What is the best antivirus for Windows? The question arose early in the war against viruses. The answer is clearly a relative. Each user believes the best antivirus antivirus the one you use. But reality can be different, especially when your antivirus is installed by "skilled friends."
To choose, in Mo knew the cause, best antivirus, consider the following criteria:
- Antivirus free or paid. The choice is up to each user. Personally, I prefer paid antivirus. For that, compared with antimalware, antivirus does its job properly paid. Obviously, it offers better antivirus protection more expensive. Antivirus products that cost around 10 euros (40 USD) throw money for nothing. Target solutions around 40 euros (160-200 million) which will provide adequate protection. To convince the antivirus test efficacy of 30-50 days throughout the product and then buy it from a distributor. Initial price of around 40 euro is valid for one year. At exprirarea period of use (1 year), will have to pay license extension program, which usually will be cheaper.
- Detection rate. Antivirus programs use their own methods of detection, some better than others. See rankings forums detection rates to choose a really good antivirus protection PC.
- Heuristic method. Occur daily as viruses and other PC heuristic detection method should provide "learning from past experiences" and to detect early abnormal behavior due to the virus before the antivirus manufacturer to create an update.
- Scanning speed. A good antivirus is not only a high detection rate but a high scanning speed. Imagine what the scan time to 2 TB of data!
- Real-time scanning. It is able to monitor your antivirus software on your computer and prevent virus infection?
- Scanning order. This feature should allow scanning a folder / file in right click menu's properly. The most common is the case in order to scan a USB stick.
- Access scanning. Each file is scanned to open / access.
- Use of system resources. There are antivirus that loads the system, greatly decreasing its speed. Search antivirus not loaded system. Do not count as your resource. Slow down any antivirus resource greedy top configuration.
- Scanning planned. An antivirus product quality can be set to scan the system at a certain date (day of week) and at a certain time. However, there are programs that restrict virus scan types that can be planned.
- Scan email. Ins and outs of email, along with traffic and should be monitored for virus attachments. A quality program monitors both Yahoo mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and Instant Messengerele (Mess Yahoo, Windows Live Mess, Google Talk).
- Update automatically. Keep up to date antivirus automatic updates from online threats. Automate updates saves you the trouble of having the latest virus definitions. Most products can be configured to connect to antivirus vendor's Web site. Antivirus program should have the possibility to disable automatic update and the update manually. That also reduce network traffic or waiting time (available for mobile internet).
- Block scripts. Antivirus must be able to monitor Java, ActiveX, VB and other scripts, detecting and blocking abnormal activity.
- Easy to use. Antivirus program should work easily. Installation should be simple, easy to follow steps without too many options to confuse the average user. But, also, must take into account the demands of advanced users. Once configured and started running, the antivirus must work quietly and stays in the backgroud, without disturbing the user with messages paranoid.
Tips:
1) DO NOT USE Antivirus "Sparta" (crack-look)! Protection is void, even if they do break antivirus updates and scans one paid. I had NOD32 devirusat many broken computers but were compromised by too much. Than one antivirus cracked, better one free.
2) DO NOT USE THE VIRUS WITH INSTANT WEBSITE ADVERTISING! There are sites that advertise the antivirus and displays messages like "Your computer is infected! Click here to disinfect. " Obviously, the posts do not only infect your PC with a virus, given that virus. There is a list of antivirus true. Do not install programs ghost. As titles are fake antivirus "Dr. Antivirus "," AV Protection "false name behind which to hide true infections.
3) TEST TRIA L version first. If you are unsure of an antivirus product, test it during the trial (Trial Version).
4) SAVE THE DAY updates for antivirus, antimalware and Windows. The condition required to ensure adequate protection is to stay up to date with antivirus, antimalware and Windows.
Below is a list of antivirus own good, you deserve to trust:
AvastAntivirus
AVG
Avira
BitDefender
Eset NOD32
Kaspersky
Panda Antivirus
McAfee
Microsoft Security Essentials
Sunbelt VIPRE
Symantec
Webroot
It will be useful and without incident!
There are "virus broke", it said it improperly are more antivirus or antivirus fewer footprints. Then, nothing to install an antivirus if it contains all the necessary and if not set properly. Hence the total rankings unreal, created on some sites, users vote, usefulness or function of the antivirus.
When choosing an antivirus and it's important to study the source code or, in other words, its skeleton upon which the computer runs. In time, the appearance of antivirus programs and so far, have revealed several skeletons or structures, on which were all created to date antivirus software.
Asazisa logical structure of a virus, and further settings are made after installation, may require more or less a PC hardware. For example, there was almost as if we have Windows 7 running on two PCs, both with the same hardware configuration but one another 2Gb RAM and 4GB RAM, same antivirus installed and configured the same way on both PCs can stress physical HDD system differently with significantly involved over the lifetime of the system. And that's just an example. So, when choosing an antivirus matters and other issues, the most important would include: the number of fingerprints of viruses, additional components for any type of malware etc removal.
NOD32's case is already widespread: crack antivirus functionality canceled. NOD32 is an antivirus for very good with very few resources occupied is very tempting for user "stingy" to try a crack. All systems repaired crack NOD32 for me to forget they had trouble.
As for virus protection utility remains valid rule of three updates:
- Update to date antivirus;
- Update to date operating system (especially Windows);
- Update to date antimalware.
As for the 2GB RAM laptop system stress. And if memory remains valid "size matters".
