I tried many ANTIVIRUS and today i want to see everyone else's opinion on what is the best antivirus out of them You can draw your own conclusions by reading this.kaspersky is my favorite. AVG REMOVES all the .exe files.Clearly you can ignore the above post by janimanMy Vote is "Other" for myself... I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials without any problems on NUMEROUS systems. But if a corporate network etc, I'd go with Norton, since if your the guru of a corporate network and the company has plenty of money to pay for protection, you might as well buy licenses with Norton for all systems. I wouldnt want to be using MS Security Essentials on a corporate network for free and having to explain to my boss why it didnt catch a zero-day attack, and Norton may have caught it sooner etc and even though we saved $15,000, now we have a greater mess potentially in excess of $15,000 in damages.

But for my own personal use, I am also not at high risk for infection because my COMPUTER habits and knowledge avoid trouble. I dont download content frequently from questionable sources as someone doing so may want to have something better than MS Security Essentials etc. I also know what to do when you get to a web page that pops up with flash the fake PANIC - your infected with 401 viruses click here to GIVE us your credit card number etc as many have likely seen and some have gotten suckered into giving their credit card info for false virus's.

And if a computer user was really smart and had a spare computer, they would have a computer used as a quarantine area before running software etc on the important computer etc. I like to test software in virtual environments on my beater box before implementing free software to my main system if there is not enough feedback online as to if its good or junk. I will install the legally freeware, test it, and if its what I need and clean of virus's etc, I will perform an uninstall and reboot the virtual environment. I then will go back into this virtual system and make sure the uninstaller is clean of leaving problems. There are so many free programs out there that have troubled uninstallers that I have implemented this on questionable programs. And best of all if the program makes a mess, the cleanup is simply to shutdown the virtual system on the live physical system and delete the virtual hard drive file. Then copy a new copy of it from the master location of virtual systems to this test folder and then link the virtual system to Virtual PC 2007 and its ready for the next program test subject.I'm using avast! Free Antivirus on my Windows 7 system.
