Anti-Virus' Compared

One of the major problems people have with their computers are viruses. You can't download anything neat, or go to any webpage, without the fear of your computer being infected. So here are my top anti-virus' to keep your computer safe and to restore your peace-of-mind.

1. AVG Anti-Virus

Without a doubt, AVG is the EASIEST and most effective anti-virus out there. There is a free & a paid version, and the free version works just fine. The free version comes with built in:

• Anti-Virus
• LinkScanner
• Email Protection
• Firewall
• Anti-Rootkit
• System Tools
• & Identity Protection 

The best part about the anti-virus is the LinkScanner. It acts as a browser plugin, and shows you the safety of each webpage in your search results. It will even ask you if you want to load the webpage when you're trying to visit a risky page. That way, you'll be warned about the risk before even loading the page! Plus, it's extremely cheap at $20 a copy at amazon!



2. MalwareBytes Anti-Malware

MalwareBytes is actually my preferred virus scanner. The catch is, that's all it does. It doesn't detect real-time virus infections, you have to scan before you can find out anything. I do find that MalwareBytes has a more indepth virus scan than AVG though. It also has a free & a paid version. Malwarebytes Pro is only $20 from Amazon:





-∞. Norton Anti-Virus

I really can't tell you much about this thing, because I consider it a virus itself. Between the fact that it pops up every time you start up your computer, and the flashy adverts, this is the most expensive and overrated piece of garbage to ever grace Windows computers. Am I the only one who can't stand Norton? And yes, I listed this one at negative infinity.
