Keep my PC running fast and efficiently.
I have searched for and tired many different types of scanners to keep my PC running fast and efficiently. Many of them are similar when it comes to picking up the same types of viruses but there is a big difference when it comes to price. Search-and-destroy Antispyware is one of the best that I’ve used so far and it’s even cheaper than some of the better known scans like Norton and similar scanners. I found the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy to be the answer to keeping my PC like new and you can check it out for yourself at http://www.Search-and-destroy.com.

Hi there,

Instead of all these “Mine is better than yours” answers that go on around here, I’ll instead answer with the facts.

Looking at current protection ratings, AVG scores a lowly 90% protection against all known viruses, whilst Avast comes in at 92%. This means they are letting through roughly one in every ten viruses - pretty shocking.

Norton and McAfee are slightly better by protecting against 98.3% and circa 97% respectfully of all known viruses. However, Norton and McAfee can be known for being very heavy programs which can tend to slow down certain machines. If you are thinking of installing either of these I would definitely recommend you download their free trial to check it does not affect your machine in this way prior to opening your wallet.

If you would be interested in other Security products that are better than all of these, you should try either Prevx1, Kaspersky or F-Secure who all score over a 99% protection rating.

Out of these three my recommendation would be Prevx1, as this is the quickest at protecting against new outbreaks of malware.

I recommend Safety and Security Center. I use this one and it is great. It is also free.

I have Kaspersky 3 in one. I like it so mush more than I did Norton. I’ve been using it for 4 months now with absolutely no issues. I got the trial version from. It was free for 30 days, then I bought it for good. You can try all kinds of different anit-virus protection from this site. Some are totally free and some are trial version, most have user reviews too.
