Answer 5

This might be the best set of security softwares that will heep your computer clean and safe and will give you high detection rates unlike the other paid suites. Just click the link to download it:

1. Avira Antivir Free Antivirus

2. Spybot - Search and Destroy

http://dw.com.com/redir?edId=3&siteId=4&...

3. Rogue Remover Free

http://dw.com.com/redir?edId=3&siteId=4&...

4. Zone Alarm Firewall

http://dw.com.com/redir?edId=3&siteId=4&...

What's good to this freewares are they are working like paid suites, but they are separate programs unlike a single paid suite.

Then if you want paid suites working nicely with higher detection rates:

Then you better use ESET Smart Security

Answer 13

Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 8.0

Bitdefender

NOD32

Trend Micro Internet Security pro

Spyware Doctor Internet Security

The Shield Deluxe

Avira paid version

Avast paid version

Ashampoo Anti Spyware antivirus.

F-Secure Internet Security

G-Data

Answer 14

The best one is Nod32, but it's not free.

The best free one (arguably) is AVG - if you've not tried it since version 6/7, give version 8 a go.

Nothing wrong with AntiVir/Avast, but I reckon AVG wins on points....

EDIT: as for *why* I think it's best - automatic updates, automatic scans. If you don't want to bother scanning your machine yourself, AVG will schedule it all for you. Neither Avast nor Avira Antivir (free) offer this. Furthermore, v8 comes with anti-spyware.

And, for the record - never use pirated antivirus software. In order to remove the protection, the code has been fiddled with - and you never know what else they did whilst they were in there. It would be relatively trivial to instruct it to operate as normal, but to ignore one or two hand-picked viruses, which you could then distribute...

EDIT: bloke below - E-trust sucks the big one. It's awful. It's deployed throughout the County systems I work on, and I've experienced its inadequacies first hand, on a daily basis.

If it was a car, it'd be a Reliant Robin.

Answer 15

Use AVG or Quick Heal anti virus software.Both are good, but the best is AVG.
