Malwarebytes

. Malwarebytes

“Last but not least”, Malwarebytes is an unique kind of easy-to-use Anti-malware application and Antivirus which actively protect against all forms of Malware. This software is very simple to use. Let it be installation, configuration or detecting malware, the process is really simple and straight. The feature I liked in Malwarebytes is “FileAssassin”. It helps us to delete locked files.
It does an excellent job as an Anti-Malware software. I guess with future upgrades it’ll have more advanced features. Malwarebytes is a computer application that finds and removes malware. It is started by Malwarebytes Corporation. It is an effective anti-malware tool.
Though free Antivirus software are enough to provide basic security to your system, but if you do sensitive works like online banking, downloading stuffs, etc, you can consider switching to a premium one. Also if you can afford one you can buy it without second thought.

Which is your favorite antivirus software in this?

Honestly many people didn’t know PC Tools is now owned by popular Antivirus company Symantec. PC Tools was acquired by Symantec in 2008. PC Tools is dedicated to delivering simple online security and system utility consumer solutions for Windows computers.

Comodo

Comodo

This is not just a firewall but also has some basic Antivirus features. So you can count on it. Comodo is a popular firewall cum Antivirus software that uses proprietary technology to secure your system. They provide on-access protection. They have some other features, and I love this HIPS Protection thing. It prevents and stops malicious spyware and malware from being installed or executed.

Comodo Antivirus pack includes a full range of detection features for viruses, spyware, rootkits, and other malware. When I looked for a free Antivirus/Firewall software many people recommended me this and I was quickly impressed with the feedback they gave. This will be a good competition for both free Antivirus and Premium Antivirus software. Comodo has a team of over 600 people for creating trust online.

Panda Cloud Antivirus

Panda Cloud Antivirus

Cloud? Is it something about Cloud Computing? Panda Cloud Antivirus is actually based on cloud computing, like they are installed on your computer only partially and keeps core files on a dedicated server (or cloud). One of the cool features I came across is you don’t have to manually update it.

You can count on it because Panda Security is a reputed security company founded in 1990. I’m also curious to try this. Panda Cloud Antivirus is lightn and ease of use adapted for your business. This cloud-based enpoint protection has Device Control technology. Panda Cloud Antivirus is based on Collective Intelligence, a system for detecting and disinfecting viruses and other threats that feeds off the knowledge shared by millions of users.

ZoneAlaram

ZoneAlaram

ZoneAlarm is a good free Antivirus + Firewall software but people rarely made use of it. I just checked out this software installed in my friend’s computer for this post. The free version of ZoneAlarm is good and has all the features (above basic) for protecting a computer. I loved their Anti-Phishing/Site Status Toolbar and Advanced Firewall features which gives premium performance.

The product feels light even with all these features. The ZoneAlarm family of products is among the most popular and successful Internet security products available on the market. ZoneAlarm protects over 80 million PCs from viruses, spyware, hackers and identity theft.

Bitdefender Free Edition

Bitdefender Free Edition

I think you might be surprised to see Bitdefender here. Many of us don’t know Bitdefender has a basic free version apart from their regular paid versions. Their Free Edition uses the same ICSA Labs certified scanning engines found in other Bitdefender products. It allows you to enjoy basic virus protection for no cost at all. I’m using Bitdefender premium version for my Mac, and so far great experience.

This free antivirus software download is an on-demand virus scanner, which is best used in a system recovery or forensics role. They have two types of scanning – Scheduled and Immediate. Bitdefender made a great move by releasing a free edition and entered the top free antivirus software circle like a king.

Avast

Avast

I went through their facts section and saw this “165,963,809 devices protected by Avast!”, now that’s a huge number. Avast! is available for Windows, Mac, and Android. Avast! program partly operates in the cloud and has extensive database for standard files. The user interface panel looks pretty decent and neat. If I’m recollecting correctly Avast! is one of the first Antivirus software I have used.

It has the lowest memory and CPU usage comparing other Antivirus software. Avast’s free security software solutions are dependable, fast, uses few resources, and often outperform their competitors’ paid-for products. I tried out their free Antivirus Software for Mac, and it looks pretty promising, considering the fact you can download and use it for free. I also installed their Android application, need to test that when I’m free.
