Which Antivirus do you recommend ?

[dimutri]

Nod32 the most effective for me

[Vincero]

ESET NOD32 Antivirus - the best .

I use Avira on Vista 64. Avira should be in the poll, as somebody said. And looking through the posts here I'm not alone.

Wrong approach. All AntiVirus Software producers exaggerate their marketing. No AV Software can guarantee complete protection.

The use of any AV software
- doesn't give you protection from unknown malware
- consumes CPU and HD performance
- gives you the false impression of being safe from malware

The time between the creation of a new malware and the update of the AV database is too long: Any malware has to be found, analysed and implemented into the database.

If you want your computer to be malware-free, you have to define a newly installed OS of your choice as malware-free (trust!), must not install new software and must not connect it to any network. Everything else is a compromise. Even specially malformed data embedded in videos, Word documents or pictures can be used to compromise your computer system.

My advice:
- use an OS that's not commonly used and has a decent security architecture (Linux based, BSD)
- update your OS regularly and only with patches from the author
- don't install new SW unless it is absolutely neccessary
- don't connect to any network unless it is absolutely neccessary
- if you connect to a network and have to open ports, use a firewall (a decent one)
- don't work as privileged user

If you do all this, and have to install new Software from the internet:
- find a SW that does what you want
- decide if you trust the author
- authenticate the author
- download the SW from the author's website
- checksum the SW

If you want to double-check if the author could ship his/her SW with a known malware, you can check it with an online scanner like http://www.virustotal.com/

Protection wise, Nod32 and Kaspersky have been tested against others and came out on top.
