which anti-virus is best for the pc?  

well , I am feeling HAPPY to answer your question , I would like to suggest you to access the source site if it's available , for more information.
Reviewers say Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 is the best all-around antivirus program. It excels at its primary task of preventing viruses. Reviews agree that Kaspersky is better than the bestseller Norton AntiVirus 2008 in all aspects. Kaspersky is fast and light; it won't slow your computer as much as the bestsellers. According to users, Kaspersky has more software conflicts and issues than the average antivirus program. Yet program users express a much higher level of satisfaction with Kaspersky antivirus software than with Norton or McAfee programs.

Best antivirus software for expert users.
Reviews unanimously agree that NOD32 is as good as or better than Kaspersky Anti-Virus in all but one area: Reviews of last year's version 2.7 said NOD32 had an unintuitive and confusing user interface. However, early reviews of the brand new version (3.0) indicate that the program is considerably improved, though still not very elegant, and some say that expert users might be happiest with the software as it still needs some tweaking for best results. Computer experts say NOD32 offers great protection, no system drain and no software conflicts. User satisfaction with NOD32 is much higher than with any other antivirus program. It consistently earns top average ratings, while competitors earn average ratings or worse.

Free antivirus software.
Professional reviewers conclude that AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is the best of the free antivirus programs, and it is handily the most popular as well. No substantial reviews compare free and commercial programs, but reviews of the commercial version of AVG provide one yardstick. That program fares poorly when compared with Kaspersky and NOD32, among others. AVG and other free programs offer much less user control than commercial programs, but users swear they work. If you're diligent and careful about your personal security practices, free antivirus software might be enough.


Hope it will help you out.

Hi,

Well In my view Nod32 is best in the business.

It has the best security features available in it.
I am using it for both office and home.

In office till now we have not faced any problem of security
Nod32 takes care of all kind of viruses.
We only use Internet without being worried about viruses.

Moreover, It is developed by ESET, one of the best anti virus brand.

You can download it using the following site:

Just download it and than install in your system.

Scan your system to check for viruses. You need to update it after certain period of time so that it can scan the new viruses.

Here are my favorites for protecting your home computer against deadly computer viruses.

Avast Home Edition, a popular choice for home computers, offers free virus protection, an intuitive interface, and regular updates. This is a solid and well-respected program to keep your computer virus-free. (Free/Windows)

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is the trial version of an excellent virus protection program. You can schedule regular scans for viruses when you know you'll be away from your computer. I use this one on my home computer. I've been thinking about upgrading to the pro version but haven't gotten around to it yet. (Shareware/Windows)

NOD32 for Windows is another popular and powerful home virus program that scans for viruses in the background while you work on your computer. This one quietly scans Internet traffic, e-mail, and any floppy disks you use, keeping viruses and worms away from your system. (Shareware/Windows)

Any of these programs is a great choice for virus protection. The sooner you get one of these apps, the less chance that the latest virus will infiltrate your system.

Best antivirus software overall.

Security suite.
Security suites bundle antivirus and anti-spyware software, a firewall and other components into a single program. Reviews say the secondary features (such as spam prevention) of Panda Internet Security 2008 aren't very good, but it excels at its primary tasks (virus and spyware prevention). User reviews indicate no conflicts with other security programs. Panda is also cheaper than other security suites. Panda's standalone Antivirus 2008 is about $10 cheaper, but not recommended in the only early review we found.

Most popular antivirus software.
Norton continues to be the bestselling antivirus program, and reviews say it's excellent at detecting viruses. However, half of all users complain that Norton AntiVirus slows their computer to a crawl, and that it conflicts with other software. Only a quarter of users give the program a high rating. Users also dislike the high level of control Norton exercises over a system.
