A fresh "Best Antivirus" poll for 2007. Please use this as a reference when researching antivirus utilities. As time goes on, the poll can be updated to add further options.

Due to limitations of IPB - this will be seen as 2 polls. Select the Antivirus program you wish to vote for, and choose N/A in the other poll.

Happy voting!

Poll choices are links to the software pages.

Id love to here alsherons response to this. I?ve read his last to posts and seen a lot of unnecessary name calling and rhetoric without a lot of proof to back up his claims. I sorry but a single pc pro review that doesn?t publish its methodology doesn?t really compare to VB100 which is generally regarded as one of the best anti-virus comparisons.

Id love to here alsherons response to this. I’ve read his last to posts and seen a lot of unnecessary name calling and rhetoric without a lot of proof to back up his claims. I sorry but a single pc pro review that doesn’t publish its methodology doesn’t really compare to VB100 which is generally regarded as one of the best anti-virus comparisons.

Please tell me you are joking. If you aren't then you really need to check the facts.

VB100 is one test that you shouldnt trust.

It doesnt matter at all.

Eg. Quickheal which has done miserably in all tests in the past has VB100 certification ( http://www.quickheal.co.in/ ). I remember it managed to detect something like 55% of the malware in Av-test.org comparison last yr. Heck is some tests it managed to detect only about 30% of the malware.

VB's sample is very limited and they test with only a handfull of popular malwares. Due to the small sample size the test is highly unreliable. It becomes more of a matter of luck. As you can see kaspersky lost because it missed only 1 virus!!

No av has 100% detection rate.. but comparisons conducted with a much larger sample size reveal that kaspersky and avira are the best in terms of overall detection rates (in the wild as well as zoo types).

NOD32? Is it just me or do users of NOD32 seem to be about 12 years old and have a zealous obsession with it for some reason? How about reading, considering and evaluating some ACTUAL research/testing of Anti virus programs? Or does NOD32 "just rule" so much that despite it's lacklustre performance at actually catching/preventing viruses, it's the No. 1 pre-pubescent Antivirus solution. :wacko:

It's the AV we deploy in the enterprises we support, but just go on thinking it's for 12-year-olds. :rolleyes:

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,

      Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
