Hello everyone, Today I am going to share some of the worthy Anti Virus Softwares that you must install to protect your PC or Laptop from malicious activities such as - Virus, Spyware, Malware, Trojan, Worm etc. Especially, it is recommended to install one if your PC/Laptop running Windows OS. If Linux/Unix/Mac, then it is quite secured, there are least number of virus attacks were found.
Firstly, I want to let you know guys that, there are two types of Anti Virus Softwares you can own - Free Based and Paid Based.
So, among these two, if you want to secure your system then I will not suggest you to go with the free softwares because they will provide you partial security which means, it can remove those viruses which are less effective and are older. It will just show you the viruses but will not clean them, instead it will delete that file permanently from your system. Moreover, in most cases you cannot install updates definitions and are not optimized which results slowing down the System.
Now, for the Paid based Anti Virus Softwares, you can go and install. But, I will suggest some price worthy Anti Virus Programs that are very good in real time performance:
a. McAfee - It is one of the best anti virus software, I have used till now. Good UI with good number of features. Also comes in different versions and supports windows os, mac, linux. You will receive daily updates too.
b. Kaspersky - It is also a very good anti virus software, it also provides you bunch of tools to make your pc safe. The scan engine is fast. The good thing about this product is it scans every files in deep of any compressed packages also. You will also get daily updates. They also provides a Kaspersky widget which is quite handy.
c. Bit Defender - Bit Defender is also very good anti virus program with tons of features and easy to use interface. Also the price is cheaper than Kaspersky. It comes with different versions too. Provides regular updates.
d. Net Protector Anti Virus( NPAV) - Although, the name is not very common among all the other mentioned anti virus. But it is one of the killer anti virus. I have personally used this for 3 years and have a great experience. The most amazing thing is the memory scan which scans automatically in about 10 seconds every time when you start your pc/laptop. The scanning engine is amazingly fast. The UI is also simple and clean. Provides daily updates. The price is also cheaper as compared to other products.
So, as conclusion, go with any of the product mentioned above. All works seamlessly. I am using Kaspersky Internet Security currently.
