Started off with McAfee (came pre-installed with the PC), however it bashed up my PC real bad. So uninstalled it and went for Avast (Free edition) works like a charm :)
AVG Internet Security 2016. Malewarebytes Premium. Spybot. Advanced System Care 9.1 Pro.
Whenever I have a new machine of any descrition, the first thing I do is remove Norton (and symantec folder) and McAfee if loaded.
I just use Windows Defender these days, I keep a copy of malware bytes around in case I feel I need a additional scan but have yet to run into this. Honestly I have not had any virus problems since I stopped torrenting years ago and using mass software downloads from Ninite.com. Good browsing habits + Defender+ good firewall configuration = A stable and secure system
TrustPort Antivirus 2015.
Bitdefender 2015 Maximum Security no complaints and runs smoothly than ever.
It's the heuristics that scan each and every file after folder scan. It will see if any MD5 hash is identical to the database and then flag it as malware.I have a general question about anti viruses:
If there are millions of known viruses in the database of some anti virus software, how can it scan so fast?
Doesn't it need to check each and every file and match it with millions of viruses? So how does it scan each file in a millisecond?
