Eldmannen Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Here is a list from August 2006 of various antivirus software and how they rank. http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/defaul...d=82&mnu=82 If anyone wonders about Active Virus Shield by AOL, then it is an antivirus software that AOL licensed from Kaspersky and then re-branded, stripped/crippled some funcionality, and then added adware to it. They also have a list of antiviruses, including a free antivirus section on; http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/defaul...d=71&mnu=71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJpailo Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 rofl...you can't really determine which anti-virus is the best since none can detect everything. You should use one the ones mentioned in the list and then just use online scanners as a precaution. http://www.lavasoftusa.com http://wiki.lunarsof.../PC_Maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are coming new threats all the time. Of course no antivirus always detects everything. But by running a bunch of antivirus software against 147184 viruses you can see which one detects the most of them, hence is the best. You can also test a bunch of antivirus software against thousand of viruses "not in the wild", to determine which antivirus software has the best heuristics.

I just tried to download the new database for Kaspersky online scanner and I keep getting the blacklist is broken error message anyone else getting this message. I have uninstalled the older version I had on my system so I know thats not the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyy Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 When I realized how much Norton was slowing down my PC I switched to AVG (Free) and I?ve never looked back. Great piece of software and completely free!
