Choosing Anti Virus software can be a little mind blowing. Their are countless companies claiming that their software is superior. The two most important factors to consider are, How good does the software detect “in the wild viruses, and How often does the software give false positives. You must also decide between a paid version or a FREE version. I suggest going with a paid version if you do things on the internet that make you high risk for getting a virus or if you are a new computer user.

Some Free Anti Virus Software:

• Avast Home - my current preference ,catches almost everything, it has a very bad User Interface and is complicated.
• Command Antivirus- free online version, paid downloaded version
• AVG - WAS a favorite of mine, it just doesn’t catch much.

Some Paid Anti Virus Software:

• Norton Antivirus - best all around, bloated and almost impossible to completely remove.
• Mcafee Virus Scangood virus scanner, annoying program
• Panda Antivirus Platinum
• F-Secure Anti-Virus
