Best antivirus software overall.Reviewers say Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 is the best all-around antivirus program. It excels at its primary task of preventing viruses. Reviews agree that Kaspersky is better than the bestseller Norton AntiVirus 2008 in all aspects. Kaspersky is fast and light; it won't slow your computer as much as the bestsellers. According to users, Kaspersky has more software conflicts and issues than the average antivirus program. Yet program users express a much higher level of satisfaction with Kaspersky antivirus software than with Norton or McAfee programs



Best antivirus software for expert users. unanimously agree that NOD32 is as good as or better than Kaspersky Anti-Virus in all but one area: Reviews of last year's version 2.7 said NOD32 had an unintuitive and confusing user interface

Try the BitDefender antivirus. its the best.

The norton 2009 antivirus is also good and surprisingly fast.

AVG has a free version, just Google "AVG Free". Small footprint, and blocks everything ever. If you're a little more techy I'd look into Nod32 or Kaspersky. Never, never, never use Norton.

Eset nod 32 Is this best in my opinion, It has the smallest running process and slows down your comptuer the most and most organizations like schools and business use it

Not the best, only suitable for you.



RISING Antivirus protects your computers against all types of viruses, Trojans, Worms, Rootkits and other malicious programs. Ease of use, Active Defense technology, Patented Unknown Virus Scan&Clean technology and Patented Smartupdate technology make RISING Antivirus ' install-and-forget ' product that lets you focus on what you really want to do.



Active Defense Technology

Rising’s Active Defense Technology is designed to prevent the execution of malicious programs. It provides more open rules for advanced user customization, which enables the user to define unique defense rules depending upon the special circumstances of his/her own system, thus maximizing the system’s protection.



Patented Scanning Technology for Unknown Viruses

Rising's scanning technology for unknown viruses is protected by patents in the United States of America and Europe. This technology protects your personal computer before new virus definitions are available. Unknown Virus Scan&Clean(Patent No.:ZL 01 1 17726.8)



Patented Fully Automatic SmartUpdate

Rising's Automatic SmartUpdate Technology enables Rising software automatically detect the latest version and automatically updates. RISING Virus Lab provides updates at least three times per day with instant updates. Fully Automatic SmartUpdate(Patent No.:ZL 01 1 42155.X)



Smart Virtual Machine with Behaviour & Packing Pattern Recognition

RISING Antivirus comes with an integrated smart virtual machine, which is used for virus scanning and malware recognition. RISING's proprietary smart virtual machine technology provides the additional safety for your computer without slowing down your system. Suspected code and program can be run in this virtual machine for RISING Antivirus to check for potential malicious behaviour. RISING's Behaviour & Packing Pattern Recognition allows to test such potential malware thoroughly without influencing the performance of your PC and protects your system against new viruses and unknown viruses.



Application Protection

Application Protection can protect specified applications from attack by malicious programs. A user can apply rules to game software, instant messenger, etc. to customize protection. Rising Anti-Virus 2008 provides users with eight rules: Anti-DLL Injection, Anti-CodeInjection, Anti-Memory Modification, Anti-Memory Read, Prevent Suspension, Prevent Termination, Anti-Simulated Sending, and Anti-Simulated Key.



Self-Protection

Previous versions have not offered complete protection to Rising products themselves, resulting in damage to Rising products by specific viruses such as Orange August. The spread of such viruses has prevented users from running Rising products or to browse the Rising website. We now employ Active Defense Technology to address this omission.



Application Access Control

Application Access Control monitors suspicious programs to limit their access to computer resources.



Program Startup Control

Program Startup Control allows users to monitor the startup process of programs, thus being able to intercept and prevent the execution of unknown malicious programs as well as detecting any modification of applications



Malicious Behavior Detection

Malicious Behavior Detection monitors programs running in the system to detect and report the behavior patterns of malicious code, optionally allowing the user to authorize or reject suspicious activity.



Hidden Process Detection

Hidden Process Detection can detect processes that cannot be seen in the Windows Task Manager that may contain malicious code, including rootkits.



Computer Security Check

The Computer Security Check function informs the user of the current security level and guides him/her in strengthening it to prevent intrusions.



Security Tool Integration Platform

The Security Tool Integration platform provides the following tools: Other Embedded Scan, Registration Wizard, Latest Installation Creation Tool, Application Protection Wizard, Vulnerability Check, and View Quarantine.
