Best antivirus?

Most of the security is coming from brain.exe using a suitable security concept.

I think of like this (note: all values are guessed for showcase, everyone who wants to adopt it should tune it to his/her own need):

Impact in case of compromise -	Paradigm -	Security measurements -	Estimated risk to get compromised anyways (per 3 month span) -	\|Example usage
Very high.	Dedicated hardware. Only required software running (KISS principe). Open source when possible.	No direct internet connection. Full system encryption. Checking all available signatures. Advanced backup strategy.	0.05%	Large offline wallets
High.	Dedicated system for a specific task. Only well-known software running. Open source prefered.	Limited and whitelist internet connection. Full system encryption. Checking hashes if provided on the site. Flash, JavaApplets, and WebFonts disabled, JavaScript limited. Basic backup strategy.	0.5%	Gambling site backend administration.
Medium.	System for doing common tasks. Only known software running, no experiments. No really sensitive data on system.	Partial limited and monitored internet connection. Partial or full encryption. Flash, JavaApplets only upon request (ClickToPlay). WebFonts disabled, JavaScript and Ads constrained. Decent slim antivirus. Basic backup strategy.	5% (7.5% without antivirus)	Online banking with 2FA.
Low.	No sensitive data at all.	Antivirus for reducing system reinstalls per year. Desktopfirewall for reducing risk of being a vic-socks.	50% (99% without antivirus)	Warez, moviez & gaming only PC.

I have a strategy similar to this with partial usage of virtualization. When using Windows, I use Microsoft Security Essentials which is sufficient because malware bypassing this couldn't do too much harm.

I like Malwarebytes the most.

Definitely Kaspersky

kaspersky internet security

AG or karspesky, I tried both and feel safe

None is safe, most antiviruses are just spyhubs, collecting information about all user's PC. Not good to use them.

In my opinion ESET NOD32 is the best, I've used it for years and never had any problems regarding security.

Its not security that matters but privacy, and in some cases it's the same.

Instead of giving your credit card info and bank password so some thief in a 3rld world country ,now you give it to spies from your gov.

avg and avast is good
imo

I was just thinking the same the other day but if you're on a windows machine then you have no choice but to rely on one of these antiviruses otherwise it'll get infected pretty quickly and there aren't much choices with open source antiviruses. I know one that is ClamAV but I don't think it will work as good as the other ones does.

And it's hard to only run a linux system as some of the apps don't work on it too great.

In my opinion, It's Avast free antivirus.

What information are the AV's collecting exactly?
is there any research or something I can read about this?

Avast Free + Sandboxie + Common sense
