Why you think that nod32 and avg are worse ? Many users are satisfied with nod32
Rahul i think you are the worse reviewer of Nod32 and first
ever person in my life who have internet knowledge but still
had bad reviews about ESET AV products ??
Buddy Dont reply on your personal unexperienced Review, explore
the web and find out reviews of Real techies then review here,
1 year back when i started my forum , I always suggested my forum
Members to use Nod32 but everybody suspected on my review, But at present all techies [ More than 50 ] who were using nortron, kaspersky, macfee etc. switched to Eset and its there first AV choice.
Eset is simply best yet low on resources AV.
One mistake Nod is in top antivirus list. and ranked 5th. i wrote it wrong. so, sorry.
Dude i not newbie in antivirus field i used more than 50 antivirus. and few times i crased my windows.
Nod works good but it is not better than Kaspersky and Bitdefender. But kaspky is silent and simply best. i gave a link of top review site. if you still dont agree than be happy with Nod i am happy with Kaspky.
kasperky is cheap in india only 450bucks and three user keys.
Avg, norton, panda, mcafee, and zone alarm are not in top ten list. Check here.

Norton and Macfee lost their charm.

Rahul´s last blog post..Fun By Earn Report For May
i have tried eset nod32 before (i think a year ago), but there was a time it happened that i suspected my computer was infected and nod 32 didn’t able to detect it. i tried another antivirus (avg) and it did able to detect sucessfully 2 viruses that keeps my computer works slow. minus grade for eset there. another thing is not all people are techies or knowledgeables, eset nod 32’s interface gives another minus score. anyway i’m using avast home right now and so far i got no problem and a “techie friend” appreciated its performance.;p plus points to all of you guys..:)
PS: all of them are good..but noone knows when their security will be successfully break-in by some “witties”.
i’m agree with your comment avg, nod 32 and etc. are the worst ecept the kaspesky and bitdefender
i agree avg is superflop antivirus
This looks like a very good list.. Im using Avast right now..
i’m using avast too.;p i got a free 1 yr license from them when i downloaded the installer and register to their mailing list. so far i did’t had any chance of cursing avast..now still happy with it too.;)
Great List! I think we cannot sort them very accurately since each and every Anti-virus has its own advantages and drawbacks!

I love this site
The best one is Kaspersky Antivirus
and after it comes Eset Nod 32.
Mayur´s last blog ..Comment on Track backlinks to your website or blog using RSS feeds by Andy
Kaspersky definitely the best ever.
but personally, I think AVG should be out of the list. I hate it. some time ago, AVG let a lot of viruses into my PC. It detects the viruses but does not get rid of it. I never trust it again after that.
mr.eims @ eimsnetwork´s last blog ..Uterine fibroids – smooth muscle tumors of uterus
I used many anti-virus applications. I was satisfied with Kaspersky, Luke, Norton and Panda. I would not recommend avast because this program requirements are far behind its reliability. It is standard, common program, but eats so much memory… Anyway in every single anti-virus program the key to success is daily updated list of possible threats. Every modern program has that included and I think that they all are good.

kaspersky is the best antivirus when it is up-to-date
kaspersky is the best!!!!!!!!! hohohohoh!!! and the worst is the AVG hahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
TIPS!!
don’t buy a kaspersky installer
you just download it from torrent websites its free of price and virus
OF course, there will be a lot of controversy surrounding every antivirus review lineup on the internet. Even big media confuse each other with the definition of the best antivirus or such as their result will be different one and another. For me, I just concentrate on which provides more features, less on system resource, has at least some certifications on independent organizations, less expensive, and I am ready.
This Is The Good Job. This Farformance Is Very God
I think that Nod 32 is the best… It detects hidden viruses in computer.. i used to use Avast home, but it wasn’t that great… I believe Nod 32 should be in the top list followed by Kaspersky…
i have a problem of installing kaspersky in my computer because i recently had avast and it is no longer seen. if u want to install the latter it requires you to remove the former while it is not seen even in control panel.please help me.
hi all antivirus watcher….. kaspersky is the best.and i think it is the father of all antivirus……. its main thing is that its prevent lots of threat which comes from net… and whosr r lots dengrous then any static virus
Kaspersky is # 1 on my list, period.
I tried Avira for months, after the key expired i uninstall it and noticed my internet download speed faster. Weird.
iHenshin´s last blog ..New Moon: Taylor Lautner in Black Leather Converse
Kaspersky Anti-Virus and internet Security best

i m using KASPERSKY internet security 2010 and it’s best
plz tell me from where i should download kaspersky and mcafee with fully working keys plz email me i couldnt find it
i am using bit-defender anti-virus, and its working very good and i think it is the among others………………
I think Microsoft Security Essential is best…..Avg and Mcafee should be out of this list. Also Kaspersky is good but very slow in update
the review is great for commercial/not-free products. there’s a review for free antivirus products a http://bestfreeantivirus.ninenorth.com.
Bit Defender is worst Anti Virus I ever experienced. Kaspersky is the best and top. AVG desrve for second rank in my opinion. Thank you Simaran Deep for the nice stuff.

I am little agree with the post…………….Kaspersky is best. But AVG may not in the top 10 list.Also top ranked antivirus like Microsoft Security Essential and EScan Are missing from the list.ESET NOD is better than PANDA and Bitdefender.
