What Is The Best Antivirus / Computer Protection Software For The Money?
January 16th, 2010 | by Frenday |I am sick of NORTON cause it is a memory hog.
McAfee seemed OK.
Microsoft’s One-Care is way too expensive.
Any Suggestions?

Is free cheap enough?
I like AOL Active Virus Shield. Don’t let the name AOL fool you. Active Virus Shield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.
In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, Active Virus Shield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.
Full test chart is here:http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/defa…
Active Virus Shield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources. (6mb ram)
Active Virus Shield detects and removes spyware, also.
And it updates up to 15 times a DAY with new virus definitions, 7 days a week!
Good stuff, free for everyone from:http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivir…

AVG is by far the best free anti virus. But if you are looking to spend money by far the best pay to use one is Kaspersky. Nothing gets through it thats like the fort knox of anti virus.
And i applaud your waking up and realizing norton is a big piece of junk way to go

Go to http://www.download.com and look at what they have there. You should be able to get something (for example, Spy Sweeper with Anti-Virus) for a reasonable price.

Use AVG it is free and works great:

They also have a good rootkit software that is also free.
I have used AVG for close to two years and had no viruses on any of my computers.
Read reviews online to convince yourself:
