i had downloaded an antivirus a month ago.. it was good at first. it was recommended to me.. it was really performing well.. but when my laptop was overloaded with USB, a lot of them, a virus had gone wild. it was not detected. when i scanned my laptop, it was already infected, but the anivirus that was installed would say that nothing is wrong, but when my own USB is being scanned at other computer, it was infected with more than two virus.. now, i uninstalled the said antivrus (AVAST).. and i am looking for the best one.. now, i downloaded a AVIRA antivirus... is it the best antivurs for computer?.. i still dont know.. i will find out.. please do help me...

Hello Jing. I have AVG, and it WAS my only antivirus for a period of time, say 4 months. I just thought it is all I needed. Then a friend recommended AVIRA. I downloaded a free version of it, and am I surprised that there were more than 400 viruses in my computer that AVG has not warned me about. 400 man! That's a lot! Well, I'm not saying that AVG is not good, it maybe just not enough.I'm planning to add kaspersky and norton on my list. Just try, and you'll be surprised.

i already downloaded Avira, those with umbrella. and it had detected more than 200 of viruses in my laptop.. and i think it is good.. and also with the other brands.. i guess, they are just the same.. has their own flaws also.. hehe..

before i use to trust avg8- free (& also avg8 trial- 90days) but when i lend my flashdisk to a friend using avast!, it has virus which avg did not see, so i transfered to avast!..
later on.. avast catch some viruses which it cannot erase or clean.. so i purchased mcafee total protection 12in1.. now i feel better secure.. (you can download a 1- month trial of mcafee at www.us.mcafee.com)
another good anti-virus is eset nod32 smart security.. (you can download a 1-month trial at www.eset.com)
this is the one i really wanted to buy but it's a little costly.. mcafee is cheaper as you can use it in 2 pc. ( i don't trust those free anti-virus or the pirated (keygen) anti virus softwares)..
