If you change Spysweeper,and use PC tools "Threatfire" instead,you will have a better detection of spyware.It has been shown in several tests,that the proactive protection of Threatfire,is better than spysweepers.If you dont believe it,please look it up.
Use Threatfire together with an existing signature based antivirus,and you have a very secure computer...

Nod 32 is the best man trust me it's the best in the universe!

KASPERSKY is still the best no matter wad happened ,although according the av-test.....kaspersky had high rate of false alarm.....however and the point i wan to stress on was that other internet sercurity or anti-virus software,
kaspersky had both highest rate of detection and THE SOLUTION to remove the virus not like other internet sercurity or anti-vrius software which only hav high detection but no solution to solve the virus issue.

Used avira premium for 2 yrs and yes its very good, but some malware it cannot remove. Now i'm using malwarebytes and guess wud ? no spyware malware viruses etc.... I tried going into some warez porns website w/ crazy popups and spyware and all that shiet and none of them can invade my pc.

I can find another list that say Avira Premium is just as good.It depends on who make the test.Its probably not the best idea,to see on Kaspersky labs site,who is the best?Dohh!
Kaspersky IS one of the better ones,but there are quite a few that go just as deep and find even more.Have you ever heard of 2 A squared?
Look into it.The scanner is free ;)

It scored the best results over the past few tests, visit www.av-comparatives.org for more info, however, there really isn't any Anti-Virus that can be called "The Best", its just what suites YOU well. Go for the ones you like.

I normally do not respond to posts as I am usually looking for knowledge to answers to the same common questions.

To start, I point to this web site: http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse/summary2008­.pdf as far as an independent site that is respected. Since the entire 2008 report is out, take a look at it.

I am using the paid versions of Nod32 with Online Armor as a Firewall. I also paid for Webroot spysweeper which runs on computer startup. I have been happy with all 3. I am looking for a change. Most notably http://www.avira.com/en/products/avira_premium_security_suit­e.html

I have found in my studies that bundled packages however great they seem to be seem to be lacking in one or more respects. Case in instance. It is without a doubt, Avira or Nod32 seem to be the best as far as av, but combine it with the firewall they provide, you get a lesser product. If they excel in one area, leave it at that and buy another product that excels in another area. Do a lot of research. I personally love the site that Gizmo offers as far as freeware with a lot of looks to the paid versions. http://www.techsupportalert.com/

Hope this helps in some small way.

Kaspersky is Better Than Avira Why?
Avira is The First in Detection And Kaspersky is the second
Kaspersky Have the most powerfull Firewall of all antivirus and Avira have a Sucks Firewall


Kaspersky Antivirus + Firewall= 100% Avira Antivirus + Firewall= 70%
