What is a good security program?

Question

What is a good anti virus and anti spyware that isn't bloated?

Answer 1

Antivirus(should only download one for each computer)

Avira antivirus(my recommended choice)

http://www.avira.com/en/downloads/

Personal Review: Very good detection rates. Sometimes I can find a false positive from time to time but that's not much of a problem. Also if you get the free version it has the annoying habait of giving a popup about paying for the software maybe two times a day. It is very good to avoid disrupting what you were doing so I give this a rating of 9/10

AVG Antivirus Free Edition

http://www.grisoft.com/

Personal Review: Easy to use. Not the best detection rates but I very good product anyhow.

Rating 7/10

Avast! Antivirus

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht...

Personal Review: Easy to use. It probably has better detection rates then AVG so I'll give this a 8/10

Sorry never tried Nod32 but I heard good things about it.

Now lets talk about the Anti-spyware

You can download as many as you want.

Spybot Search and Destroy

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...

Great program! One of my favorites for detecting and removing spyware. A must have and it's freeware. There isn't even a paid version but there is a donate option. It has the option to Immunize your browsers and recovery system if you wanted to undo the removal.

Malwarebytes Antimalware Free Edition

It's probably my favorite anti malware program. Good detection rates. Only used for scanning if you have the free version but great no the less.

Malwarebytes RogueRemover Free

http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover...

Detects for rogue software such has winfixer or spysheriff and deletes it. Just to let you know if you see a popup of rogue software suggesting you have "viruses" You should immedility disconnect your internet(to be on the safe side) and press ALT F4. Also please PLEASE don't click on either X,ok, or cancel because it will install anyway.
