    Everyone has his or her own idea on which is the best anti-virus software, what is best for me may not be the best for you and vice versa. This discussion will not go anywhere.

    I think all of us can agree on is that "any anti-virus software is still better than none on a computer". :D

    Have a nice day!

    Cheers

    I guess I have to disagree that these discussions are useless. They may be for those who have read and discussed the pros and cons of the various AVs for awhile, and have settled on a favorite.

    However, there are those who come here and want to learn or get opinions as to the best or better AVs or other anti-malware applications. They can learn a lot by such discussions.

    In addition, with the changes going on by the developers to update and improve their applications, even more knowledgeable users can learn through the experience of those who have been testing the betas.

    So I hope such discussions continue in spite of the strong bias not based upon tests by some. How do we learn about the current problems or lack thereof of KAV6, or F-Protect beta, etc?

    I do not think all AVs are equal, and AV Comparatives demonstrates that they are not. If one thinks any one is good enough, then do not spend money, but just get AVG, and if it runs well for you stay with it.

    Regards,
    Jerry

    The best AV is probably the one inside your head:-common sense,no software based AV can make up for a lack of that one!
    If you totally disregard what kind of sites you visit,use P2P and take no notice of what emails/attachments you open you are likely to get "stung" ,no matter which AV youv'e got installed,somewhere down the line!

    On and on and on and on.........and do we know now, why these are all the best? Man, where does this end? It won't make me any wiser as to what to buy or install, as every scanner will run different on different computers.

    We all know which scanners are on the top, trial a few or all of them and see how things run.......then invest and be happy!
