro, then nod32, then all the other Antivirus are useless, they don’t protect, and slow down.
yet, AVAST is best from what i think, it cleans up, doesn’t use much resources. fast installation.

I have been using Vipre antivirus (by Sunbelt) for over a year now, and so far… it’s the best program I’ve ever used. Great customer service and low system resources. Highly recommended.

Avira 10 is problematic, it slow and bloated because of the pro-active module, Avira unlike version 9 which doesn’t have the module – don’t take my word visit the Avira support site. Those that have a floppy drive – it never stops running when scanning that’s how bad V10 is, I’ve gone back to V9.

Just upgraded from bitdefender 2009 to 2010 . the new version is a CPU hog and have a desktop with xp and a lap top with Vista that are both un-useable now as they are so slow . According to the forum they have known of the problem since October and there is no fix . Support does not answer email .

All thanks to this site for the reviews. I’ll like to know the better antivirus between AVG and Avast from your own experience. I’m having a tough choice selecting which one to use. Thanks for your help.

I agree with Anteaus. I am highly skeptical of anyone or website that is rating software based in what is installed on computers. Similarly I never take serious any security software ratings from websites that have security software adverting or links to purchase this software. The one exception is – http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge/results.php. Once you read the process involved in testing and how hard they are on the software companies the ads have absolutely no relationshp to the labs ratings. I did some extensive searches looking of anti-virus testing and kept seeing the same thing about ESET NOD32, it ranks consitently near the top. However, I should point out that their ranking drops when their NOD32 suite is tested. It drops because of the integrated firewall. But as a stand alone anti-virus it is near the top. I’ve never had need to call NOD support, but I have yet to find anyone offering great support.

Amani….ESET NOD32 has the worst support I have ever come across…that being said first it is the best Anti-Virus I have yet worked with.

What about ESET NOD 32? How does it Rank with the rest of the Antivirus?

Saying that an AV product sold by way of enforced preinstall on new computers is popular is a bit like saying HIV is popular because millions of people have it.

Truth of the matter is that the ‘big two’ (Norton/McAfee) operate in this way, and it creates a distorted picture of which AV products people actualy choose, rather then have foisted upon them.
