AV Comparatives – The Best Antivirus Software Comparison Chart
Which is the best antivirus with high detectability rate? Which is the best antivirus for corporate and enterprise with good detection rate? AV Comparatives is an organization dedicated in benchmarking the performance of various antivirus. Read the latest report released on August 2009, the following test is based on ‘On demand detection of malicious software includes false alarm and scanning speed’. The following antivirus was tested:
- avast! Professional Edition 4.8
- AVG Anti-Virus 8.5
- AVIRA AntiVir Premium 9
- BitDefender Antivirus 2010
- eScan Anti-Virus 10
- ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus 4.0
- F-Secure Anti-Virus 2010
- G DATA AntiVirus 2010 (Hardware)
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010
- Kingsoft Antivirus 2009
- McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009
- Microsoft Live OneCare 2.5
- Norman Antivirus & Anti-Spyware 7.10
- Sophos Anti-Virus 7.6
- Symantec Norton Anti-Virus 2010
- TrustPort Antivirus 2009
Do note that G Data is a German security solution, it is a hardware based security. I was surprised by Kaspersky’s performance, and the sudden increase in reliability of Norton Antivirus. I am a Norton user for many years, and based on my own experience, the best ‘antivirus’ is still our browsing habit. They are:
- Avoid downloading unknown attachment
- Do not visit suspicious websites
- Do not install unknown applications such as screensavers or toolbars from unreliable source
- Avoid downloading ‘free’ pirated software from torrent

A-Squared 4.5 – Download Free Anti-Spyware And Anti-Virus For Windows
Where to download free antivirus for Windows XP, Vista and 7? I guess the best antivirus benchmark is none other than personal experience. Somehow every antivirus company has their own graph that says their antivirus has the best detection rate among all their competitors, I don’t really know what sort of benchmark they used, but I find it rather distasteful and unconvinced by all of their graphs.
If you’re looking for free antivirus for Windows, A Squared is the new kid on the block. Unlike other antivirus, A Squared is a combination of two products – the a-squared Anti-Spyware, and the Ikarus Anti-Virus engine.
Just like any other antivirus on the market, it removes Trojans, Backdoors, Keyloggers, Spyware, Adware, Tracking Cookies, Worms, Bots, Viruses and Dialers.
If you’re sick and tired of AVG, Avira and the other entire free antivirus available online, try A Squared. The good thing about smaller antivirus company is that they are less likely to be a target of Malware writers, usually software writers tend to code their viruses to bypass Antivirus such as Norton, McAfee, CA, AVG, Panda, and more. Download A-Squared Free AntiVirus.
