I think the best Anti Virus is ESET Nod32. Too.

Best Antiviurs East Nod32 All Time

Back when I use to use windows 7 (I use ubuntu now) I use to and still run Malwarebytes(It just simply works) on most of my windows boxes. Back in the day it was avast/mbam combo which worked very well, But the job of a antivirus is just basically a glorified IDS(Depending on features) with the ability to detect worms/malware/trojans/etc via filehash, So really when picking "The best av" is to pick one with a high detection rate etc, So far mbam has done this perfectly However if the file source is a stub/encrypted then the antivirus wont be able to pick it up at runtime because the code has had obfuscation applied, Helping the malware evade AV, A lot(if not all) of it will be written into memory (Typically via DLL injection) to evade detection(Disk writing will normally alert a av). Typically researchers will perform Static Analysis of the malware first to get a good-overview of what the malware is trying to do, This could be looking for certain strings(string extraction) This way we can analyze a malware sample without actually executing it. Researchers can also do Dynamic Analysis to learn the behaviour of malware, which requires live execution. Then studying the behaviour of what it does upon/after execution, i.e Did that malware just drop something in my Documents folder? Did it just try to make a log file, config file, etc?

If anyone is interested in windows malware, Make sure to check out the Flare-VM project:https://github.com/fireeye/flare-vm
You can also build the vm from scratch your self, But they make take time to setup properly.


I also tend to use CCleaner and Rougekiller when cleaning infected computers, As well as some boot time scan disks for a deeper clean. I also tend to do all of this in safe mode(WITH NO NETWORKING)


Also social engineering: If it is to good to be true then it prob is.

kaspersky is killing ram.. i am using eset nod32

BitDefender Total Security, but I admit I am subjective. So, don't hit me too hard.

My li'l brother is. Kaspersky is a close second.

Don't use one now. Earlier I used BitDefender and Malwarebytes. They both are good.
Had Avast for several years too, but then there came a time where it was able to detect a threat but not remove it. But a fresh install of malewarebytes fix it.. That's when I stopped using Avast. I have grown to dislike it since I moved to bitdefender.

You should probably add / Best anti malware as well
For example Malwarebytes premium is one of the best anti malware softwares for malewares
Because there's a difference between anti malware and anti virus.
And you can reset the trial none stop >.>

I've started using ZoneAlarm Antivirus. It is a new antivirus for me because three months ago I have not even heard about it. It is hard to say if it is the best because I have not met serious problems yet. But it is working well. Before I used Norton. Probably among the good antiviruses but I decided to try something new.

I have always used NOD practically. Initially I was looking for keys on Google that worked for 1-2 months, then I broke my balls and bought a key from ebay for 3-4€ (I don't remember) but that lasts 2 years.
