Which anti-virus to choose?

yes it has a good detection rate but the annoying thing is that it doesn't heal infected files with .exe extension strange but true. I am looking to move to some other anti-virus thanks for your response.

Yes i read it that Bit-defender has the highest detection rate when compared to other popular brands but it is not that popular in download.com is it secondly kaspersky is good too which has good detection rate but it really slowed down my new PC even with a configuration of 4 gb ram and 2.4 ghz of core 2 duo processor i will surely check bit-defender in the coming months thanks a lot for your timely response.

You are most welcome vikram...

yes i have used avast too real good detection rates and it doesn't even slow down the PC that much but the annoying sound it makes after it catches a threat is awful and the interface is bad too anyways thanks a lot for your response and what is the exact meaning of those last phrases of yours.

I totally agree with u vaibhav AVG has a good detection rate u should have noticed that it doesn't heal infected files but sends them to virus vault or just deletes them but when u look at Mcafee and Norton they heal files which are infected isn't it so i am considering moving other brand of anti-virus thanks a lot for response

Yes AVG free as well as paid are pretty good but they just cannot heal infected files can they they just send them virus vault or they directly delete them i find that tough to digest though i like it i am considering moving to either to NOD 32 or Bit-defender as kaspersky is too heavy on resources thanks a lot for your response and keep mylotting.

yeah i too used avast before switching on to AVG coz of the annoying sound it makes after it catches a threat and the ugly interface overall its detection for the free version was good are u using a free or the professional one with other features please reply as i am thinking to switching to avast thanks a lot for your response.

well i am using AVG free for 2 years without having any problem but i really hate it when it deletes all infected files without healing them as far as avira is concerned it really slows my PC and avast with its annoying interface and sound alerts i am considering either nod32 and kaspersky thanks a lot for your response.

i think that's the only back draw of using free anti-virus or AVG anti-virus that sit doesn't heal infected system files i think avast does heal infected files alright but its annoying interface is the problem and the sound it makes after it catches a threat is the thing that keeps me away from avast as far as avira goes it is pretty slow in scanning and consumes a lot of resources as u have mentioned thanks a lot for your response i will give it a thought if trying either avast or nod 32.

I read about it comodo has good features and it has one of the best firewalls in the world but the rest of it is not too good and o used zonealarm once and i was impressed by it but it was a resource hog an the avg 8 is good but too many false positives and avast is good too thanks a lot for your response and sorry for the late response.

I do agree that the antivirus part of CIS is not the best. NEvertheless the latest version is a lot better than the previous version. So far it has managed to detect vituses which it was unable to sniff out before this. In its paranoid mode suspected viruses are flagged, and the user is given the option to have it deleted, ignored, or quarantined.

i too thought that AVG and Avira were good but too many false positives and the latest version of AVG made my system crash so i am worried about using free anti-virus and i have sued some virus tools of Mcafee and Avira and i am actually impressed by their scanning speeds thanks a lot for your valuable input and sorry for a late response.
