Definitively the worst poll of 2013 so far. One that does not permit voting!


See the above - you can vote "Not on this list" for the 2nd part

nod32 is still the best IMO as far as paid anti-virus goes :)

Personally, I only use free AV programs. But if I had to recommend one, I'd go with whatever the latest AV test recommends. Seems like best practice.

It seems I might be the only vote for symantic
Bought at a reasonable sale a month ago.

You mean you can buy anti-virus protection?
I've never bought any and never done without anti-virus protection.
But I would prefer kaspersky if I bought any.

Trend Micro user here, been using them for years now and very happy with their software. "The best AV" is subjective, for me personally, Trend Micro meets my needs and works flawlessly (Y)

I just switched from Kaspersky to G-Data. It's always rated highly on the comparatives list, and it just plain works. It is also so much faster than Kaspersky when scanning. I've used ESET in the past as well, and frankly it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had with software.

So I voted G-Data. If you haven't tried it, you honestly should.

I voted Kaspersky although I can't see the point of paying for an AV when there are quite a few free AV's that are just as good, and probably lighter on resources due to NOT having all the unnecessary bells and whistles, than their pay for counter parts.

The best, like always, is ESET. Love ESET with Malwarebytes. :)

Another vote for ESET for me. Does absolutely everything that I need it to do, good protection in the network etc, easy to disable temporarily to allow certain stuff that could be potentially dangerous but I know isn't really. :shifty:

Your antivirus software probably won't prevent a cyberattack :angry:
