Best AntiVirus Software for 2015 - Comments Page 2

I use AVAST Free, and it seems to work ok.
But I don't see it in the top for Orotection & Performance. Was it not evaluated?

Bob, thanks for correcting me and making me understand, what malware truly means and entails.

I had somehow, gotten the idea, that malware was an all inclusive term, for spyware and the like. It may have occurred, because, I always saw "spyware/malware" written in that manner, in earlier days.

Note: I also, have the paid version of Malwarebytes. Love the program, which was explained by you, in various articles. It is also, excellent at getting PUPs. :O)

Why hasn't PC Matic been mentioned?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Because they choose not to participate in the testing done by AV-TEST.

Bob,
Do you know what the difference is between Bitdefender Internet Security, and Bitdefender Quickscan as an "Add-on" in Firefox (& maybe others)?
The add-on is certainly faster than any of the other free antivirus that I have tried. I am also using MBAM Premium, with Spybot S&D, and "Norton Security Scan" weekly.
Have used Avast, Avira and ZoneAlarm in the past, but found they choked my system while running. I have not (touch wood) been compromised since I started computing with a Commodore 64.
Thanks for the great review.

AVIRA
did buy the software already for a week but still waiting for the license very very bad service you should not recommended at all they are useless
thanks

Problem with Comcast/Norton freebie is that it is resource hog. Avast free is my current product.

I have used Trend Micro for many years, have not had a problem. The max premium edition covers my 6 machines and at $230 for 2 years is about $20 per machine pa, gives me 24/7 telephone help and a great password manager.
I seldom see Trend Micro in the reviews and am curious why.
