Antivirus Software

Does anyone know some of the best antivirus software used today?.

Linux.

I just mean putting a piece of software on my laptop and having done with it, with linux don't you have to put it on another computer and also have knowledge of linux, just a quick and easy piece of software is what i am really looking for, but something that works good.

There's plenty to choose from. I use Microsoft Security Essentials. As to whch is the "best", I've no idea.

In my opinion i would say http://www.eset.com/us/home/products/smart-security/ is the best out there...


also a free trial offer.so you can try before you buy

I'll just install Linux to my Windows PC and know it will work.

To the OP:

Check out AV Comparatives. Persoanlly if I'm prepared to fiddle, Kaspersky (although it's default setup is very easy). Norton is quite simple for the beginner.

As a single user? Don't visit porn sites or similar.

As a family user? Either use Linux and instruct your family how to be careful or spend £100s a year and tell your family how to be careful.

Never spend money on AV. Install Microsoft Security Essentials. Run as a standard user account / turn on UAC.

Another vote for MSE.

Register for a Barclays Bank Account & Online Banking and you can get a 3 user license key for Kaspersky Internet Security 2012, plus 1 license key for Kaspersky Mobile Security 9.

You don't even need to use Barclays in any way other than having the account be live. Win win situation; in effect, 4 keys for a 10 minute registration process.
