Mostly Microsoft’s antivirus has been criticized for sub-substandard performance and virus protection.
BEST INVOICE SOFTWARE 2016 FREE
One of the surprise entrants on our list of the best free antivirus software is the Windows Defender antivirus. Windows Defender & Microsoft Security Essentials Even though it scored well in hands-on tests and in tests by other independent labs, we feel the Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) detection can still be improved further with more focus on core antivirus protection rather than other services.
However, such a wealth of features sometimes overshadows the main purpose of the antivirus, and as a result, it lacks out on the security front. It is light on system resources, pretty quick and even provides sandbox and USB protection modules along with Glasswire Firewall and Windows Patch-up components. What we really like about the Qihoo 360 is its pleasant UI, which is very easy to use and even comes with a lot of themes. Not only does it boast of four virus detection engines (namely Avira, BitDefender, 360 Cloud Scan Engine and the 360 QVMII AI Engine) but also packs in system tuneup and cleanup features along with a host of other useful tools. The China-based company Qihoo 360’s Total Security Antivirus is one of the most versatile antivirus present out there. Several new features feature prominently in the antivirus such as Sandbox emulation, scheduler and command line scanner. It offers smooth installation, non-intrusive notifications along with detailed custom scanning. With its latest update, the AdAware has observed much-needed improvements in detection technology and User Interface. As the name suggests, the antivirus started off as an anti-adware program but with time, it has been developed into a complete security suite. Lavasoft’s AdAware antivirus has been in the game for some time. Although, we feel that it lacks out on some important features such as phishing protection and is somewhat not as effective against zero-day threats as you would want your antivirus to be. It is pretty effective in detecting threats and moreover it can also detect wireless networks and automatically apply the most secure firewall settings on its own in addition to providing real-time security updates. With antivirus protection licensed by security giant Kaspersky, Zone Alarm boasts of a built-in and highly efficient firewall along with features such as kernel level virus prevention, automatic updates and a web security and privacy toolbar.
