Ok now many of you ask which anti-virus is more better and helpful well i had tried many and many arent that great and take too much space in your hard drive, i personally use avast, or avg because of less space and more protection, northon takes too much space and can disable alot of stuff, there's others that are good, but i do recommend to those who are wondering which one to use always look for the following.
1)space

2)resources

3)protection

4)quality of the product
 
Mmm.... Well if look at those standard you could cross our Norton from your list in like 1 second lolz... because Norton is shi-
AVG, Avast, MBAM are some good av, but some of the virus knows to prevent you from using them because they are well known (Even on safe mode).
I use a good less well known av that I would give 4/5 for each category you listed
 
Try ZoneAlarm
Though its not well known its quite good
btw if you have windows 7 get ThreatFire its good too the only flaw is that you have to turn Threatfire off when using steam
 
I Think Norton 360 Is Good ..!
 
Norton is good and it automatically detects viruses after you have downloaded a file. i know this caused i tried to download a hacking tool and it got instantly deleted by nod32
 
Download Norton 360 Here..!

 
Norton is way to bloated. It's such a resource hog that if you uninstalled it and got something more lightweight, such as avast, you would notice a large speed increase.
 
I too prefer avast anti virus n i have it in my uncle's home..and i found it very good...
 
I use AVG, but when the trial runs out I'll get kaspersky or avast.

Computer is virus free at the moment though. (I think :O)

I agree but you do know most anti-viruses will delete hacking tools but also remember there'stools that you may want or you're a hacker and if you download the tools and you know the software is not a threat your anti-virus will still detect it as one.
 
nice tips and criteria sheet but maybe just a suggestion really not trying to flame but proofread it before posting next time...a few grammatical errors
 

yeah.....its true...i was having lots of tools related to hacking but it got deleted because of anti virus..!!
 
Me too Mrulez. I have sent hacking tools to people over Msn before, FUD ones, and their anti virus still finds it and deletes it upon download.
 
Yeah i know my bad for the grammatic errors, i typed too quick that time, still getting used to this thing here, and good luck to all of you with your anti-viruses.
 
I'm currently downloading the latest anti-spyware pro. That has gotten me through some rough times and some really stubborn trojans.
 
yeah that's good keep up with the new anti-viruses to give the newbies more options, which anti-virus for them to use.
