Kaspersky AntiVirus / Internet Security 2009 v8.0.0.506 released. View the changes in the newer build under Hot articles.

ESET Nod32 AntiVirus / Smart Security Beta v4.0.68 released. Improved self defense is 1 of the over 50 changes in EAV Beta and ESS Beta.

Kaspersky gets my vote. I've used everything else and settled to KIS 8. The only thing is it takes a bit to scan when you try to install something. But I've come to terms with that because it's protection is pretty strong and my system never get infected these days and that's what I actually want.

Here are some useful Link that can become an integral part of this Anti-Virus Thread. The reason is that the site constantly reviews and tests various Security Freewares time to time.

1. Anti-Virus: *www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-anti-virus-software.htm

2. Anti-Spyware: *www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-adware-spyware-scumware-remover.htm

Complete Security freeware list can be found here:

All these are world class and a combination of these will even surpass Paid Software for sure.

I have used all the above mentioned av.
but Windows Live OneCare is the best at detecting or removing.
try me.

 

[Infernal12]

For me, Kaspersky rules.
but im surprised BitDefender has so less votes !!

I am started using AVIRA and it's 10 times faster and better than AVG Detection rate is quite high

 

[comp@ddict]

Hmm, Avira huh. I needed a new AV free, actually Internet Security, considering AVira.

maybe u can use an infinte trial of nod32 2.7

hi guys
My NOD32 Antivirus License is about to expire (yes..legal copy )
Can you'll recommend a free alternative?
I'm stuck between AVG & Avira......
PS. The Kaspersky "free copy from barclays" prob has already been detected
So no KIS for me too

maybe u can use an infinite trial of nod32 2.7

 

[Sathish]

Hmm, Avira huh considering AVira.

pl dont touch it.. its fine only on detection rate and its removal performance is worst..
pL. Keep in mind that Avira (free version) wont remove infections in Registry..
I had this experience. . if u would like to stick with Avira for better detection rate then use an another AV for removing the infections on registry..

So - Best Detection or Best Removal - Choose ur importance.

 

[gopi_vbboy]

Nod32 Ftw!!!

 

[x3060]

+1 Nod32.

 

[mrintech]

Better use Avira + AVG Combination. Turn of Automatic Protection for AVG

^^lol
Defense+ in Comodo dont even let any program inadvertantly modify your registry. Avira + Comodo rocks thats why. No other software is needed unless you are too click happy person and ignore warnings too.
