[QUOTE="Eddie5vs1"][QUOTE="xXDrPainXx"]Microsoft Security Essentials, highest rating for free anti-virus on the market right now.xscrapzx
Same here. I does an excellent job and uses up very little system resources. I'll have to check that out, I didn't even know MS had a free one. Yeah, check it out, it's really good. I don't even know it's running until I get a warning that a page may be infected.
avast doesen't bother me and seems to do it's job splendidly. I still recommend anyone to supplement with superanti spyware tho, since that programme found quite a bit of stuff despite doing both comprehensive AVG and Avast full-scans prior to the superanti spyware scan.
Kaspersky. Absolutely the best anti-virus software I have ever used. Of course, it's pricey but the protection and detection it has provided makes up for it. I have seriously nothad one virus, trojan, or malware program ever infect my computer.And I've been using this for 2 years now; That's amazing.
I live my life on the edge so I don't have one 8) Real reason is I've simply forgotten and last time I used AVG it annoyed the hell out of me, I've yet to go in search of another free one.

That's actually a common misconception with antivirus programs. (Most, including Kaspersky), don't prevent viruses, they only detect them when one infects your computer. Therefore, an not having a virus in years can mean one of two things:
1) You know how to properly use the internet without clicking on any bad links
2) Your anti-virus program isn't detecting existing viruses on your computer.
Still, Kaspersky offers really good protection, so it's probably the 1st case, but it's way too heavy for my tastes.

Kaspersky's safe run (sandbox) prevents viruses from infecting your computer.

Kaspersky's safe run (sandbox) prevents viruses from infecting your computer. Yeah but that's the internet security version. The closest thing that the stand alone antivirus has to prevention is the link scanner.
Anti Virus software is like plugging your ears up when people say mean things to you. Yes, im implying it doesnt really work. I use linux. I dont necessarily mean that in an elitist way, its just safer.
