Thanks for the information. I got the answers that I was looking for about AVG and Avira. But I must say that the other product descriptions were a little hard to understand. Maybe some editing is in order?
Josh
Totally agree with this list. AVG is the best one out there. I’ve been using it for some time now. The latest release is faster and has some cool features.
Daryl
This looks like a pretty decent list of anti-virus software. Descriptions are short but has good info. Would be nice if there were more options to choose from? Any chance of making this a top 15 list?
Glen
I don't surf the Internet much since I basically use my computer to just write and check my emails. What antivirus software is good for me? Should I even get one? I just want something simple and easy.

My computer recently had a bad case of the virus, and while I was able to get rid of some of them, my friend said I need to update my antivirus. I use AVG right now but I’m not sure I like it. I want to try Avast but a friend said it’s not really good. So which is which?
Mark
Is the Panda Cloud you're talking about here the newest antivirus from that brand? I used the Global Protection one several weeks ago and it didn't work well with the other software installed on my laptop. I had to restart my computer several times before I got it to work. Is this one any better?
Will
I must say that your short comment about the McAfee Stinger made me curious so I decided to download it. I'm happy with it so far because it's fast and easy to use. I didn't realize my laptop had a lot of viruses already, but I'm hoping that the stinger was able to eliminate most of it.
Christine
I'm not a very "techy" person, but I have used those top three anti-virus software at some time or another over the past four years or so. The Avast anti-virus looks like the best one for me so far. I rarely got any problems when I used it. I'm a little confused with the sandbox feature, and just leave the settings that my company's IT made as is.
Michel
Which is the best antivirus software, the AVG right? I install it yesterday and find me a lot of virus problems, all of them were successfully cleaned by the anti virus and I consider it to be the best free antivirus, much better than the other ones, so for me and probable for many people this is the best anti virus solution for PC and phone devices, thank you for your free antivirus reviews provided and please also make the best free antivirus reviews for phones / iphones and android phones.
AVG free review
I will make a small AVG free review for all people that have no idea about this antivirus, The AVG antivirus free will offer a very good computer virus protection with a very good virus definition database that is hourly updated and can detect all viruses malware trojan application and any kind of melicios viruses and threads. Here, on the website you also can download avg for free from the review page, and also I recommend to use AVG on all your devices including phones and tablets, this is one of my small antivirus reviews about AVG.
Larisa
I'm wondering which antivirus is the best for me, I need a small antivirus with small size for windows Xp that is not connected to internet more than two hours per week. I want to pick for me the best antivirus software with small MB (mega bits) less than 35 MB because my computer free space is running out and I have less and less free memory on my hardisk, and also the antivirus should not take much Ram Memory, I read almost all antivirus reviews you provide and please help me select the best solution for me, I really need that the best is providing an effective protection and my computer will never get infected anymore.
I'm an antivirus guy
Vicky, please note that antivirus programs for windows or Mac are different from phone antiviruses, let me know the name of your phone, if you have an android phone you need an android antivirus designed especially for android operation system, many companies already develop software versions for phones, but if you have an android smartphone you can easily search for an antivirus on your Play store / Market store icon which usually should be available on you phone desktop.
Cristian
Because I initially had an issue with AVG downloading updates I follow your instructions to remove all unknown applications from msconfig and now my antivirus update function is working fine again, thanks to Lory comment.

How can I download free antivirus in my phone
Lory
I want also to share some info about all people that have any problems installing the most rated antivirus applications from this website or any other website, every time when people get this kind of problem they actually already have some viruses on the computers which are blocking the installation process of the anti-virus programs, in this case, they need to manually open the msconfig application and un-check all the unknown and suspicious programs which probable are malware apps or any kind of virus programs like trojans developed by hackers to steal your identity or your credit card information.
Ryan
