What Is The Best Anti-Virus Software?

The answer to this question changes every year, and every “expert” has different ideas about what makes good anti-virus software. That being said, I just recommend software that stops and removes viruses. It also needs to be small in using system resources and not cause other problems in how you use your computer system. So my favorite picks are as follows:


1. PC-Cillin made by Trend Micro:


I recommend Trend Micro products and for the home user they make a product call PC-Cillin and it is very effective and works vary well. I believe it is the most effective at both minimizing use of system resources and effectively protecting against all viruses. It is also competitively priced.


2. AVG made by Grisoft:


It works as well as PC-Cillin but uses more system resources, not have as much as system hogs like Norton however. It has the added benefit of being free. It is offered to home users free and the updates are free and there is no charge for there services ever. Many of our customers have used it for years and have never got a virus.
