What antiviruses are the most effective today? what do you use and what can you advise from this list:
Eset
Kasperskiy
Scanguard
Avast
Norton
By the way, my preferences are consistent with antivirus rating. What about level of protection; mcafee review (https://bestantiviruspro.org/review/mcafee-review/)?

Common sense.

All most anti-virus do is check for signatures. The best protection against malware is always being smart (not downloading random shit, not falling for phishing scams, etc...); I stopped using an anti-virus years ago and I'm pretty sure I never got any malware on my computer. It's honestly not that hard.

This. No other antivirus could save you when you easily fall for drive-by downloads and scams.

Agreed. Also, real time/resident AV programs require unparalleled access to the most sensitive & vulnerable areas of your OS. I'd rather police my own browsing/downloading behavior than
 let AV software into my "perimeter"

Antivirus helps you a lot, even those who say that they will not save. Yes, this is true but only in part. The most common viruses from which the PC is infected, the antivirus sees and removes it. I use eset myself

Run a small hard drive with powerful RAM on a high-speed machine. Every time you are done, download your stuff onto a small flash drive where you can view what is happening in the download... for transfer to your working computer. Then wipe your small hard drive, reload the OS from a DVD, and start over.

I have no antivirus right now, I used to have Avast and it was working perfect.

1. CCleaner- https://www.ccleaner.com
2. Eusing cleaner- http://www.eusing.com/free_system_cleaner/system_cleaner.htm
3. MalwareBytes- https://www.malwarebytes.com

Each one is freeware I am personally run each at start up.

This, and dropping windows are a solid steps in the right direction... There is no reason to do any internet browsing in a windows, and much less handle money or crypto with it when you have plenty of good and safe alternatives (https://distrowatch.com/).

I have AVG running on my desktop 24 hours a day.
Free software can be found with an easy google search.

None. They only did harm to me so far.

Avast is always and effective since high school!

eset is best for me. Its very helpfull to me

i use avast but still for protection also scan files on virustotal

In my opinion NP-AV antivirus is the best

F-secure! Because it is Finnish  8)

Common sense, the best antivirus.
Just do not go where you should not. Profit

I use Kaspersky, an excellent antivirus

Now I use Eset and am satisfied. I used to use Avast, but it loads the system. :(

For me, not all antivirus are the same, because there are these antiviruses that instead of helping you, will give you more problems because some uses your ram even though it didn't need it, just like in trading sites. In the antiviruses, I think the one of the best if not the best are avast and eset because of its user-friendly graphic and they are really effective in terminating and blocking viruses.

Ohh yeah, but if you will pick one to those 2 antivirus you have mention, whom will you choose?

If in trading site, it is very easy to choose which is the best trading site for me in my long experience as a trader and it is non other than bitrus (http://mkt.bitrus.com/signup/?utm_source=crowdcreate&utm_medium=agency&utm_campaign=btrs_ico&utm_content=kickoff) , but for an antivirus, I think those two are equal and it will only matter on you, the user. With any of these two antivirus softwares and with your intelligence not to the things that will make you prone to viruses then they are all equal.

Have to agree with this. If you consider how new strains of malware emerge every 4.2 seconds (https://www.gdatasoftware.com/blog/2017/04/29666-malware-trends-2017), it is basically impossible for any anti-virus to keep up. Your best protection like what TryNingja said is to be smart.

Yes, If you have not some basic knowledge so impossible protection myself, New malware system is very updated If Windows10 user So I think best that always update Windows defender (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/comprehensive-security)  It is safe and helpful.

The antivirus that I discovered since I studied at the University has always been the NOD 32, it is an antivirus that is always updated and is able to detect even the pages with possible pishing, as I combine it with a software called Advanced System Care, which brings many useful tools that keep the PC fully optimized, I really recommend this combination.

I don't use antivirus, but this puts it in perspective for me. Really something to think about.

I don't think antiirus can save us from lot of internet threats but till I am having avast on my PC which is good for that price we are paying when compared to most premium ones.

But you need to keep yourself safe while surfing internet so learn how to stay away from phishing aites and always check the domanins you are entering just avoid the randomads on the side of google and other porn related websites.
