What is the best anti virus software to get?

A $1,400 laptop that isn't a mac, that computer is going to be beastly.

First of all, I really don't think there can be a "best" ONE anti-virus, no anti-virus can get everything and there are always things that one can catch that others can't.

The best 3 are:

Bit Defender

Nod32

Kapersky

If you don't do anything involving hacking/programming, you want to get Bit Defender, because they block questionable content ASAP without asking you. Nod32 and Kapersky block most things, but question you on some things, which can get a little annoying, but if you want to UNBLOCK something on your computer, Nod32 and Kapersky make it much easier than Bit Defender, which is why I said get these two if you don't do a lot of things that could trigger them.

I changed to Avast a few months ago, I have also got superantispyware and Malwarebytes. I recently changed to Comodo firewall which seems fine and I seem to boot up quicker. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

I use Kaspersky Internet Security for and subsequently

And use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Scan Xoftspy SE v4.33 help not often say the best

But .......... I use this set for nearly two years

Use Kaspersky.

Pay. But with good

top 5 antivirus of 2009?

1) Kaspersky - 97% detection - few false positive

2) Nod32 - 97% detection - few false positive

3) Avira - 99% detection - many false positive

4) Avast - 98% detection - many false positive

5) Norton internet security 2009 - 98% detection - few positive

kokhean suggested Malwarebytes' Anti-malware but it is not an anti-virus nor a full security suite.However,I would install it along side what ever security suite you decide to get because it will pick up malware that some of these big dollar suites miss. It's just good software to keep in your arsenal. There is a free (good enough) and a paid version.You can get them both at CNET at http://www.download.com/

yes the best answer for your question is BITDEFENDER 2010 coz u are constant on not letting your system slow down so obviously u need BitDefender .

I have used all the antiviruses in top rank as stated in link below

http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.co...

Kaspersky promises full security and also gives it but to some extent it will surely slow down.

do not use Kis 2009.but 2010 is better

and for ESET it is having some issues in reading windows firewall settings. often it shows some problem so avoid it too

i would recommend using Kaspersky Anti-virus especially for windows 7...bitdefender isn't stable on most laptops. and eset has a very low detection rate for malware.

Here the link below for Kaspersky

TOP TEN:-

1.BitDefender Antivirus

2.Kaspersky antivirus

3.Webroot antivirus with spysweeper

4.ESET Nod32

5.AVG antivirus

6.F-secure antivirus

7.Norton antivirus

8.G-data antivirus

9.McAfee virusscan

10.Trend micro

I'm not sure whether it works on Windows 7 Professional or not but

this is the best anti-virus program I have ever encountered.

If you don't mind spending money, get Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
