Answer 2

Hi there,

Thank God - someone who finally doesn't like AVG!

AVG, Spybot and Adaware are always unwittingly recommended on here, but they really are quite awful now. Shockingly these three programs used in conjunction now protects you from less than 60% of the threats out there today. In all seriousness, these programs (especially spybot and adaware) are no longer good enough to be your only protection against viruses, spyware and adware (as well as trojans, rootkits and other nasties). They used to be great programs a couple of years ago, but have now been overtaken by programs with next-generation approaches.

Looking at the latest mainstream protection scores it's currently Kaspersky that comes out on top (although seems to generate a high number of false positives), ahead of McAfee and then Norton. However, these scores are all currently dwarfed by another program called Prevx1. This is an all-in-one-solution that protects against all forms of infection (virii, spyware, adware, trojans, rootkits, etc), and has proven to have the strongest protection and clean-up capabilities of all security products available today.

Besides being inherently stronger than conventional security products, Prevx1 also protects against new malware threats that most popular security products do not. Regular security products have to catch a new piece of malware, test it in the laboratory, before creating a signature and making it available for their product to download to your PC - probably once a day at best. During this time, your PC is not protected. Prevx1 however, works in a completely unique way meaning it defends your PC from new malware from the instant it is first seen anywhere in the world - even without signatures and downloadable updates.

This alone is what makes Prevx1 currently the best security solution you can get.
