The Best Antivirus for 2012 by PCMag

[jamescv7]

Quote:New model-year security products used to come out in the fall, like new model-year cars. In 2011, though, the first 2012 antivirus (G Data AntiVirus 2012 ($29.95 direct, 3.5 stars) turned up way back in May. So far PCMag has reviewed over a dozen antivirus tools explicitly identified as 2012 models, along with a number of others released during the same period.

Best result i have seen for Webroot so far, also sad to see Panda scored poorly.
I take these results with a pinch of salt anyways

Same like past PcMag review, Norton always be the editor of choice.

I agree with u muhammadariif ..

Norton will be the editor of choice because of the reputation it has. If you took all the paid AVs away I bet Avast would be up the top.

Not sure if avast can beat any other free antivirus, but many people will prefer avast.

Well that is what I would prefer. Also hasn't Norton been the top for a while now?

I've noticed that Avast is not included in this review why? PcMag make review for Panda and AVG and not Avast
