best anti virus??

[Phantom010]

This subject has been discussed here hundreds, even thousands of times. Use the Search function for threads about the subject and you'll find plenty to read.

There are threads about best free antivirus programs if it's what you want. Others deal with paid ones.

A lot will recommend paid antivirus programs over free ones. Most free AV will deal with malware once it has made it through but paid AV will block them at the gate.

The other major difference is the number of daily definition updates. A paid antivirus like NOD32, Kaspersky or BitDefender (my personal favorites) will make multiple updates daily.

Another important detail is technical support. With free AV, you'll have access to a forum or FAQ. That can take days, weeks before getting a solution, if you ever get one. With paid AV, you'll be able to contact customer support online, by email or by phone.

It's up to you.

LOL, as Phantom010 said, there are many threads on this issue, and a lot of different suggestions/recommendations.
I use McAfee for my AV.

AVG is antivirus software
MalwareBytes is not antivirus software, nor is CCleaner antivirus software.

One review of antivirus software http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

A very bad review indeed as so often with Top Ten Reviews.

How can any list of ten top antivirus programs not include Avira? My guess would be that they do not pay for linked downloads.

these anti-virus software threads lead to debates Lol

thank u for ur tips
i was using avg free earlier.
i felt insecure
then i downloaded this torrent - kaspersky (cracked full version) - it works fine
but still not satisfied with the performance

and one more question is der any problem with cracked full version antivirus softwares??

[baladio]

To some, I recommend a commercial, full security suite, but to others, I recommend something like what I use myself, such as a good quality free "main" anti-virus program, like Avast (the new version), AVG, or Avira, that has active protection, and maybe secondary anti-virus like BitDefender free, that doesn't have active protection (and therefore doesn't interfere with main AV), but it only has on-demand scanning. I also have a secondary anti-spyware, called SuperAntispyware, with on-demand scanning only. The main AV's usually have some anti-spyware and sometimes anti-rootkit and anti-trojans as well. To most users who want free everything, I would recommend having Avast as the main security software, then BitDefender and SuperAntispyware as secondary. I also have and recommend Panda Anti-Rootkit and F-Secure Blacklight for rootkits. I don't use a special anti-trojan program, but some may want to use one.
In terms of a commercial software suite, I would recommend Kaspersky, NOD32, BitDefender, or G-Data, and maybe a few others (all newest versions). NOD32 and GDATA are supposed to be very fast, and the new Norton also increased its speed to some degree (although I'm sure not as fast as NOD32 and G-Data). Yes, I know G-Data is rarely heard about, but from what I've seen, it's really good.

There can be problems with cracked software, if not done right; especially if the software has measures to counter illegal copying and involves updates, or simply checks online somehow to see if the copy is legitimate.

TechGuy site Rules tell you that we do not help with the use of or support the use of pirated, illlegal, cracked, or illegally obtained software. The main reasons are not only legal issues for this site and the owner..... cracked software you may find in Torrent downloads can often give you more than you wanted, it can contain malware.

With the amount of free software around these days there is no need to run cracked security software...
