Antivirus Comparison, Compare Antivirus Virus Detection and Removal
Found an interesting piece of information while was browsing the internet for more information regarding which AntiVirus should I install for my new computer, and needless to say I was caught off guard with the results, I concur that Norton had been my favorite antivirus for the past 8 years, they are known to be buggy, slow and hog on cpu and memory resources, however, time after time Norton prooved to be a relatively reliable antivirus as oppose to other antvirus I’ve installed.
Anyway, according to AntiVirus Comparison, AntiVir Premium has the best detection rate among all the other anti-virus software in the market, beating Norton by less than 1%, but that’s not all, apart from the virus detection capability, AntiVir is also known for its relatively low memory and CPU usage.
Download the free edition Avira AntiVir Personal – the FREE Antivirus is only available for single computer use for home and non commercial use. What’s the catch? Unlike the premium version, the free AntiVir does not comes with AntiSpam, Firewall, AntiSpyware, and all the bell and whistle. It is just a simple AntiVirus software that does the job.
