I'm not sure i been using Avast and SUPERAntiSpyware for years.

I've been using malewarebytes for over a year and it's pretty good (especially premium). I wouldn't say it's the best AV out there but it's good at detecting anything already on your pc. For preventing downloads of viruses just use your brain and don't download stuff that's likely to have viruses in it.

I don't know what rats are, but brooooooooo, you have to check Kaspersky out. It's the best Anti-Virus ever. (Although I had the paid for disc.) I still think it's great though....

Agree, Kaspersky is neat. You can also check out Panda Dome.

There is nothing like "best antivirus ever", not even talking about how most of AV are..


Best way to detect or avoid rats are by yourself. Just think about what you are downloading and sometimes check your network traffic via packet sniffer.

Exactly, there is no such thing like best anti-virus. Most anti-virus software works that way to deal with already infected OS. There is no live protection when somebody will send you FUD virus.

Kaspersky is pretty good though, of course... when FUD....

Nothing really can be done when its FUD, its meant to be undetected by any know Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware.

I prefer ESET (Smart Security Premium), but if you really think you are infected the only real way to find out is to leave the machine off for a month or so and then make a Rescue disk with updated signatures, or do a reformat. But depending on what you have on your system isn't always a viable option.

Indeed, I was just pointing that Kaspersky is a good choice overall.

The top line of my post was referring to your post regarding FUD, the second line of text I tried to separate it to just give my overall opinion to OP.

I use Norton Utilities

If paid I'll go with Kapersky though its quite resource intensive the last time I used it (2 years ago), but it was awesome. There isn't really a perfect AV, but if someone isn't feeling safe and don't know how to go through the web... I guess besides having Windows defender, having a second layer of protection is always a good option, not optimal as stuff can always happen... but good

Hitman pro / Kaspersky ... but best anti virus is your common sense ... anything from "leaking" forums should be ran within virtual machine.
