All Free Anti Virus

- counter even the best virus, with a top Anti Best Virus. (if you did a search, you perhaps meant ‘anti worst virus’ - but same thing - they’re all bad)

How do you choose the best antivirus?

THE NEED

An antivirus is either -
* free
* paid-for

No money? So go “free”. It’s unlikely you’ll get a top anti best virus though.

Otherwise invest $40 or so and get yourself a security suite, ie. an “all-in-one”, combining firewall, antivirus and antispyware. That’s a top level Anti Best Virus.

DECISION MAP

A: should i get an antivirus?

. . NO: do nothing. Crash.
. . . . . . go back to A.
. . YES. continue.

Should i get a free package?
. . YES: install, and go to B.
. . NO: go for a reputable anti best virus. Suggestion, get PcTools** on a free trial

B: is everything working ok?
. . YES: Happiness! You have your top grade Anti Best Virus.
. . NO: get another antivirus (free if necessary)
. . . . . . and install.
. . . . . . go back to B.

** I mention PcTools because that’s the first paid security i tried, and i’ve been very satisfied for two years now. (pctools.com) (see ad).

THE FREE SOLUTION

I tried the free solution.

Disadvantages -
* i wasn’t fully confident;
* don’t expect much support.

IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS?

Some complain that security evaluations are too shallow.

So do you buy all the well known packages, install and run them? Do you build yourself a security lab? You’re talking thousands of dollars here.

Why not just pay your $40, and if you’re not happy, try another.

The main security offerings are all very similar. Besides, by the time you have finished your tests your report will be out of date.

THE PAID SOLUTION FOR THE TOP ANTI BEST VIRUS

* no worries - everything’s automatic;

* you have CONFIDENCE;

* cheap considering what you get.

CONCLUSION - KEEP LOOKING

Don’t worry about all the different conflicting reviews out there, many are probably the results of software conflicts.

If you have problems, just try the next antivirus. One security program may slow down your machine to a crawl, yet may run like a charm on your friend’s.

Keep looking until you can “install and forget”, and you’ve found your best “anti best virus”.
