For pc/Laptop
Which is the best quality antivirus that has the ability to detect most viruses and keep safe of your all documents. Personally i have been using kaspersky antivirus for a long time but at some point i saw a reaction to the deletion of some document.

Here is some list of top good quality antivirus:
1. Bitdefender antivirus
2. Norton antiVirus
3. Kaspersky antivirus
4. F-Secure antiVirus
5. Trend Micro antiVirus
6. Webroot SecureAnywhere antiVirus
7. ESET NOD32 antiVirus
8. Norton antiVirus

Opf my next target Bitdefender , so what do you think? It's good ?

I also like Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Before him I used NOD32, but he was not so impressed with his results.

For windows users, there is a Windows defender. It's free and it's good to use based from what I've heard as long as you are also a good user and don't download any random stuff on the internet.

Currently, I'm in trial with ESET and will buy a license if I think it's good before the trial expires.

Windows defender is enough  for security for windows user but problem is we are maximumme user use to windows cracked version for save money also windows  defender is no supported some third party useful application.

ESET internet security are good for the windows user and comfortable price is I hope it is another best service provider.

Yup. Been using Windows Security Essentials for over 5 years without any issues. As long as you stay away from those dodgy stuffs, you'll do fine even without an AV.

But when it comes to ransomware, you might want to consider getting one that is quick enough to block the attack. That's when WSE falls short.

Linux :)

Most of the time Anti virus will delete some of the system file while cleaning and it ends up crashing the OS, personally I had experienced this many time so I just stopped using it anymore.

Yes.

That's for Win Def users and that is why I have advised to be careful in what you download and the source of it. You will not know if it contains a malware or adware.

And my experience for ESET, so far so good and it has detected the old file that I've downloaded years ago that contains which seem to be a miner.

Ditto. Being behind a good firewall helps, too.

I use avast until today...
I have been very comfortable using avast, so far I have found no threats at all on my laptop, I use avast paid and only pay $ 12 / year.

there are many valid antivirus around but my two favorites are avira and windows defender that don't have more features but I feel comfortable with them

I do not use any antivirus as I feel they themselves are viruses. With technology getting improved day by day, every browser now has a built in anti malware and anti spyware scanner, the rest is taken care by Windows defender.

Since i used it with free ;D trial
$12 for a year? Sound like good even if there has comfortable performance. My and my friend very impressed in bitdefender antivirus plus as like first time.

I think that Kaspersky is the most thorough and exhaustive software, as it is not just an antivirus, but a complete Internet Security suite. But it is expensive and it consumes a lot of resources from your PC. But if you are willing to spend money for it and if you have a power PC, it's a great option.

BitDefender is a Romanian antivirus and a very good one. It was developed many years ago and I tried it back then as a curiosity for seeing how good is this Romanian product, as I am also Romanian. Surprisingly, it is very good. Now I have it installed on my phone.

Other good products are also Avira and AVG, but they aren't listed in OP. These ones (and BitDefender as well) have also free versions - not trial, but free. I'd advise though to choose an antivirus included in an Internet Security suite, not just a simple antivirus software. Security suites offer more protection than a simple antivirus is able to, including web protection, mail protection, firewall, ad-aware protection and many other features.

Also, as an issue of note: OP, you posted Norton antivirus twice, at positions 2. and 8. :)

I installed Kaspersky and a lite antivirus from China for daily use!

Don't know how you using the antivirus,

for me, the Kaspersky is closed most of time, and only use the lite antivirus, everything is OK for years of running!

But there were many fake malware projects in the Altcoin ANN forum last year,  the Kaspersky helped to kill those backdoors!

I used to have AVG as my antivirus.
It was decent and it removed a lot of malware from my computer. However, I noticed that all antiviruses were very heavy and it was harming the performance of my computer so i uninstalled everything and now I am very careful with the exe that I am installing on my computer and the websites that I visit.

There is no truer truth than this. Its amazing how many decades of the same have passed, and people still think there is nothing wrong with certain operating system being always a malware nest. As if a bunch of antivirus would solve the problem.

Hint: McAfee became known to the IT world for his MSDOS antivirus in the late 80ies. Its been THAT long, i clearly remember printing the WHOLE list of viruses the tool could remove: 11.

Have you learn anything yet? Go Linux and say goodbye to malware already...

You have Listed "Norton " twice fron number  2 and 8.

But yeah i am  a Norton user  and also TrendMicro antivirus .

though i have some others in my personal list but yeah,so far i am contented on my using.

Also in my list,i use AVG in my Lappy since that is the advice of my computer technician Friend .

I hope my PC doesn't get raped for me typing this but I don't use an antivirus. I haven't used one in years.

I just don't click on any popup ads, I have ad-blocker and when I'm browing... choicier websites I'm just more careful.

I do install a few suspicious .exe files every now and then but I assess the risk everytime. So far, so good.

I had use many antivirus software like Windows defender, ESET, Avast, Bitdefender, but I have recently installed Protegent Antivirus in my system and it is amazing and doesn’t affect the system performance.

This anti-virus is new to me.

How long have you been using that Anti-Virus? and if it's good with performance, how's the detection of malware and other threats to your PC?

Im using kaspersky for years already.

Good for detecting malware. Its my brother who recommended it to me.

I have always used Kaspersky Antivirus, but recently switched to the AVG Antivirus and I think this is the best antivirus.

Eset Internet Security

I used Avast for the longest time, but there were some problems with everyday use as things started to slow down.
Now I've gone with Norton thanks to that comparison - https://websitehowto.org/norton-vs-avast/ (https://websitehowto.org/norton-vs-avast/).
Right now, it seems like the right decision.

Norton Antivirus seems to be the simplest I exploit myself tons of fun Day by day Norton is occupying all types of markets Norton features a different reputation as a little resource and lightweight software. However repeatedly Norton deletes various patch files or crack files albeit there's no virus Much safer for computer security.

I think Bitdefender is good enough. I had used some antivirus but I get good result in Bitdefender than others antivirus. However, we know everyone has a different choice.

As you have tried a lot antiviruses what is the results that Bitdefender provides to you that other antiviruses don't?
I had Bitdefender installed in the past and i didn't find any special to it.

For me, I love and prefer to use the Bitdefender program, it is very reliable and safe and it was established since 1997 and has a great and strong protection force and I advise everyone to use it

In fact I would like to commend you for posting this I seldom see people who are in windows and yet do not have an anti virus installed it can be done really as long as you know every warning sign and you are educated on what to click and not to click and what to install and what are not you can also have a deepreeze installed and you don't have any anti virus and it will work fine.

I prefer the ESET NOD32 antiVirus antivirus, but it all depends on each taste.

I only use local antivirus smadav, because it's good enough for me.

I use Bitdefender antivirus. I've already tested a lot of antiviruses but this one is the best for me. I use the IObit pc optimizer (https://thinkmobiles.com/blog/best-pc-optimization-software/) inbuild Bitdefender engine.

Exactly how many hours you use the internet every day? Because you need a good antivirus if you use the internet for a long time every day. Also you know most virus attack our computer from internet.

If you have a cheap laptop, the antivirus will make it difficult for you to work on the laptop, so it's best not to use it at all. And if you still want to use, then you can choose any known antivirus, they are all about the same.

Windows Defender works fine. The last time I got a virus was over a year ago when I wasn't using an adblocker and something got downloaded on my PC. I also use the free version of Malwarebytes to occasionally scan my computer.

Today, there are a huge number of anti-virus, and for the most part, they are useless, antiviruses need large companies who want to protect valuable data, and the usual hard workers users if you have nothing to hide except for the folder with homework at 17gb, if you know what I mean)), nothing apart from the usual worms and trojans you can hardly find a mega cool virus that destroys your PC, it will be sufficient to protect ordinary browser extensions, like Yandex browser protect protection. Now I want to make out a few antiviruses that should be avoided in advance I want to say that the ideal antivirus is not, because, first, the virus creates, and only then to develop a tablet, there is already working community, who had to apply to the anti-virus company, and I must say that the Kaspersky Lab in the one step ahead.

I have to disagree with ivanov opinion, antivirus are a good line of defense for any Windows OS computer, helping keep the system safe from the tons of malware that are produced.

Among them i used Norton and Kaspersky antivirus. But i prefer Norton over Kaspersky. I think Kaspersky slows down the PC.

On my PC i have mostly used NOD antivirus and i have found it effective so my vote is for NOD.

I like using Ad-aware antivirus, its free and does the job. I used to have AVG for a long time due to the same reasons but havent installed it to my new laptop. Ad-aware and f-secure combo including (https://www.vpntesting.com/reviews/f-secure-freedome-vpn/) its vpn seems decent enough. It seems I am the only one using ad-aware in this forum though :D BTW, a bit off topic, but has anybody seen the malware musem? - https://archive.org/details/malwaremuseum (https://archive.org/details/malwaremuseum), thats pretty neat!

If are may ask among all antivirus mentioned above, which of the antivirus is more preferable for some to use in system,
Because some of the antivirus does not help matters in system ,after installation virus will after your system at period of weeks
Are been planning to know strong antivirus to install.
Op since you know antivirus that can't disappoint please let me know.

Some of the above mentioned antivirus,suppose be explained one after the order so people will understand the difference between each other.

I've always been a big fan of Common Sense.

There are many antivirus in market available but i talk about the latest antivirus in india, i liked Nortion security standard, and kesparsky is the best antivirus according to me.

My favorite program is Norton AntiVirus is a good and safe program for my computer and I update it frequently to ensure a better cleaning of my computer.

For me, I prefer to use Norton AntiVirus and I have been using it for a long time and now I rely on using the paid version, as it contains many useful features and I want to use it

I would like to go for ESET NOD32 antiVirus. I'm using it since year 2017 for my laptop and have found satisfactory result, that I'm loking for. Overall ESET NOD32 is a good antiVirus with affordable cost even they provide free trial "Every Now And Then"

I've tried using ESET.

And I'm satisfied using them.

But by chance, I just uninstalled it again. I want to retain myself having the discipline and practice of avoiding unwanted websites and downloading files.

My favorite program is Kaspersky antivirus.

I just use the default antivirus windows 10. "Windows Defender" because it's good enough for me.

I use AVG antivirus, because it is powerful enough to protect my laptop from virus attacks.

I use McAfee Antivirus, to clean viruses on my PC.

I use Norton security, used to use node 32 before but didn't get many of the viruses that I had in my pc.

I use Avira antivirus to protect my laptop.

Free trial never protect your laptop i hope so. Although if you has bought key then it's good. Avira very available and i know many people use it .

Which is your favorite antivirus?


My Covid PC antivirus. :D

Bitdefender antivirus is really cool. It offers a full-featured package.

It scores high rating compare to other antivirus.

You will get a lot of different answers but for me it is Malwarebytes.

It has kept my computer malware free for over 10 years with no noticeable hit to my computers performance.

This is important to me, plus I don't want something that becomes too intrusive and bugs me to pay more money all the time.

For what i remember when i still have pc i always use

Eset nod32
Norton
Kapersky.
License key is free from google.

Kaspersky Total Security is the best antivirus protection overall. You can use it.

windows defender the best for sure

For my pc Windows defender is enough for security for windows. because it will secure my laptop from all spam, and also its a free, no need to pay

I have used many antivirus software. And as per my point of view there are some antivirus software that are really effective for computer and laptops, such as
Avira antivirus pro
Norton antivirus plus
ESET NOD32 antivirus

i use Avast antivirus. I think they work fine. I don't really need one anyways since I'm not always downloading risky files on The Pirate Bay or anything like that.

Avast is rather good if you are not waiting for something special from this antivirus and antimalware software.

Kaspersky has been my number one anti virus.

Avast is great, I am using it too now. The free version has a lot of features. In my opinion is a good antivirus program for everyone you doesn't want to pay and just uses a free software.

My favorite antivirus is AVG, because it is very effective at killing germs that live on my laptop.  ;D

Its been long since i deliberately installed any antivirus software on my PC apart from the traditional windows defender. ;D

I use SMADAV antivirus, because it is enough for me & the most important thing is to always update.  ;)

Although There are so many antivirus available in market but honestly mate, i don't use any of those antivirus thay you mentioned above in your post except window defender. I usually update it and i think it's enough for my security. Cause i don't have enough money to buy those and renew

It's 2020, and the problem with virus on windows haven't be fixed, antivirus doesn't work at all because their work under a database of virus, but if the virus is totally new then the computers with windows are vulnerable. That's why i think the solution isn't in the antivirus, the solution is the operative system. That's why linux is the right way to roll if you don't want to deal with virus.

Windows Defender is enough if you're a responsible user.

You don't visit any website that seems to contain malicious links and you're not downloading any random files on the internet.

Windows Defender isn't for someone who can't control himself what he do on the web. I've been using WinDef for years.

In my opinion, all antiviruses are good and the most important thing is that we have to update.
I personally use Symantec antivirus.

Never heard of that before. Is that some kind of a USB antivirus or a full pledge system security software.

McAfee antivirus should be at the top of the list of good quality.
I use McAfee to protect my laptop, because it can get rid of malware viruses & other very annoying viruses.

I use VIPRE AdvancedSecurity, this antivirus is also good enough to protect our data.

I am using Kaspersky antivirus. It has been tested over the years, so I am not afraid that it will let me down.

Windows defender seems to be the only antivirus you need nowadays and in my experience the other antivirus programs do nothing but sap system resources. I prefer keeping the antivirus produced by the same company that builds the underlying operating system, as they actually have much more incentive to fix any problems or it will damage their reputation in other ways. McAfee was quite possibly the worst software I've ever seen and regularly made my PC run slow in the past, it was so much better after getting rid of it.

AVG
Bitdefender
Norton

I'm leaning towards Pfizer/BioNTech, but it's not listed.

KASPERSKY
NORTON SYMANTEC
BITDEFENSER

I rely on the antivirus integrated in windows 10 that is microsoft defender in combination with avira, even northon is not bad

The windows 10 one does the job fairly good for me , i dont have a paid one on my main computer

The best antivirus is your attentiveness. )

wtf ? lol . thats a literal anti virus but like most posters above , i dont feel the need of a third party antivirus . i just need the default antivirus that came with my system . i have no problems with it so far  .

My all time favorite antivirus is Norton antiVirus and  ESET NOD32 antiVirus.Because, i'm also use this two antivirus on my pc and laptop.
