Best Anti Virus For Windows 7

It should be Avira. Look here, the results explain why. Avira has almost no impact on the performance of your system, I am using it for years. http://www.av-comparatives.org/[^]
Thanks a lot for the info. But I have already ordered Kaspereskey :(

I've been using Kaspersky for a number of years after previously using ESET, Norton etc. I haven't had any problems but be aware that, compared to others I've used, it is a resource hog. Depending on what spec of machine you're using, this may or may not be an issue.

Maybe a wrong choice. It is good at detection, but people around me told me that it has perf impact on the system.
Hmm, Since I have already ordered, I will try kaspereskey, and if that is not good, I will try that :)

You should prove your thesis, but -of course- is it up to you do it or not. The best proof I can say is that I never had any problem. Since Vista, it's rather difficult to run/install something unexpected without explicitly do that (unless you remove the UAC as many users do, and THAT'S WRONG!). Feel free to do it, if you like...

That's like the drivers who say they've never had an accident but they've seen quite a few in the wing mirror! Or the parents that complain to teachers when their kids start swearing because "they don't #%!@* get it from me!" As with any biological virus you could very easily be a carrier without showing any symptoms. UAC does not provide you with any protection, merely with an administrative headache. That's why people disable it. Anti-virus does provide you with protection and, far more importantly, everybody else! You may have been lucky so far but there is absolutely nothing to suggest that you will continue to be so ad infinitum. Is a marginal performance increase really worth risking your entire system on?

I DO NOT say I'm immune: on that I'm with you at all!...I got flu as any other human... I DID GOT a "supposed" virus in the past, but I easily removed it by hacking the registry...worthwhile installing an Antivirus: not at all, in my opinion! When you buy a brand new PC you often find pre-installed a trial version of some famous AV suite. Anyone was asked to install it? Anyone was asked to reminds me every now and then to purchase a subscription for updates? Ever tried to uninstall? Very hard, or impossible for a non-expert user. At this point, should I endorse this kind of "usage violence"?... Sometimes I believe the primary providers of viruses are the Antivirus producers themselves... Nothing against you guys, but please respect my viewpoints. I won't walk this argument anymore, if that's hurting you so much...

Just a question, if you wish to answer... Do you get medicines every day to prevent a flu twice a year?

If not please suggest me where to post . Million thanks in advance. Kindest Regards Sibeesh Venu www.sibeeshpassion.com

I wouldn't use MSE as suggested by others. There are many reports that point it as lacking and insecure (example[^]). I personally use BitDefender free edition as it is light weight and doesn't get in my way, but as others point out, Kaspersky is also a good choice.

I've used Norton for many years, it does find stuff when I make a run and get's rid of them. But how does Norton compare to the others out there? Is there any documented data out on the net?

I believe that you can renew your free !avast license. It just takes some digging around in their UI. I just did the renewal myself.

Thank you. But Avast is not a good one. Not worth to buy. That is why I am looking for an another one.

there's still a free option when you renew... at least there has been for the last 8 years or so...

Effectiveness of the major anti-virus programs is pretty much even. Norton, is however, considered the most prone to diminish overall computer performance and make a mess of your carefully crafted settings. But, if, in your case, it's not broke then you can get away with not fixing it!

No. You 'install' a vaccine which creates antibodies that 'run' all day every day to protect you. Analogy fail!
You may "install" a vaccine against the flu for yourself: I don't make vaccination unless mandatory! Seriously: it's decades I don't make a vaccination... Have a nice day!

Try doing that if it's a virus that prevents you booting or ransomware that locks you out. And I guess we'll never know how many others you managed to infect in the time it took you to detect and treat this 'supposed' virus. It is ultimately not possible to respect that which is in no way worthy of respect and your cavalier approach is the very epitome of that!

Agreed.
