Windows is the best OS EVER.
That unix crap can suck a rock, everyone uses windows.
Linux and Mac are for geek losers.

How about using a Mac?
Linux has a promising comparison as well.
Let’s see. 60,000 known viruses for Windows
40 ((Not thousand but only 40)) for Linux
Approximately 5 or 6 for a Mac.
Why? Linux and Mac’s both use Unix as their back-end. Funny enough but ask Microsoft what they use as their top web servers and you might be surprised to find out that some of them are Unix.

Let’s see what the counter from Microsoft is: Yes but Windows is more widely used and therefore has more eyes on it, therefore has more viruses. Ok that would make sense for maybe 50 more? Maybe 100 more?? but 60,000. I hope that settles the debate on which Anti-Virus product is the best. It’s like saying “Which Syphillus cream will work the best on me?” I think the best solution will be to avoid the viruses altogether, but that is just my opinion.

This comparison was very good!
But I’ll prefer avast than avira because I think the free one don’t have antispyware!

Yep, Avira 4ever! I am using this product for years and i am satisfied…and Avast is also not bad!

Avira is exceptional in the fact that it crashes during boot sector scan (other tests work properly). And it seems that I am not the only one experiencing that issue. There are half year old reports of the problem on their site without solution. Some users report that bug seems to be introduced in version 9, as the same feature was working OK in v.8.

Going back to AVG.

BTW, nice anti-vir comparison. Thanks!

Take care,
Bjorn

[...] beat AVG, but were pretty comparable. I went with Avira because they say it runs less processes. The best free antivirus: a comparison | freewaregenius.com Antivirus Software Review: Free Antivirus [...]

The big flaw in Avast is the terrible amount of memory and resources it hogs as you surf.

I pay for NOD32 …..simply wonderful….never any problems….and it updates without a hitch ( and often …..don’t think this was mentioned much in the reviews )

Soo…it comes down to Avira and Avast? I’m clueless, ’cause I have to put a little haste in my search for free antivir. before my McAfee sub ends (which isn’t fair)..

I HAVE BEEN USING AVIRA AND I THINK IT IS OK ANTIVIRUS. BUT IT DETECTS THE INNOCENT FILES ALSO AND DOES NOT NOT AUTO DELETE THE VIRUS.

I have tried the Comodo combined firewall virus protection (on Vista) & it appears to do what is required of it effectively.

I have used Norton and McAfee and both these are lumbering elephants, compared with AVG and Avast.
I have Avast now for a number of years and found absoloutwely no problem. I like the setup though giving an audible voice update information.
