Best antivirus out there?.

[Pornofreak]

I know it has been asked before maybe there may be some new good ones out there. I use the free version of Malwarebytes and keeps asking me to upgrade for a cost. Before I pay up asking here for other suggestions.

I do not have Microsoft security essential because it comes build in with new computers which mine is not but again, asks me to pay.


Thanks in advance.

What's the Best Malware Protection?

Which antivirus should you choose? You have a wealth of options. Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Bitdefender Antivirus Plus regularly rate at the top in independent lab tests. In our hands-on tests, Norton AntiVirus Basic outscored every other recent product except Webroot. A single subscription for McAfee AntiVirus Plus lets you install protection on all of your Windows, Android, Mac OS, and iOS devices. And its unusual behavior-based detection technology means Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus is the tiniest antivirus around.

We've named these five Editors' Choice for commercial antivirus, but they're not the only products worth consideration.

Read the reviews of our top-rated products, and then make your own decision.

Note that we have reviewed many more antivirus utilities than we could include in the chart of top products. If your favorite software isn't listed there, chances are we did review it. The blurbs below include every product that managed 3.5 stars or better. All the utilities listed in this feature are Windows antivirus apps. If you're a macOS user, don't despair, however; PCMag has a separate roundup dedicated solely to the best Mac antivirus

clamwin is good but you also have to install clamshield for realtime scanning.
If you have a fast computer Panda is good.(however the new panda dome slows down older PCs)

Bitdefender has never let me down, and it's free.

Many swear McaPhee is the best.

If it's free or cheap is not worth it.

Pay for it.

I started to use 360 Total Security (free) in the last few weeks.
It is one of the best I have seen. Bonus: it does all the windows patches
Also very quick and low memory usage. Optional browser add-on.

Windows 10’s built-in antivirus can now run in a sandbox. Even if an attacker compromises the antivirus engine, they wouldn’t have access to the rest of the system. As Google’s Tavis Ormandy puts it, “this is game changing.”
In fact, Windows Defender is the first complete antivirus product that can run in a sandbox. None of the paid (or free) antivirus products you can download boast this feature.

This news comes from the official Microsoft Secure blog. As Microsoft puts it:
