    Norton Internet Security 2013 is much better than previous versions. Symantec is finally getting their sh*t together not killing systems

    I decided to give Kaspersky Pure a go. I like it so far. It even has sandbox built in (not working fully on x64).

    COMODO,

    1. fully 64 bit support.

    2. AV + Firewall + Defence Plus = Fully Free

    3. constantly produce new releases and new abilities.

    4. I try some files with lots of badware in my business pc (our company people uses mse, comodo, norton, eset, avira and avast)

    Comodo had best score for catching.

    I try lots of amateur tests from my pc and I think comodo is the best.

    And I need assistance for test page links for security suites. Because, I like test my security program.

    COMODO bad only advertising.

    When you installed?

    maybe older ver. programs had more bugs and databases have many false-positives but comodo makes lots of retouch, programs more good and databases better for folse-positives.

    Hello,

    Advanced System Protector is the best paid antivirus engine of 2012 because it is an effective solution to find and remove malware infections present on your Computer system. apart from this it also provides protection shields against malware threats. it is extremely light on system resources

    After ~two months of ESET NOD32 use I'm really pleased about the engine of this Antivirus. The best that I've used.

    No false-positives, slight resources usage, professional memory scan engine and more.

    And no infections since I started using it.

    I am running avast! free antivirus FTW and im quit happy with it.

    What are the reasons I should pay for an AV?

    I dont care about technical support if that's the difference but what else?

    how good is the avast engine compared to the big sharks like kaspersky, Bitdefender, Trend Micro, and Eset?

    And for a paid AV, which one would you go for? I had Kaspersky before and it was too heavy on my system even though my system is pretty darn fast. BitDefender caused me a myriad of random errors and crashed even on the v2013, and ESET just gets very bad scores in online tests now they have dropped the ball ever since their reign in the past years when they used to be the lightest / most secure?

    What would j00 r3comm3end for m3|-| ???

    Sorry for being negative about this, but hasn't this question been asked and answered too many times in this and in other forums?!
    Everybody has his/her favorite AV, try something else and see if you like it.

    And you already have an answer to this question on AnandTech forums :espresso:

    FYI: I use ESET, and I pay for it because I think it's worth paying for.
