There aren’t many free antivirus solutions that made the list, or were even tested for that matter. Active Virus Shield, at number 3, is not only one of the highest-ranked antivirus solutions on the list, but it is also completely free. Both AVG and Avast have a free version that they offer, but their paid solutions were tested instead.

Hi drhayden1,

Thanks for the link. I knew that Kaspersky’s has the best update level of all. Some like DrWeb has innovation frills. What is the best for online scanning at the moment?

Kaspersky is not a surprise.
Is NOD32 getting bad?
Surprise for me on Active Virus Shield and, for the position, F-Secure and BitDefender.
BullGuard is that well-known but I’ve read good things of it.
Ashampoo and eScan are becoming better and better.

Good that avast is better than AVG Anti-Malware. It’s a very deep improvement on signatures.
Man, the big boys stay very behind this time… McAfee and Norton.

A-Squared has dropped on my concept too…
Wasn’t ClamWin with a better detection?
