Antivirus Security Software Review

Buying an Antivirus Software

There many antivirus software products on the market. Every antivirus software is highly advertised on the Internet, and everyone claims to be the best in removing viruses, Trojan horses and maleware. The best antivirus companies as for today are: Symantec, Avast, NOD32, Kaspersky, AVG, Panda, Checkpoint and Avira. Of course there are many other companies, which manufacturer Internet security software. If you intend to buy a new security software, you should probably buy a separate antivirus software and a firewall software separately.

Read Reviews Before Buying

I've read many reviews on antivirus software on the Internet, like on CNet, PC Magazine and other related sites. I found that sometimes you can be well defended against viruses and Trojan horses, by using free occupier software, like the one AVG has to offer, instead of buying a costly antivirus software.

Integrated Antivirus and Firewall Package

Some companies will sell you an integrated antivirus software with a firewall software, in one Internet security package. Symantec is one of the leading Internet security software companies, and you can buy their brand-new Internet security 360 or Norton antivirus 360, for complete defend against viruses, Trojan horses, spyware and maleware, and even fight spam in your mailbox.

Popular Antivirus Software in Israel

In Israel, the most popular antivirus software is AVG antivirus 8.5, and also the free version of AVG. Panda antivirus, has also gained a lot of popularity in Israel. Another two products, which are very recommended for securing your computer against viruses are BitDefender antivirus solution and Avira. Avira has gained many awards in the antivirus industry field, detecting almost 100% detection rate of viruses in the wild. After reading many reviews about detection rates  about virus software, I came to a conclusion, that Avira is probably the best antivirus software for the money. I wouldn't buy their Internet security suit with an integrated firewall, by their antivirus solution is a top-notch.

Top 10 Antivirus Products

Even on top 10 antivirus reviews on the Internet, I found that both Avira and BitDifender 2009, received higher ranks and awards. There is a long list of free and paid antivirus software, and the decision is not that easy. You can even buy a previous version of antivirus software (2008), and maybe you will get a less sophisticated product, but at least you would have get protection against database viruses, file and CPU viruses and many other melicious codes.

As 2010 is coming soon, new products would be emerged, especially that free antivirus software for download in many shareware and freeware sites, like CNet and tucows.com. The most important thing is to get your computer protected, by buying any antivirus software or Internet security software from the least above.

Antivirus for Gaming - Low Impact on System Performance

Some gaming antivirus software a dedicated for gaming. Many gamers want the lightest antivirus software when they play online multiplayer games, which won't impact the PC performance while playing games. Some antivirus software just disables the protection and some of them enable you to get the same protection, but without the impact on system performance.

Recommendation

I recommend buying only legit products and not download any antivirus software from rapidshare or other places, where you can get that software with viruses and Trojan horses inside them. So if you intend to protect your computer from viruses, use only legit and or regional products. Some scanners a slow and some are fast, the best thing you can do is buy a new Internet security or antivirus software today be protected.
