TOP 5 ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE.

1. BitDefender Antivirus:

The best antivirus in the IT industry, with its impeccable speed in finding the malwares and blocking, BitDefender is the number one antivirus of 2013. Super fast on independent systems makes it very much the most preferred among end users.

The only con that we can come across was its large installation. But this simply diminishes when we hear about the extra features that this antivirus has to offer. An Autopilot mode to offer silent security, Rescue Mode for tough threats, private data protection, identity theft monitoring are just some of the features it has to offer. It also allows us remote monitoring and configuration.  Not mention about the Facebook protection. With one of the best antiphishing tool, BitDefender is the best and the number one on our top 10 Antivirus Software’s in 2013.

2. Kaspersky Antivirus :

Kaspersky Antivirus is one of the best that the antivirus world has to offer. With very good performance on individual systems, Kaspersky is rated very high among the antivirus rivals. The New File Advisor feature reveals the file’s reputation. Also it can fix the Internet Explorer and Windows settings. Another feature is that it can clean up the traces of computer and browser activities.

Very little is to say about its cons. Phishing protection is pretty weak against some of the latest sites. And there are certain chances that some of the malware might be missed. Apart from all that Kaspersky is still being highly rated among the antivirus labs. And thus this brings Kaspersky Antivirus 2013 at the number 2 spot in our countdown to the best antivirus.

3.ESET NOD32 Antivirus :

A very good contender for the top spot, only if been improved, the NOD32 antivirus finishes in 3^th spot of our roundup of antivirus of 2013. With a good user interface and a good malware cleanup, NOD32 is a good recommendation for end users. Also scanning can be done in Safe Mode.

But the malware blocking seems a bit inconsistent; also it was weak against some of the rootkits. But these cons don’t hold back this performer. With a good speed in scanning, NOD32 standouts in the number 3

spot.

4.Norton Antivirus :

One of the strong performers in recent years, the Norton antivirus is always worth a try. With very good malware removal and blocking, this antivirus makes into the top 4 spots which is highly congested.

An attractive polished interface and a map showing the global cybercrime activity over the last 24 hours, Norton Antivirus has certain standout features to look for. Rated high in independent tests, this antivirus offers certain additional tools to remove persistent malware. Also it can integrate with Norton products too.

The only drawback are its web based protection and its speed. Although it has put up good scores in speed testing, but they aren’t top notch. If Norton can brush up it’s time managing issues then this antivirus is sure for a top spot, but for the time it makes the ^4th spot in our top Antivirus list.

5.McAfee Antivirus:

A Site Advisor Live that creates safe links for sharing, file encryption and a very good and thorough scanning speed, McAfee Antivirus 2013 makes it up to the number 5spot in our top antivirus rankings. Apart from these standouts, McAfee also provides us with a wide range of new options like the Network Intruder Alert systems, an improved Parental control and also in denying the access to some of the dangerous sites.

Although some of the independent systems has detected malwares, the McAfee antivirus is rated second best with its huge security features, chest like interfaces, shredding and its accurate spam filtering services.
