I just want to share my "humble" opinion.

 

I was asked by this question a lot of time. What is the best antivirus or internet security? My answer is "YOU".

 

No antivirus software can help you if even you, yourself invites viruses to infect you. So my first advice is to practice "safe browsing". You can google "How did I get infected in the first place" you the complete article, but basically here is the general idea.

  • Don't use P2P/Warez softwares. This is one of the best way to get infected.
  • Don't visit porn sites. (If you can't resist pm me and I will suggest a way to keep you safe doing it)
  • Don't open file attachment on emails. (especially if you don't know the sender or you are not expecting a file from them.
  • Scan your flash drive before trying to access it.
  • Stay away from Internet Explorer. It is just to risky and there are good alternatives. Firefox and Chrome to name a few.
  • Update your Windows and JAVA regularly. Lately JAVA is receiving a lot of attacks lately because of its gaining popularity on social networking sites.

 

Now just to be clear, Antivirus and Internet Security are not the same. The first is important and the latter is not. Almost all the AntiVirus posted here are good. I personally recommend Avast, though it uses more resources. It is because it offers 7 more real time protection.

 

Other software that is good lying on your desktop

  • Malwarebytes Anti-malware
  • Spybot Search & Destroy

 

I don't personally recommend Internet Security suite. A router is better. Even if you only use 1 pc I still suggest you use a router. That way when a hacker try to attack it sees a router and not the WAN IP of your pc. That is also how an Internet Security works. Oh, also don't turn off Windows firewall. (Again if your having problem with windows firewall, eg. Playing games, pm me and I'll be glad to help you.

 

I don't personally recommend using Registry cleaners. As leo laporte says. It uses a specific database, compares your registry to it and delete all that is not found in its database. What if the software you use is a new one and that is not included in the database of the Registry cleaner? Windows updates for example.

 

Hope this helps. :hypocritesmiley:
