Question

What is the best antivirus

Answer 1

Go for Avast (Avast.com)

After you do this, for good computer cleaner, get ad aware 2007. Scan with this about once every week. It clears up alot of stuff

After this, get a spybot to get rid of spyware. Now, your computer will be perfectly clean!

Answer 2

Hi

The Best Is McAfee but if you wanna go for free use AVG.

Answer 3

Either don't use a computer, or if you do - then install something like Ubuntu.

No Windows = Zero virusses.

If you really need to install any kind of malware, it would look rather like this:

evilmalware 0.6 (beta)

Copyright 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005

E\/17 |-|4><0|2z Software Foundation, Inc.

This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is

NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY, COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF IMPORTANT

DATA or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE (eg. sending thousands of Viagra

spams to people accross the world).

Basic Installation

==================

Before attempting to compile this virus make sure you have the correct

version of glibc installed, and that your firewall rules are set to `allow

everything'.

1. Put the attachment into the appropriate directory eg. /usr/src

2. Type `tar xvzf evilmalware.tar.gz' to extract the source files for

this virus.

3. `cd' to the directory containing the virus's source code and type

`./configure' to configure the virus for your system. If you're

using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type

`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute

`configure' itself.

4. Type `make' to compile the package. You may need to be logged in as

root to do this.

5. Optionally, type `make check_payable' to run any self-tests that come

with the virus, and send a large donation to an unnumbered Swiss bank

account.

6. Type `make install' to install the virus and any spyware, trojans

pornography, p***s enlargement adverts and DDoS attacks that

come with it.

7. You may now configure your preferred malware behaviour in

/etc/evilmalware.conf .

Answer 4

Personally,i think Norton works for me,But according to reports etc,Kaspersky has the highest detection rate of any of the "big three"-Norton,Mcafee and Kaspersky.

However,if it's freeware your looking for,as most answerers have said either AVG,Avast or Avira, though of those, Avast has the higher detection rate.

Use what works for you and whichever a/v you feel comfortable with.It's all down to personal choice.

Answer 5

Avast anti-virus better definitions, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit built in, faster and more reliable:
