Question

Which anti-virus is best, KAV or McAfee?

Answer 1

well if i was only given the choice between the two, honestly i believe McAfee is better, because once its install u pretty much never need to do anything to it. it works all by itself and only runs scans and updates in idle. McAfee does use up a bit more computer resources than KAV but with 4GB of RAM you wont notice a difference really. i've use McAfee for the fast 3 years and i never had any trouble with them. i've seen switch to Linux so no more need for all the crazy windows security.

Answer 2

Get AVG. Best one out there. And its free!

Answer 3

definetly kapersky anti virus

Answer 4

Kaspersky is much better but I would use Kaspersky Internet Security it offers everything where kaspersky Anti Virus has know firewall or stealth mode.

Answer 5

best one - neither - go for AVG - my brother has mcafee on his laptop and its rubbish - DONT GO FOR THAT 1!!

If you want to use msn and u choose avg - make sure the web shield, instant messaging, msn tick box is un-ticked!!

Answer 6

KAV. Some people are saying that AVG is better but it is not. It is reasonable but KAV is better.  

Answer 7

forget all those get avast

Answer 8

McAfee is a load of s***, and i have never heard of KAV, but i would go with KAV, because McAfee is c**p!!

Answer 9

I can't compare the two as I have never used McAfee.  I started using Kaspersky long ago and I have no complaints.

Answer 10

KAV (Kaspersky) has done rather well in reviews in the past, from what I remember, and McAfee is generally noted to be a bloated software that can slow down a PC.  I would look at some of the free offerings such as Avast (which I use), AVG (I have used).  Just because an anti-virus is free does not mean it is inferior.  It generally means that it just has the basic features, it may lack some scheduling feature or something that the typical home user doesn't need anyway.  You should check out the AV comparatives site below.
