Which is the best anti-virus program to use – if you want to buy it?

• Cyberdefender – Great scanner that removes Trojans, spyware, but need upgrade to remove viruses, comes with 24/7 computer help. NASDAQ Company.

• Norton 360 – Expensive, my experience with Norton was not so good, and it was slow. NASDAQ Company

• Prevx – Good free scanner, cartoon look, only scans – need to buy to remove anything.

• PC Tools – nice interface, private company so who knows how stable they are, but software is fully functional for free.

• SuperAntiVirus – Corny name, but has 12 million users, but I found it a little slow.

• AVG – popular for the free version but it only works 30 Days before you must buy, but we found it slow, and the paid version offers nothing additional.

All of these offer a $29 paid version (except AVG - $34 is cheapest paid version). We are leaning to Cyberdefender, but we would like some feedback on this.

Which is the best free version?

Which offers the best protection/speed balance?

I recommend Kaspersky

[randommayham]

Kaspersky is a very expensive program, the most expensive, as a matter of fact.

If you are wanting to buy anti-virus software, I recommend Cyberdefender. The IT person at our company ran a series of tests on several of the programs you listed and based on his findings, he recommended Cyberdefender to our boss for all the compauters at work. So, I now have it on my work computer and on my home too.

They're really cool in that they offer 24/7 computer help with the paid version, and that is something that no one else even offers. I had some problems with my scanner when I first got it and they even helped me with that.

So I am comforted in knowing that my computer is safe, and I have someone I can call on if I need help.

Best of luck to you and happy safe computeing.

[MasterSteve]

I've used BitDefender for a while, but now am using AVG Internet Security. It's great and not too expensive, should you decided to upgrade afte the free trial.
