Kaspersky or Emsisoft by far. Kaspersky is by far #1 though. |

There is nothing like best antivirus. Any antivirus of your choice must be updated from time to time for effective performance 1 Like |

Fulaman198:how about the Best Antivirus For Android Phones. Does anyone have any ideas? |
Re: Best Anti-virus For Your Computer by Fulaman198(m): 9:44pm On May 24, 2015 |
Ndulex: Kaspersky has one of the best if not the best protection against 0 day malware (Malware that is formed the same day). Also, whenever there are security vulnerabilities, Kaspersky is always the first to find out about it. |
Re: Best Anti-virus For Your Computer by Fulaman198(m): 9:45pm On May 24, 2015 |
femi4: That's not true at all, some Virus detection software are better than others at keeping up with 0 day threats and searching for Malware. There are tests online that illustrate this. Please stop living in a cave. |
Re: Best Anti-virus For Your Computer by Fulaman198(m): 9:46pm On May 24, 2015 |
webcrawler: I'm not too familiar with what's the best for Android. I would assume Kaspersky would be, but Android isn't at threat as much as Windows OS is yet (though it will eventually get there). |
Re: Best Anti-virus For Your Computer by femi4: 11:30pm On May 24, 2015 |
Fulaman198:You must be poor in thinking and understanding. Virus detection capabilities of any antivirus reduces without virus definition updates from time to time. Your so called "best antivirus" can be ineffective today if a new threat emerges. Perhaps, you want to know that those ratings you see online are based on different factors and users bias |
Re: Best Anti-virus For Your Computer by Fulaman198(m): 12:05am On May 25, 2015 |
femi4: that has nothing to do with this discussion and you are talking way out of point. You don't even know what you are talking about. In regards to Anti-virus software with 0 day protection and highest detection rates, Kaspersky is indeed #1. Who doesn't update their Security suite often? Doesn't make sense. McAfee and Norton have since decreased in their 0 day protection virus detection. There are videos all over the internet for this. At least know what you are talking about first before posting rubbish. |

Fulaman198:Next time, don't jump into what you don't understand. |
Re: Best Anti-virus For Your Computer by Fulaman198(m): 12:17am On May 25, 2015 |
femi4: Sorry to inform you, it's you that doesn't understand. Do you even know what zero day malware is? |
Re: Best Anti-virus For Your Computer by JoseRaji(m): 7:18am On May 26, 2015 |
@Op this is what I use and it protects me effectively. but to keep it at optimum performance, you have to update it regularly (daily if possible). http://www.filetie.net/2014/12/bitdefender-total-security-2015-full.html?m=1 just pick the one intended for your version of windows, download the crack file also. instructions are included there. 1 Like |

kaspersky makes pc slow,if ur ram is nt up to 4G,am sorry u wont enjoy ur pc,AVG,AVAST are also good but the major thing is daily updating ,if not whatever antivirus u use wil be rendered useless 1 Like |

dejavume: When was the last time you used Kaspersky? Kaspersky is one of the lightest suites out there, don't know where you get that from. In any case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yyxVf8nLW8 |
Re: Best Anti-virus For Your Computer by Fulaman198(m): 6:04pm On May 31, 2015 |
litaninja: It's Malware that occurs at the spur of the moment. Thus, since Malware is constantly being created, it's important that malware detection engines are able to detect malicious activity within the 0 day malware even if the virus definition may not be available. |
