Avira Anitvir Personal is quite good.

Used it to scan infected documents, setup prog and many in a drive. It detected and repaired all the infected.

then

Scanned the same drive with Kaspersky, Norton, Avast (all premium) they didn't detect any infection.


So, it proves that Avira Personal AntiVirus ain't that bad.

Oh! It is free.

Comodo is also good.

Guys!!! Guys!!! Guys!!!

Wait!,
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by donsity(m): 2:25pm On May 04, 2010
Guys!!! Guys!!! Guys!!!

Everyone is talkin this is best, that is best, and i wonder How you come to know this, the fact is, there are many antivirus publishers because of the upsurge of different kinds of viruses on the internet today. record has it that over 30,000 virus are created everyday, so people create antiruses believing that they will successfully sell their products. but we know that despite the numerous antirus names that are coming up everyday, there are only a handful of key players in the game today.

Clearly, no single antivirus is the best, all antivirus have what is called a "virus definition database" this is what determines the number of virus the anitvirus can recognise and deal with, based on their known behaviors. newer antirus publisher may succeed in gaining popularity for being able to remove new viruses, but that does not mean they are the best, because they are very likely to fail you when older virsuses attack. Again the top antivirus may only have only one or two advantages over each other.

I am Nigerian but i'm based in India, and i'm a (white hat hacker too) here in india, hacking and toying with virus is like regular checking of mail or facebooking in naija, I have dealt with many viruses and many antiviruses and i've found that unless you kno hackin skill, no antivirus is 100% foolproof. nonetheless i recommend only Norton Products not because they are the best per say, but because they are most reliable. but if you are using Avast, Macafee, AVG, Kapersky, i advice you to still keep them because they are also very good.

Those who say Norton is a pain in the neck, i understand your plight, I once hated Norton far back 2004/2005 but now i realised it was due to inexperience. Norton will be a pain in your neck if you try to crack it or use fake liscence unlike AVG and Avast. but somethings the problem may come from your OS too.

I don't know much on the pros and cons of the other antivirus you guys have stated here, but i strongly recommend that you don't
use Bitdefender and NetProtector. these two antiviruses are loud noise makers but they are easily hijacked remotely by hackers.
NetProtected particularly has a virus injected within it's source code. the virus does not execute until it is uninstalled.
I'm using Windows7, and i'v seen it crash alot of systems.

Moreso, If you want to really test the power of all the (over 40) antivirus in the market today, I'll like you to visit this website
www.virustotal.com all you need to do is to take a known virus file and upload it to their site, they'll scan it with all the differnt antiviruses and give you result, this will really help you to recognise and appreciate the best antiviruses, and you will also find that most of the names you've been listing here are not as reliable as you think.
And Did I Forget To say that virustotal.com is a safe website?, please don't be scared, it's a a good website

I hope this will help someone out there, and if you need a virus to do your testing with, you can ask from me, i have over 65 different virus and 7 virus creators.

P.S A Hacker is not a bad person, What he does with his knowledge is what determines if he's a good person or not. I urge you to learn hacking for your own safety too.

Have fun

Re: Best Antivirus To Use by tomzyfire: 1:23am On May 05, 2010
@ donsity, please i have this thing in my system and my recovery partition ''RECYCLE.BIN' it even got into my external hard drive and i have tried deleting it and it keeps coming back, please i want to know how to remove it totally from my system, i use windows 7 too and not ready to format the system .
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by donsity(m): 8:11am On May 05, 2010
And did I Forget to state that this year's Antivirus review noted Kapersky, Norton and Bitdefender as top3 in the world. however, Like I said earlier, I Prefer norton antivirus. bt i have personally succeeded in Hijacking Bitdefender, dat's why i don't recommend it.

And for my friends @tomzyfire and @deribigbe, I can't really help u remove dat virus from here, but I assure u dat Norton can remove it. if u'v not used the 2010 version b4, den u'r lucky, simply install it now and and update it, u can use try it for 60 days. The Recycle.Bin virus is a very weak virus, i could easily remove it without any antivirus, all i need will be to boot the system to safe mode, then stop it's service from msconfig, trace the original host file's path from d registry, then delete the files from command promt (using takeover and force delete command) after which i must disable it from startup and also delete it from registery. it's quite simple, bt the basic step will be to be able to locate the host file, because it's the host file dat make the recycle.bin to keep coming back.

just skip dis long story and install norton 2010 or kaspersky 2010, they'll remove it easily for u.

As for my facebook account, my facebook name is "thesent george", add me and send me a message describing urself as my facebook friend, i'll be glad to help.
P.S. Don't forget to always enjoy yourself.
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by johnspells: 7:50am On May 06, 2010
I will go for Kapersky Internet Security that is one the best anti virus software for my pc and even laptop. I had never face any difficulties or any virus problem once I had installed it. Even my laptop is working very smoothly not getting hang. I had face the problem of getting my laptop hang when I use some other software. I had a licensed version of it. The facility it provide is very good. I like using it.
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by slimplus: 12:59pm On May 06, 2010
