  I wouldn’t agree with their top ten. A (much) better website for analysis is AV-Comparatives:
  http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2008_05.php

  A plus side is that most of these antiviruses are free to use.

  Hope that helps.

  Let me tell u dat this site is partly true about it’s review,
  but that’s the case of 6 months ago.

  I mean 2 say I had surfed this site 6 months ago and now that information has been outdated !!!!!!!

  Ok, but the truth is KasperSky & Norton are both now in a healthy battle to wash each other cuz they both are best & AVG has also joined them.

  If u ask for my review then I wud definitely vote for Norton Internet Security 2009. [Plz Don’t mind for this xtra point]

  I’m not going to click on that because I don’t trust it. I have a link of my own that I do trust: AV-Test.org I have their test results and this independent agency has the best information I’ve found. The link you gave does not test the best or even the better, free AV products. They seem to think if you don’t pay a lot for it, your computer isn’t protected. They’re full of bull. I’ve used Avast 4 Home for 5 years and received several virus warnings over the years, giving me time to get out of the site or stop what I was doing before a virus could get to my machine. AND I run antispyware weekly. The website you listed says that the AV products will find and remove spyware. That’s plainly untrue.

  depends what you believe, they can be rigged by what viruses they detect, there is another one below scroll thru the graphs, they kinda don’t match with your link, my link puts Nod-32 1st, Norton’s 2nd best and AVG last so go figure, your link puts Norton’s in 9th and AVG in top 5?? I have said it depends on personal choice , everyone goes to different sites, so are likely to pick up different virus / worm / malware / spyware. Did Independant company do test on all AV programs, How did they run the test?, by rights should have checked every single “virus” known to date by every program, but as i said before it is easy to rig. I not a fan of freebies but have used Norton’s since 2002 and it only let me down once. Plus I think they have lifted their game a bit, and the program has lost a bit of weight. It suits my purposes, so I am happy.

  I dont agree with the top ten antivirus software from the site given. You can checkout the best antivirus and spyware product from a very popular computer magazine called PCWORLD( http://www.pcworld.com). Their site said that kaspersky is the best antivirus followed by Norton and Mcafee in the second and third position. Checkout the complete review from http://www.pcworld.com/topics/security.html

  Those commercial base review cannot be trusted.
  If you someone pay you a large sum of money, you will write good things about their products.

  I only trusted those reviews which are not bias and have conduct proper testing of the products against unknown malwares.
