Which is a better anti-virus Kaspersky or McAfee?

Answer 1

I'm a huge McAfee fan becaus ethey have been in the industry for years and their website has good information about new and old viruses and hoaxes

Answer 2

Hi there,

Looking at current protection ratings, Kaspersky is quite a bit better than McAfee.

McAfee is currently protecting against circa 97% of all known viruses. However, it can also be known for being a very heavy program which can tend to slow down certain machines. If you are thinking of installing this I would definitely recommend you download their free trial to check it does not affect your machine in this way prior to opening your wallet.

If you would be interested in other Security products that are better than all of McAfee, you should try either Prevx1, Kaspersky (as already mentioned) or F-Secure who all score over a 99% protection rating.

Out of these three my recommendation would be Prevx1, as this is the quickest at protecting against new outbreaks of malware.

Answer 3

I not use either one, but, from what I have read on these Kaspersky is better. Like the first answer say, it use less system resources and not slow the computer as much.

Answer 4

Kaspersky is the best one.
