There are no rogue or second class antivirus programs on this page. All of these antivirus programs are either highly rated by AV-Comparatives, ICSA certified and/or have received the VB100% and West Coast Labs Checkmark awards (Member status). That means they're the best.

I recommend downloading a trial of any security software before you buy unless you are sure it is the one you want. Some vendors on this page e.g. CyberScrub AVG and AVAST! will allow you to download a trial of their product right from the Buy page.

For your consideration I will give you my recommendations based on simplicity and effectiveness:

  1. Kaspersky & ESET NOD32
  2. McAfee
  3. BitDefender 10
  4. ez-Trust
  5. CyberScrub
  6. Kaspersky Personal Pro
  7. Trend Micro
  8. AVAST!
  9. Panda

** Remember always to fully uninstall any Antivirus before you install a new one. Any remnants of the previous Antivirus will conflict with your new antivirus and often cause serious problems for your PC. See my section on how to remove Norton. Follow the procedure there to remove your previous antivirus before you install your new one.**



CyberScrub is maybe the best deal on an AV. It's actually made by Kaspersky. CyberScrub bought Kasperky's Kaspersky Lite and made it their own. With CyberScrub AV you get a 5 yr. license. Whereas with the other AVs you only get a one year license for the same price. Making the deal even better is you also get the highly rated Kerio firewall with it for the same price.




Here's the CyberScrub interface:

Users of laptops benefit from an economy mode that conserves battery energy, while users of WiFi (wireless) Internet services can automatically update antivirus databases. The program has been optimized for use on laptops based on Intel Centrino mobile technology, and for use on computers with Intel processors that support Hyper-Threading technology.

Scanning of Internet traffic.
All HTTP Internet traffic is scanned for viruses in real-time, ensuring that infected objects are not saved to the computer’s hard disk.

Protection for file systems.
Individual files, catalogues and disks can be designated for antivirus scanning. Users can limit antivirus scanning to critical areas of the operating system and startup objects to ensure that attention is focused on the most vulnerable areas of the system.

2. Proactive protection

Control over changes in the file system.
With Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 it is possible to compile lists of applications, the component structure of which will be controlled, thus helping to prevent malicious programs from undermining the integrity of the application.

Monitors processes in the memory.
The product monitors the activity of programs and processes that have been launched in the computer’s memory and, at the same time, warns users of any dangerous, suspicious or hidden processes (that is, rootkits), and of unauthorized changes in routine processes.

Monitors changes in the operating system registry.
The application controls the status of the system registry and notifies users of any suspicious objects or attempts to create hidden keys in the registry.

Blocks dangerous macros.
Proactive protection affords control over the operation of macros based on Visual Basic for Applications in Microsoft Office documents and blocks dangerous macro-commands from being executed.

System restore.
The system can be restored after malicious activity. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 can roll back any changes made to the system by malicious programs.

3. Fast operating speeds

Technology for accelerated antivirus scanning.
iSwift and iChecker technology make it possible to limit scanning to new and modified files, or to limit scanning to potentially dangerous objects only. Antivirus scanning can be suspended during times of increased user activity to ensure that your computer’s resources are free for your use.

Integrated protection from spam.
Several methods are used in combination to ensure the highest possible level of spam detection, including blacklists and whitelists of IP addresses and word combinations typical of spam together with self-learning algorithms.
