[AV, AM, AS] Security Tools Ultimate Compilation [with Rating] [Mega Thread]

Glad I don't have to placehold anymore... lol. Nice guide, again!
Don't forget to mention that you need 4GB of ram to run all those programs at once (jk).
You can use all those or simply switch to a free *nix distribution and keep the headache away, plus you save some pocket money.
Thanks for your effort writing this guide.
Nice lot of information and it seems to be all trues atleast for the A/V I have used
You sure that norton is so bad i havent problems with it yet and THE NortonPowerEraser is a really gerat tool from norton.
A very good, informative guide. Thanks for taking the time posting this.

Another AV I am liking is Vipre, it isn't as well known but I've been using it and I like it. I'd like to hear what you think of Vipre.
Hey I'm trying to decide between eset, and kepersky. Which one would you recommend and is esets slightly lower detection rate a big deal? Thanks!

If you have a good system, 4GB of RAM and a Dual or Quad (or above) core system - You may consider Kaspersky. If you are already on a slow or weak system, go with Eset. Eset uses less system resources, hence that choice.

Either way, install and run weekly or bi-weekly scans with Malwarebytes free edition (or pay for Pro if you so choose). This is more for a secondary scan and opinion. Example, when a doctor says you are terminally ill but feel file/seem fine, you'll want a second opinion or tests to be run - Hence where Malwarebytes comes into play.

NOTE: Do NOT install two antiviruses at the same time and do not mistake Malwarebytes as a anti virus!
