(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); hey guys i was wondering what is the best virus sofware for windows? right now i have mcafee and i hear that its actually complete shit, my desktop has norton and i was wondering if i should switch to that for my laptop or go with a different brand?

In my opinion, it is microsoft security essentials....It is free...It doesn't prompt me to give them money...Unlike mcafee, avg and others..

While free it does not offer a complete system scan of viruses. A good setup would be to use Windows defender, malwarebytes, adware, spybot, and clamwin.
Also using any other browser instead of IE will help keep vulnerabilities down to a minimum.

I'm using Avast Internet security 7, doesn't slow down my PC while booting, and he can talk p) Ofcourse I didn't pay for it x)

Windows Defender was included in Windows Vista, so unless your running XP or below you wouldn't need to download it.

Kaspersky with Malwarebytes.

Or Avast with Malwarebytes.

This is what I run on all my computers...

AVG, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, CCleaner, and I have the Microsoft Security Essentials installed through Windows Updates as a secondary to AVG.

MacAfee and Norton in my opinion don't catch much of anything that is out there and they are slow, as well as slow down the computer a lot.

Microsoft Security Essentials is the one I'm currently using, been through AVG and McAfee and I still think Microsoft Security Essentials is the best.

i totally agree here im totally happy with Kaspersky 5 yrs touch wood no virus or malware problems doesnt slow down my laptop very happy with it, ps: ive got the Pure version. unlike the crapness of Mcafee and Norton which are useless and dramatically slows down my system, in both cases i had to format my system because software couldnt do there jobs, to cut it short i would recommend Kaspersky
