What's the best anti virus software?

Question

I hear that McAfee isn't the best and that Norton AntiVirus is better but is there anything besides those that are better? If not, which of the 2 are?

Answer 1

There is no antivirus that can solve all problems ( In my opinion =) )

Depends on how vulnerable your PC is, you can run different programs periodically to detect malware.

I personally used all of the free online scanner below.

Kapersky, Activescan Panda, Trend-Micro, Norton security response. AVG is pretty good as well.

Last thing is, use firewall, anti-spyware program if necessary.

Answer 2

hey, it depends on the O/s.

===============================



Panda Software's Platinum Internet Security 2005 combines antivirus, firewall, and spam filtering along with its new TruPrevent Technology. Both AV-Test.org and ICSA Labs have tested the TruPrevent claims of behavioral, non-signature detection of new malware. And both have found the claims to be true. (TruPrevent Technology can also be purchased separately as an add-on to other antivirus protection).



PC-cillin Internet Security 2005

=================================



Building on its solid antivirus capabilities, PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 includes spam and spyware protection, wireless device protection, firewall, privacy data protection, parental controls, and a year's free tech support via a toll-free number.
