~ Top Ten Best Antivirus for 2012 ~
« on: January 30, 2012, 03:05:27 PM »














SoftwareNewsDaily have scoured the interwebs for independent reviews, and compiled a list of the top ten best antivirus software for 2012.





10. Vipre Antivirus 4


A relative newcomer to the Antivirus software game, Vipre Antivirus 4 earns some serious points with its efficient, lightweight scanning engine. Unfortunately, while  it may excel in efficiency, it seems to fall short of the mark when it comes to protections against phishing, spam and identity theft protection.


9. Avira Antivirus Premium

Equipped with a fine balance between protection and performance, this software is an excellent choice if you don’t mind over-protection (false positives). The Advanced Heuristics Analysis and Detection (AHeAD) system has a tendency to flag  non-malware incorrectly.


8. Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus + 2012

Trend Micro’s recently revamped line of security software delivers fast, lightweight protection and utilizes cloud technology to provide real-time updates to your software. However, a lack of defense against spam and phishing make this product fall behind a few of its competitors.


7. McAffee Antivirus Plus 2012

McAfee has long been a household name in the realm of antivirus protection, so it is no surprise that they have made the top 10 list once again. McAfee earns more than a few gold stars for its exceptional protection against Viruses, Trojans, spyware and other threats, however its lack of password protection, and not-so-great defenses against keyloggers caused this program to lose some points.


6. AVG Antivirus 2012

Exceptional malware protection, continual updates, plus LinkScanner technology and Social Media Protection make this one of the best antivirus products available on the consumer market. However, that awesome protection power comes at the cost of speed.


5. ESET Nod32 Antivirus 5

Advanced diagostic tools, heuristic detection and little or no slowdown, this security program delivers powerful protection for a very good price. The main problem that consumers havefound is in the somewhat clunky, outdated user interface.


4. Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2012

A new, cloud-based approach from webroot delivers a fast, effective defense against many different types of malware, while using as few system resources as possible. The lightning-fast scans, minimal system resource consumption, automatic updates and free technical support brings this product almost to the top of the list.


3. Norton Antivirus 2012

Norton is back with their acclaimed antivirus software, ready to tackle yet another year’s worth of malware and viruses. With outstanding security, a light footprint and exceptional technical support, Norton Antivirus 2012 is one of our top recommendations.


2. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012

Kaspersky Anti-Virus delivers unbelievable virus and malware protection at -reportedly- a 100% success rate. Intelligent scanning of your system blocks threats before they get anywhere near your computer, and comprehensive, always up-to-date virus definitions ensure that you are always protected. The only drawback to this program is -possibly- the price tag.


1. BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2012

At the top of the leaderboard for the best antivirus of 2012 is BitDefender Antivirus Plus. This software features an unbeatable, award-winning combination of state-of-the-art virus and malwareprotections, social media defense, and comprehensive updates to ensure that your systems receive unparalleled protection, without breaking the bank. Some of the features included in 2012 that placed BitDefender ahead of its competition include the new Virtualized Browser, Rescue Mode and Scan Dispatcher.
