Best anti-virus for Windows 7

Same here, MSE is the best of the free anti virus products. AVG is no good (no "real time protection" in the free version). Avira doesn't scan emails with their free version. Avast is decent and updates on a daily basis, and it's a good choice, too. It's probably better than all the free ones, except MSE. I've never paid for an anti virus product, so I can't tell you about any of them, except VIPRE. It's not free, but is said to be solid protection. There are a few people on here that endorses that one, I think Veedaz used it, and so does Mr. Fisher, who contributes here on a semi-regular basis. He has a site that is (or was) giving $5 US dollars off the price. He's also a Microsoft MVP, and wouldn't knowingly endorse a bad product. So, there's a few choices to think about.

Comodo internet security. i have tried many others, but this is the most robust one.

Isn't that the one where you have to get the firewall to get the anti-virus? If so, are you required in the EULA to use both services? I know a dude looking for a complete package.

I think I need to cleanup the post so we can start over, I really would hate to close this thread.

Malwarebytes and AVG free... you guys are good at "cleaning" stuff up

Hi linuxdudex12 - Welcome to w7forums

You wouldn't happen to be the brother of linuxdudex10 by any chance, eh?

Nod 32 security suite gets consistently good independent report and has never let me down.

Another one of these threads? If you're looking to install an AV suite, then security must be your concern. If security is your concern, then AV performance should naturally be your top priority. From that perspective, it's completely objective to choose the best AV suite: http://tech.icrontic.com/news/avira-...n-av-accuracy/

We have being changing things on our Computers so ATM across 5 Computers all running Windows 7 we are using Vipre, Eset, MSE, Avira, and Avast, each Computer has a different security including Firewalls ... its very interesting !.
