I have tried trials of many antivirus software with full functionality for a limited time. But paying for these security softwares I think is really a waste of money. I tried AVG antivirus enterprise edition still my computer got infected with viruses. So I think free security software will be a wise option because no security software will provide you 100% protection from the latest online threats. The options available to us for good free antivirus software are as follows:
- AVG Antivirus Free Edition (Recommended)
- Avast Free Antivirus (Recommended)
- Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Antivirus
- Microsoft Security Essentials
I tried trials of following security software:
- Norton Internet Security (Recommended)
- AVG Internet Security
- Quick Heal Total Security
- Mcafee Antivirus Plus
- Kaspersky Antivirus
If you are going to get a paid antivirus security solution for your pc, I recommend you buy "Norton Internet Security" because it has been on the top ranking of all the security software for many years. I have tested this software myself as a home user and I found no problem working with this software. Its latest version of the software doesn’t slow down your computer. The special feature I like about this software is its optimization tool. My PC was working fine but when I used its optimization feature, the performance of my PC was greatly improved.
But if you want to get a free antivirus solution for your PC, I recommend you take either Avast Free Antivirus or AVG Antivirus Free Edition. I recommend you Avast because I am currently using this software and it works just fine like a paid version of the software. It is a newcomer in the security solution software marketplace and has been able to win the faith of millions of home user like me. In many security organizations' independent test it has secured the best ratings. In competitions it's free edition of antivirus software has beaten up many paid antivirus software solutions. I started using this software when I saw too many positive reviews of it on many websites and after installing it I never felt they were wrong.
I also recommend AVG Antivirus Free Edition because I had been using this software before I use Avast Free Antivirus. The best feature what I like about this antivirus software is that its threat detection rate is highest and it's scanning process is the fastest. After all it is the second best antivirus security solution available today after Norton.
