Either that, or almost every other review I've ever read is lying when they rank Avira and Avast so high. What that matousec test looks like to me (to my non-expert eyes keep in mind) is that it's mainly (if not only) a test for firewalls.not necessarily for AntiVirus. I've also never read anywhere else where Comodo scored 100%.it's usually not even tested in the same tests as Kaspersky, Norton, Avira, BitDefender, etc. only scored 3% in virus/spyware/malware testing.
just AntiVirus (Avast, Avira, AVG) programs? I've never read anywhere else where Avast, Avira, AVG, etc. Are they testing a Firewall + AntiVirus Suite (Comodo Internet Security for example) vs. I'm a little confused by the results of the matousec tests. So, I'm interested in hearing your opinions for the folks, and for myself.
For instance, you can start with Avast Free Antivirus, add PCTools's Threatfire Free (which does a good job at bolstering malware detection), toss in one of the many firewalls available and a link-scanning utility to create your own custom security setup." I've read the following-"You can augment a free tool's basic security with countless security utilities. I'm currently using Avira for a AV and Comodo for a FW on a Windows 7 PC. I'm also interested in getting the best free security setup for my own PCs. I think it's either Vista or XP though.ĭo Norton and BitDefender have a firewall included besides just the AntiVirus? If not, which Firewall? I'm not sure what windows they have, if you need that info, I can find out. I think they would be more comfortable with a paid solution than a free one.
I'm just wondering what you guys are thinking would be the best product/products for them to get next. I'd say their main concerns are protection from identity theft, ease of use (they aren't very technically savvy.would prefer a set it and forget it solution), and getting a virus that will either slow or shut down their PC. My girl's parentals are about to have their Kaspersky subscription run out in 10ish days. I've been reading some reviews and it appears like Norton AntiVirus 2011 and BitDefender AntiVirus are among the most consistently top rated AV programs for 2011.
