What are the kinds of antivirus?

Hello there,

Nowadays, unless you are very careful about what sites are consulted and the files are downloaded, there is more than recommended to equip your PC with an antivirus. The antivirus must be chosen through their detection performance of each virus, fast analysis, the transparency of its use and its impact on the performance of Windows.

In my opinion, their ranking should be like this:

– BitDefender Antivirus 2012

– ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5

– F-Secure Antivirus 2012

– GDATA Antivirus 2012

– PC Tools Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus

– Kaspersky Antivirus 2012

– McAfee Antivirus Plus 2012

– Norton Antivirus 2012

– Trend Micro Titanium

Of course, you must run a full scan each 15 days and keep the virus database update to date.

Panda Antivirus

Kasper Sky

Bit Defender

Avira Antivirus

Norton Antivirus

Avast, McAfee and many more antivirus software. You should try to use any one of them.

But keep in mind, only latest version can secure your PC.
