Best AntiVirus Software Companies
Good antivirus software is an invaluable tool for keeping your computer, your personal information, and the security of your friends and family safe from hackers, identity thieves, and spammers. The damage a single virus can do is astounding.Today's viruses have the capability to do everything from sending your personal information like credit card numbers and bank accounts to identity thieves to turning your computer into a slave that will send out spam e-mail messages, attack websites, or do pretty much anything else the virus maker wants it to. And on top of that, viruses are programmed to seek out your contacts and try to infect them as well. Odds are good that if your computer gets infected, everybody in your contacts is going to be receiving an e-mail message or IM that looks to be from you and contains the same virus you got.
A good antivirus program will typically cost a bit, but will be nothing compared to the cost of losing your files and your identity. Below are the top ten best antivirus software companies around.
1. Kaspersky
I have done beta testing on anti-virus suites for years.
For 2009, I found Kaspersky to be the best AGAIN.
I tested Kaspersky, Norton, Webroot, ESET, McAfee and G-DATA.
I tested 200 different malicious files.
Kaspersky detected 198 of those files with zero false positives.
Norton detected 198 of those files with zero false positives.
Webroot detected 195 with zero false positives.
(I'm only showing results from the top three. )
Real-Time Protection:
I went to infected websites and downloaded infected files, pictures, etc.
Out of 35:
Kaspersky detected 35.
Norton detected 33.
Webroot detected 35.
So, the best anti-virus is:
1. Kaspersky
2. Norton
3. WebrootM+358

3. AVG
- Has caught all viruses so far :)
- Good heuristic protection (both generic and behavioural - Identity Protection)
- Anti-Rootkit module
- Offline virus DBs to download - a BIG plus from my point of view
- Last but not east, it's TRULLY free (no catches, unlike other "free" AVs out there)M+93

I used norton and kaspersky but they were too heavy. AVG solved all my problems silently.M+93
just great great antivirus... what a brain they have to make such a antivirus... the programming is real good... and it cleans every bit of virusesM+78
It's very helpful
4. ESET
ESET is the best antivirus yet, it is very fast, it don't slow down your system unlike norton and kaspersky.
I had norton before, it almost crashed my system despite the fact that my PC has good specs(2.1GHz duo core HP Pavilion dv6)
Am now using ESET now, it's amazing with daily updates to keep your system protected, since I've had it, I don't know what a computer virus is, believe me, I can comfortably surf the internet without no threat, even visit sites with high virus alert with no system intrusion because I have ESET.
It's the best user friendly antivirus available, very easy to operate and schedule your scans, system inspection and others things.
I can't see myself giving up my ESET to have another antivirus, one can't condescend from the best to something lower, ESET is the best by a mile, believe meM+109

I use ESET because I was tired of other av programs that sucked the power out of my operating system. I love their products and use them in every computer I own.M+75
Most successful Slovak company. Daily updates automatically are convenient and keep computer safe from new threats. Have not had one malware/viral breach in the 8 months I've had it. Has worked better and more subtly so than Norton or McAfee.M+62
Simply the best in all aspects
5. Microsoft Security Essentials
Free, and I've been running it since day one. It's really a fantastic piece of software, and I haven't so much as had a virus since I started using it. - JoshUKM+90
Free & easily handle to use this anti-virus... 100% my system is working properly...M+90
MSE is the best and also free. The only remark is it heats up the pc while you are scanning your pc...M+81
It is very good and reliable. It is free unlike some companies like norton which charge you 40 dollars or year or something like that - 170253
