Hello. The choice of security software is very important in the conditions of today's reality, when the number of viruses is rapidly increasing every day. Not so long ago, I talked about dangerous Trojans-cryptographers (Petya-Vasya,), which not all programs cope with. Therefore, I made a rating of best antivirus 2017 ", which includes the most effective solutions.
Ten years ago, users were severely limited in the choice of high-quality security applications. But now there are a lot more of them, which allows us to analyze the advantages and disadvantages and choose the optimal solution for ourselves.
Advanced systemcare
A very serious set of tools for the computer. You can read about it in detail. The software not only accelerates the system, but also protects it from the penetration of malicious scripts.
Avast free
Although the competition in the antivirus market is quite fierce, it was possible to gain credibility and occupy its niche.
Among the advantages of the utility:
- A constantly updated database that contains signatures of all known threats. This allows you to quickly respond to any attempt to penetrate the virus on board the PC.
- Support for all versions of Windows, including the "top ten". By the way, I recommend to get acquainted with the list.
- All features are completely free, there are no restrictions!
- You can additionally download the new Avast Nitro (special update)
Hello.
Undoubtedly, one of the most important programs on a computer is an antivirus. Even one “accidentally” virus on a PC is capable of making it impossible for him to work! In addition, it is “good” if the virus just shows ads, but there are viruses that can destroy dozens of files on the disk (which they may have worked on for more than one month).
About 10–15 years ago the number of defense programs was relatively small and the choice was limited to a dozen. Now there are hundreds of them!
In this article I want to dwell on the most popular today (in my opinion). I think that many people will find this information useful for cleaning and protecting their home PCs.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not exactly the antivirus that most users are used to. This program (in my opinion) is more suitable for adding to the main antivirus, but nevertheless, it will help you to do one important job!
Most software poorly (at least for now) finds and removes various adware modules that are often embedded in browsers (for example). Because of this, you start to appear various advertising windows, teasers, banners (sometimes, from adult sites), etc. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will quickly and easily clean the PC from such garbage.
Advanced systemcare ultimate
It seems to me that many users are often unhappy with one "quality" of most antiviruses - they slow down the computer ... So, in this regard, the very interesting product Advanced SystemCare Ultimate is a tool with built-in functionality for optimizing, cleaning and speeding up Windows. Antivirus, I must tell you, is quite reliable (BitDefender technologies are used) + own program algorithms. Protects PCs from: spyware, trojans, dangerous scripts, ensures safe operation of payment systems on the Internet (important, especially recently with the development of Internet banks).
By the way, the program is compatible with many antivirus programs (i.e. it can be installed in addition to provide additional protection). I recommend to try an interesting idea of developers.
Avast 2015 Free
One of the best free antiviruses. Every year it is gaining more and more popularity. The benefits are obvious: - some of the best algorithms for searching and detecting viruses (even those that are not yet known to the antivirus and are not included in the update database);
- support for all popular Windows OS (including Windows 10);
- low system requirements to PC (works quite quickly even on older machines);
- full featured free software version.
Avg
Very, very good antivirus, which, by the way, won many awards. There is a free version available that can cover the needs of most users. Judge for yourself, complete free version: antivirus (protecting in real time from viruses, spyware, etc.), a complex to protect against dangerous links on the Internet, as well as a complex to protect email.
By the way, the program can be installed not only on a laptop (computer), but also on the phone! In general, the tool is a very decent, well-protected PC (and it works fast enough)!
Bitdefender Antivirus
Very famous antivirus that provides comprehensive protection computer: antivirus, firewall, complex for enhanced protection of personal data. By the way, in many independent ratings this software is on the top lines.
Of the features I can highlight the following:
- protection of everything and everything (practically, the user can not be distracted by the thought of protecting the PC - the program itself knows everything: what, where and when it is necessary to block ...);
- low consumption of system resources (for example, 100-200 MB random access memory when working in Windows 10 with documents);
- convenient and intuitive interface.
Avira Free
Fig. 6. Avira 2016
The most famous German-made antivirus ("umbrella", "red umbrella", as many have called it in our country). Provides a good degree of PC protection (by the way, search and virus detection algorithms are among the best programs of this kind), high performance (I remember, even 5-6 years ago I recommended putting this tool even on low-cost laptops),
- russian language support;
- support for all popular Windows OS: XP, 7, 8, 10 (32/64 bits);
- low system requirements;
- excellent search and detection of viruses and potential threats to the PC;
- user-friendly interface (all unnecessary hidden from beginners, but nevertheless available to advanced users).
I’m not afraid to say that Kaspersky Anti-Virus is the most famous and popular program in the post-Soviet space. Very, very well finds and eliminates most of the threats that you may encounter when working on a PC. The number of products is very diverse: there are installation options for both the most common antivirus and the complex version of the program: firewall, antivirus, mail, Internet, and so on.
Choosing this antivirus - you reliably protect your PC. By the way, I personally do not recommend it to be installed on weak computers (the antivirus is quite demanding of resources). Perhaps there is nothing more to comment on ...
Dr.Web
One of the best antiviruses in terms of detecting and detecting unknown viruses (i.e., the heuristic analysis in the program is so advanced - that thanks to it the program finds dangerous files, even if there is no such threat in the antivirus databases).
Also, Dr.Web has one great utility - Dr.Web Cureit (which does not need to be installed)! Thanks to it, you can quickly check your computer for all sorts of threats (you just need to download and run it).
Comodo Antivirus
What is appealing in this antivirus is that, besides the “usual” anti-virus databases, it also contains bases for searching and detecting various adware (which has been very popular lately). If you want to protect your browsers and programs for working with the Internet from all sorts of banners (which often appear so obsessively on the floor of the screen ...) - I recommend trying Antivirus Comodo (especially as the software is free).
In addition, it should be noted good level detection of various types of threats, blocking dangerous sites, quite good speed and average requirements for system resources (although some users are dissatisfied with the speed of the program on weak machines).
360 Internet Security
Very interesting free antivirus, rapidly gaining popularity. In addition to the built-in defender, there are functions for fixing some vulnerabilities in the Windows operating system, functions for installing patches and patches, optimization and acceleration of the system, cleaning the PC from garbage (unnecessary and temporary files).
Many tests show that this tool is not inferior to paid counterparts. I recommend to familiarize absolutely all users.
Ps. The best antivirus is backup copy important documents on third-party media 🙂 At this I have everything, all a good choice. For additions on the topic - I will be grateful. Good luck!

Bitdefender "no ice": because of him the computer flew from me, he did not find the virus and when I started the program, the virus ate the whole computer and got to the bios ... On the startup screen there were letters "yayayayaya" written.
2016-06-14 15:45:14
For myself, I consider Casper the best. Test Web / Casper / Avast / Nod on a clean system running viruses. The web sees, but does not do anything. Casper - finds and almost deletes without harming the system. Avast - finds deletes, but kills the system. Nod - does not see at all.
Stanislav
2016-06-18 04:42:04
Among paid ones, the best for me is Casper, he is cool, among free 360s, also excellent, for protection at the Casper level, but he cannot reach it due to the lack of disinfection of infected files! Definitely!
Stanislav
2016-06-18 04:43:40
Those who put 360 - do not forget to log in and connect the bit defender and avira engines in the "Antivirus" tab
2016-06-21 01:34:27
Bitdefender, as far as I know, is now in the first place. Everything else just eats into empty memory. Casper does not catch viruses on the fly at all ...
Vladimir
2016-07-06 19:21:05
I have antivirus McAfee. Not complaining. Works great
2016-07-09 13:51:57
Victor, do not write nonsense. Casper not only catches viruses on the fly, but also neutralizes them, and rolls back the changes (for example, in the registry) made by the virus. KIS 2016, tested by personal experience.
2016-07-16 13:16:55
Ended official license for Avast. While I was waiting for my salary, I decided to temporarily install 360. He demolished the Windows license for me and after rebooting the system could not recover. (All anti-virus kernels were included).
2016-07-16 13:27:19
Alex, thousands of people use this product - and everything works steadily for them. Of course, everything can be, but something tells me, it was not only 360 that was to blame ...
2016-07-24 14:37:28
hmm .. I really want to say that the publication of such articles is a huge minuscule site. I didn’t even approximately determine on what basis this list was made. Personal experience, eh? Do not the site owners understand that a bunch of people, whose opinions and experience may be at least a little interesting, after reading this article will never go back to this site?
2016-07-24 14:44:50
Greetings. Do you have doubts that I have not used all these programs? Used, some more than 10 years already. Some of them even have a license, what do you say next? :) By the way, at the beginning of the article it is directly written that this is just my opinion. I will quote: "In this article I want to dwell on the most popular today (in my opinion) ...". And the last, not “master”, but “master”, since This is my blog and all the articles here, only the result of my humble work for 3 years.
2016-07-25 12:24:15
Casper not only catches viruses on the fly, but also neutralizes them, and rolls back the changes (for example, in the registry) made by the virus. KIS 2016, tested by personal experience. Alexey, Kaspersky antivirus only creates a view that supposedly he is catching something there, in fact, he has this in the program in order to attract a large audience. Insider Information!

2016-07-28 04:39:43
I agree with Oleg
2016-07-28 19:39:23
And I do not agree with you. Kaspersky is not ideal, of course, but the option is good (with a fairly powerful PC and regular updates).
2016-07-29 08:34:07
From what I used: Avira is a good antivirus, but there are false positives, it sounds just like that. But better than Avast and does not load the system. Casper-loads Pts. scary, yes, and missed 1 virus. In general, not the best option. Nod - used for a long time, I remember little, but subjectively bad. Norton - used recently, well, this is a kindergarten of some kind, and not an antivirus. AUG - put in order to remove what Norton could not, like norms. I still vaguely remember the Pandu, which I used as a long time ago like Nod, from the sensations of Pts. weak antivirus.

2016-08-07 21:42:10
Testing on its Windows 7 x64 different versions of antiviruses: AVG, Avast, 360 Internet Security, Dr.Web, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, etc. I came to the conclusion that COMODO Internet Security for Home is the best antivirus. First, free, and secondly, no worse than paid. Naive licensors who believe that paid counterparts are better than free ones, I can say one thing - you should not waste money on a license, not a single antivirus will protect your computer by 100%!

Greetings Read all the comments. As an IT specialist, I still recommend the good old Kaspyrech. It is generally the most versatile and craziest effective antivirus. And so I tell you: I stood on a PC with an Internet access gateway, they distributed an Internet to the network via the "User bastard". So, if some employee climbed on dubious sites, then he blocked everything and everyone, i.e. and banners, trojans, worms, scripts, encryption viruses, and much more ...! The rest of the "antivirus" in the list is mediocre. Heuristic analysis of the most powerful in Kasp is 100%. The doctor is also good at this. 360 TS has not tested yet. I also want to bring to your attention the program Anvir Task Manager (http://www.anvir.net) I really liked it, many times prevented attempts to launch malware and scripts. If you use it in a compartment with a Yandex browser for surfing in the internet (protect), then it's generally great. p.s. Not so long ago, the wife's laptop encrypted. Somewhere 26 thousand files. Only in the Kaspersky Lab they helped me to decrypt the system. They wrote a utility for me under my characteristic Shade encryption (virus). Thanks for attention!
2016-09-04 23:12:14
For Mila: Something there in 10bit says that this antivirus is compatible with other antiviruses. I do not remember exactly, read if interested. From my humble experience I can say that Avira is the best antivirus, but I stopped using it (free version). There is such a problem - leaving the CPU at a constant 100% load. While there was a free Avira, there was no such problem. How did you switch to another antivirus? I went: CPU load is 100% constant until you turn off automatic updating.

I would ask you very much if you could, for beginners, make a peculiar review on the topic which antivirus is the best. Specifically interested in whether home computer install a free antivirus or is it better to purchase and install a paid one, what methods of protection do they differ from each other? Most of the users, I would say even advanced ones, respond monotonously, there is money to buy, no, install free. You, in one of your comments, noticed that free Avira or AVAST are quite suitable for a home computer.
He tried to understand this question himself and came to the conclusion that the free ones mainly discuss Kaspersky Anti-Virus Yandex-version, then AVAST! Free antivirus, as well as Avira Free antivirus and Microsoft Security Essentials, also AVG Antivirus Free. And from paid ESET NOD32, Kaspersky Internet Security, Norton Antivirus and McAfee. Agree, the choice is not small. Vitali.
What is the best antivirus
When in 2005 I picked up several viruses on my work computer at once and one of them, "Nimda", opened access to my files to everyone in the network, one experienced system administrator came up to me and said: "I caught it." I began to make excuses and say that the best is established anti-virus software and why this happened I do not know.
- Remember, he told me, an antivirus program can help, but you cannot fully rely on it. In order to build the right protection against the virus, the most important thing is to understand the principle on which practically all malicious programs work and build their defenses on this very understanding.
Since then, I began to experiment with various anti-virus software, both paid and free, I observed how it works, how it detects and neutralizes malicious programs, I communicated with experienced people in this regard and came to the conclusion. The best antivirus does not exist and any antivirus installed by you should be helped additional programsand most importantly, you yourself.
I would also like to tell you, do not attach friends special importance to various ratings arranged by different magazines, to determine the best antivirus, such an antivirus will never be, competition is too high in this market, and the people who write malware are too sophisticated and inventive. Well, what, the enemy must be respected and know what he is capable of, to more effectively counter it.
- Further in article. What is the best antivirus just for you and your needs. What is the difference between free antivirus? What is the difference between paid and free antivirus softwareHow much do they cost and on what basis are viruses found? How to organize the protection of your home computer?
Every day I serve a lot of computers and noticed that a free antivirus would be enough for a home PC. Kaspersky Anti-Virus Yandex Version or Microsoft Security Essentials can avast! Free antivirus or AVG Antivirus Free Edition, plus you definitely need a utility (for example, Anvir Task Manager) that controls autoloading. Periodically, you can download Dr.Web, the constantly updated Dr.Web CureIt anti-virus scanner, and scan your system about once a week. Do not neglect the same programs. But all these need to be able to use and apply on time, and not when you want. How to download, install and use, read on. Also, you will find information about paid antivirus programs ESET NOD32, Kaspersky Internet Security, Norton Antivirus.
- The whole secret of successful in most cases, protection against viruses, is not the best antivirus. The fact is that protection needs to be built in a complex, several anti-virus tools should be used at once, by the way, they are all free. The first controls autoload, since any malware that has outwitted your antivirus program and entered your system first makes its own changes to the registry, naturally for autorun and further destructive presence in the system. If the virus succeeds, its activity and destructive actions on our computer are provided at the next system boot.
To avoid this, download and install free application Anvir Task Manager. This is a good and easy-to-manage program that will make changes to autoload, only with your permission. Do not neglect her, personally I always advise her to everything, from time immemorial. How to download, install and how to use, step by step described in our article or go to the official website of the program
http://www.anvir.net/. If you suspect the presence of virus activity in the system, you can also use the Autoruns.exe utility from Windows Sysinternals, which works without installation. For more information about these applications, you can read in our article.
Secondly, this is a basic protection, that is, a constantly updated antivirus program with good Resident and File Protection, by the way, an excellent antivirus can be free (read on). To choose an antivirus program, you need at least a little to know what features an antivirus has that pretends to be installed on your computer. It can be said that all antivirus programs basically use the same methods for malware detection. Here are the most important of them, present both in free antiviruses and in paid ones, so to speak, the basis of any antivirus.
- First of all. File protection - the use of signatures (numerical characteristics) and viruses checksums already existing in the antivirus database or, more simply, it will be used to determine which antivirus determines whether the file being scanned by it is a virus or not (this is why it is very important to keep the antivirus program up-to-date and timely, even free). In other words, the antivirus, scanning your computer, finds a file that, according to the information it has in its database, is definitely a virus for all signs and warns you about it naturally. Therefore, it is better to have a constantly updated free anti-virus program on your computer than a paid one, but for some reason you cannot receive updates for it. And now you have a question. Will your antivirus program find a new virus written just a few days ago and whose signature is missing from its databases? No, it will not, we can only hope for heuristics and resident protection.
- Resident protection (contains proactive defense) - translated as background or in other words invisible. The antivirus module resides in RAM and controls the behavior of all programs in the system. If any application is suspicious, for example, the program wants to modify (change) system file or worse, to take control of the system, the resident protection blocks these actions of the application and asks the user to allow changes to the system or not, while warning what this may turn into in the end.
Let's take a closer look at all our anti-virus programs. And the most important thing is to find out what is not in the free and what is in the paid anti-virus software.
Friends, many readers asked in their letters to make a review of the free Comodo internet security antivirus. What can I say, antivirus worthy and contains everything that should have a real modern antivirus. We should also mention the firewall and the updated sandbox, it is now called the Virtual Kiosk. A virtual kiosk is a virtual environment isolated from the main operating system that has its own desktop. Many applications can now be tested for malware by running inside a virtual kiosk (sandbox), without the risk of infecting the main system.
Experienced users surely know this antivirusny product. If you periodically monitor various tests, comparisons and evaluations of antivirus products, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition was the winner in them more than once.
A distinctive feature of Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is minimalism in the management settings, which I personally like, because it does not contain anything superfluous, only the most basic.
Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition has everything you need to protect your computer:
Resident protection - provides constant automatic protection against malware.
Heuristics - the ability to detect and neutralize previously unknown types of threats.
Protection against phishing (fraudulent) sites.
The Czech product, the last year right happy, often updated, has a built-in anti-rootkit, as well as anti-spyware Anti-Spyware. AVG Antivirus Free Edition also has a paid version of AVG Antivirus, it is updated more often and has the AVG LinkScanner module (checking links and web pages).
(you can use it for free all the time). How to download, install and configure for maximum protection, written a detailed article.If this antivirus was absolutely free, it would be just super!
In Windows 10 integrated into the system windows antivirus Microsoft's Defender has been renamed to Windows 10 Defender.
Free antispyware
Paid antivirus solutions
As for only paid antivirus programs, a lot of work has been done with ESET NOD32, as well as Kaspersky Internet Security and Zemana AntiMalware. Frankly, the protection they have built on top and I like them all, I must pay tribute to the people who created these products.
ESET NOD32 (Slovakia) site - esetnod32.r u developed by ESET, which appeared in 1992, is very popular, mainly because of the speed of work, a kind of European intellectual, works fast, consumes little operating system resources, is very convenient even for a beginner interface, is updated several times a day.
Note: read our article "", and also legally take without registration, and then how to check your computer for viruses.
Buying a program on the official website 1,080 rubles for three computersIt will cost you less than a boxed version, somewhere in the store, according to my observations 1,350 - 1,600 rubles. By the way, there are two versions of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and ESET NOD32 Antivirus Smart security, the second is more expensive 1 690 rub. Also on the official website there is a good and. Disadvantages, rarely can cure an infected file, naturally then offers to delete.
Why do you need a firewall on your computer?
A firewall, also known as a firewall, is a special program that protects against a certain type of malware that aims to gain access to a computer via the Internet or local network. As a rule, these are network worms and hacker attackers. To do this, the firewall checks data from the Internet or a local area network, then decides whether to block this data or allow it to be transferred to a computer.
Friends, you ask why you need a firewall! Look at any anti-virus program, this is not just one program for a long time (as it was recently), but several unified powerful tools with multi-level protection, and even with cloud technologies: HIPS (proactive defense), advanced heuristics, firewall, protection against phishing and vulnerabilities, antispam, parental control and God knows what else will be added soon. All this is forced by the dangers that await us on the Internet and the very first blow is taken by none other than our firewall!
Common disadvantages of both paid and free antiviruses
This is the inability to cure a file infected with a virus; in this case, all anti-virus programs offer to remove the infected file. Another tip, you should not install two anti-virus programs at once, this is unnecessary.
Well, you almost chose an anti-virus program for yourself and thought that soon you will be completely safe. But this friends are not. Install any antivirus program, paid or free, how good it was not, the probability of infection of your system will always be. In general, friends, this part of the article could be called "How to avoid malware infection."
For complete security, you need to be very careful and selective in their actions at the computer, especially on the Internet. We bring the main part of the viruses with us from the network, but here we know what we are not offered to download, install, buy, make money and even marry or get married, do not lose your head in the flow of this information. After active Internet sessions, scan your entire computer for viruses. In large organizations, viruses are often spread using flash drives brought from home, by the way on a flash drive, you can bring a virus from work. If you connected your flash drive to another computer, when you come home, be sure to check it for viruses. Or use the USB Disk Security program from www.zbshareware.com, it will protect your USB flash drive from almost any threat, although the program is paid.
The sum of all that I have said above is your the best antivirus.
If you are still interested in my opinion, then the best paid antiviruses are ESET NOD32 and Zemana AntiMalware.
Best free - Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
- The search for malicious software is a top priority. In order for the program to cope with it better than other alternatives (even if they are paid ones), we supplied it with 5 engines at once. Among them, cloud cloud 360 Cloud, which removes the extra load from the system, Bitdefender, popular in the world, and System Repair of affected data, deserve special attention.
This interaction allows 360 Total security quickly find, locate and destroy any threat to your data. - Cleaning hard drives and registry from junk files. Special add-ons allow you to find programs that you have not used for a long time. Powerful free antivirus with one click launches check disks and registry, after which the system boots and runs much faster.
- Another reason to download powerful antivirus free updates. All subsequent versions will be available to our users under the same conditions as FREEWARE is now. This means that, unlike licensed software, which requires investments annually, our
Surely each of us had a question which antivirus is better? Which program or even software package will better cope with the possible attack of various viruses, spyware, unwanted "add-ons", bars and other not-so-nice add-ons and advertisements that can penetrate each of our computers. And even if they do not “break” anything and spoil it, you should perfectly understand: the problem of viruses has several facets. Yes, and dangerous trojans and worms are improving so quickly that, without timely action, it’s impossible to keep track of all this “evil spirits”. “What is to be done?” - immediately slips right by in thoughts. Is it really impossible to protect yourself one hundred percent, once and for all get rid of the problem of annoying viruses? And if possible, the most powerful and high quality? Dr. Web, Avast, ESET NOD 32 or Kaspersky? Or maybe Norton or AVG? Or is it generally better to use a firewall? Oh, my head is spinning on all the variety of proposals of various companies and firms that are developing antivirus programs. It turns out that not everything is as sad as it may seem at first glance, and this article confirms this.
First of all, I want to encourage you: although there are a lot of viruses on the Internet, on flash drives and other media, you can protect your favorite computer with them along with documents and valuable information. To do this, first choose reliable antivirusand, secondly, adhere to several important and not at all complex rules and recommendations, which will be described in detail below. Believe me, after reading this manual, you will definitely be able to determine for yourself what is the best antivirusand install it on your computer, and you will also be informationally “savvy” and armed. After all, as they say, who is warned, he is ready to repel virus attacks on his computer.
Speaking about modern antiviruses, it is worth noting such an important feature: before choosing a program, answer the question: are you ready to pay for it or do you want to find the best free antivirus? Do not neglect this moment: it is very important, because, in the end, most of the users choose the antivirus program based on this criterion. And then an internal contradiction begins: on the one hand, you do not want to risk installing free antivirus programs, on the other - where are the guarantees that paid counterparts will cope with their duties better? Yes, and they cost a lot, which is a disadvantage for all their merits, beautiful boxes and guarantees.
Dispel the first myth: the answer to the question which antivirus to chooseis not directly related to its value. Free options also cope well with their responsibilities, moreover, some free antiviruses do not have competitive analogues. For example, free Cureit from Doctor Web, you can read more about it.
The second myth: antivirus is a panacea. Not at all. Moreover, even when installing the most powerful and up-to-date anti-virus package, much in terms of security will depend on the user, who may follow suspicious links in letters, download incomprehensible files and various “freebies” on the Internet. Moreover, some viruses are so cunning that even the most attentive antiviruses cannot “catch” them. Do not believe? Then meet or c.
The third myth: there is an unequivocal answer to the question which antivirus is betterthey say that just one of all the antiviruses described below is the most-most, and all the rest are worse, weaker, more limited, etc. No, it is not. Each of the samples presented has both its own merits and weak points. And the best solution for you will be the most convenient combination of all the pros and cons, but more on that later.
Let's finally move on to the immediate selection of the best antivirus. In the article, we consider the following, the most well-known quality samples, which are known, if not to the whole world, then to a significant part of it: ESET NOD 32 (Smart Security), Kaspersky Antivirus, Avast AntivirusDr. Web, AVG. Of course, such a list can be continued indefinitely, however, it is on one of the above that you will most certainly stop after reading the article.
The best antivirus. ESET NOD 32 (Smart Security).
The famous Slovak antivirus has repeatedly saved thousands of computers and servers all over the world. You can learn more about how to install NOD 32 by clicking. Its advantages include the ability to work with both folders and files. local computer, and with advertising \\ unwanted emails on the Internet. In addition, this antivirus well blocks various dangerous sites, unwanted "aggressive advertising" (everyone probably saw all sorts of jumping geeks, faces and even zombies on some sites) and various resources that managed to become famous for stealing and cheating on the Internet. The speed of its work is generally high, the scanners work both in normal mode, and users are manually called to check disks, flash drives, etc.
As for the minuses, this is its “conditional” gratuity: you can install and configure ESET NOD 32 (Smart Security) for free, but after a trial period of thirty days you will be asked to buy an activation key to update the program. And without updating the anti-virus database, it will not “react” to new viruses and spywaretherefore, to put it mildly, there will be very little use to it. Is there a way to continue to use ESET NOD 32 for free? Yes, there is such a way. You can read about it.
The next minus is the difficulty in removing the program. Although it’s probably not a minus, but a developer’s flaw, however, as a user, this will not be easier. You need to correctly remove NOD 32, otherwise there will be trouble in the form of “jambs” and conflicts when installing other antiviruses, operating system glitches, and so on. Another nuance that often makes users unhappy: too meticulous, meticulous checking, which takes a lot of time to scan a computer. Either constant check for updates, because of what the users themselves. Although for some it is the opposite - a big plus.
Estimation of ESET NOD 32 (Smart Security)from site site: 4,8/5
The best antivirus. Kaspersky Antivirus
The best way to check the quality of antivirus is to look at working with it. You can view free video tutorials about how, or, if it’s the other way around, do not suit you,.
If we talk about it in general, it is a good antivirus from Russian developers, which is used, including in many public and private enterprises, as well as more than a million users from all over the world.
Its advantages were and remain good "defensive work" with viruses on all fronts, checking various files regardless of the extension, archive or other features, which is important when "catching" Trojans and other unwanted programs. It is also worth mentioning the possibility of partially or completely restricting advertising on websites, which will not only get rid of annoying banners, but also increase computer protection.
The disadvantages are, of course, the rather high price and the need to constantly pay for Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Among other things, it is worth noting the extremely high load on the computer at the time of scanning the computer, its braking and hanging. And if in the past it was fraught with problems with operating systemnow it’s just an uncomfortable “wait”, which is limited to 10-15 minutes a day. A lot or a little - of course, you decide. Also of the problems with Kaspersky can distinguish his "over-protection." As with NOD 32, this antivirus already loves to control everything. This translates into blocking some programs that are not really dangerous: Skype, ICQ, some games and applications. Of course, all this is customizable and you can turn off its intrusiveness, but it takes time, which not everyone has.

The best antivirus. Avast! Free antivirus
If you do not want to pay at all on the Internet, then best free antivirus (or at least one of the best) - this is avast! Free Antivirus. Be sure to read about getting a free key and working with it.
Its advantages: completely free, it is hardly necessary to comment on anything here. Next - the speed of work, which pleasantly surprises. There are no problems with freezing the computer, waiting for verification, etc. Avast has several customizable modes: gaming, standard, full protection. It scans all traffic that goes from the Internet to the side of the computer, so you should not worry about security when working with mail or most sites.
Of the minuses, of course, his “imperfection” in terms of meticulousness: if past antiviruses, like guards, protect a “computer fortress”, checking everyone who enters the threshold, then Avast is less critical of “guests”, and sometimes it has bad consequences.

The best antivirus. Dr. Web Antivirus.
Speaking of this antivirus, it is again necessary to repeat about the presence of excellent free program Cureit. As for the main anti-virus protection package, here, alas, everything again comes up against its payment.
As for the positive moments, this is the “master archives”. Doctor Web will check the archive of any nesting and complexity, perfectly deal with encryption, protecting you from the contents of the "Pandora's box." Therefore, if you often work with them, use the Web. The speed of the antivirus is barely noticeable, so it’s not particularly sinful to “slow down”. Deep scan, Internet scanner - the antivirus also has all this arsenal, and it is very pleasing.
Disadvantages: constant payment for keys, the need to confirm that in the past you already purchased keys and registered them, the need to periodically download and completely update not only the bases, but also the program itself, which is clearly inconvenient, especially when it comes to office computers with "restrictions".

Also I will pay attention in the article to such antiviruses as AVG, Avira Antivirus, Panda and their analogues. Of course, you can install them, work with them and use them, considering them to be the best. And if there are no special questions on AVG, it’s really a good program, though it’s less well-known among us (although it’s sometimes difficult to understand, for example), be careful with Panda and Avira. Their free of charge fully meets their “holes” and flaws, due to which new worms and Trojans constantly fly into the system. No, I don’t scare you at all, just pass on my own experience in working with such programs that clearly don’t meet the criteria for which antivirus is better.
Summing up, I would like to note that the final answer to the question which antivirus is the besteveryone has their own. Do not argue and bicker about this, because everyone will have their own reasons. The main thing - use it wisely and do not neglect the basic safety recommendations, which I promised to tell you:
1.
Do not open attachments to letters from unknown people. If you have sent something to your friends or acquaintances, without prior warning about this, it is better to ask them personally if they sent you something by mail. Perhaps their mail was hacked.
2.
Do not believe in easy money, freebies, surprises and bright banners with beautiful headers. In 99% of cases, this is a hoax, which can be the cause of installing various programs with viruses on your computer, infecting important files and stealing data.
3.
Use proven sites, read reviews of unknown resources from other users.
4.
Scan ALL the files you downloaded from the Internet with your antivirus, be it best free antivirus or his paid "colleague".
5.
Check the flash drive before opening. The same applies to disks, floppy disks (if you still use them).
6.
Do scheduled scans of your computer in deep mode at least once in 1-1.5 months.
7.
And be prudent!
I am sure that by this time you have almost decided, what is the best antivirus for your computer. Download it from the official website of the company-developer and install it safely on your computer, after removing other antiviruses, if any. Successes!
