Norton

Avira in my opinion by far surpasses them all since it has a 99.8% detection on viruses and 99.0% on other threats. The software itself is the lowest computer resource user. Great for gamers and business people alike.

Eset Software (ESET NOD32) or Kaspersky Lab (AVP). You won't find any better than these.

Kaspersky is good for stopping and removing viruses, but symantec is alot less complicated

• G DATA Software (GData) actually beat Kaspersky and norton on its detection rates but scan speed wise it didn't.



The most important thing is detection rates and not scanning speed.





Hope this helps

it rather is the way you get rid of it: one million) click initiate. 2) Then go with administration Panel. 3) discover upload/get rid of and click on it. 4) Now discover the ingredient you go with to get rid of. 5) click The Uninstall technique. 6) carried out.

Kaspersky for features and effectiveness

ESET for speed and effectiveness (although the new version seems to be slower than it used to be)
