Best PAID antivirus?

[viel]

Hello,
I am wondering what is the best paid antivirus out there? I have done some research but it's a bit hard to find the answer, what has the best detection rate? (just curious) I have heard a lot about Kaspersky and how good it is, but I am not sure.

Thanks.

PS: Does this Free scanner have the same detection rate as the paid one? Just minus the RT protection.etc? https://www.kaspersky.com.au/free-virus-scan

Dude, search the forums please. This question gets asked every few days here.
In a 5-minute search I found: What is the best anti virus software?

Regarding your second question about Kaspersky scanner, probaby yes.
Anyway, if you really want to check your PC with a good scanner, try Zemana Portable.

There is no such thing as the best paid or free Anti Virus, it is up to you to try a few or all and make your choice to suit your needs and system.

Don't mean to sound rude but considering you created this thread under "Kaspersky" i would say give them a try. Kaspersky has always done very well in malware hub. As @frogboy said though, i would consider signing up for free trials and giving them all a shot. See what you like more. Each one has their pros and cons.

My opinion against viruses and set protection:
Norton > Kaspersky > Bitdefender > Eset > Avast...

Against Pup's
Emsisoft > Malwarebytes > Zemana..

Phishing
Norton Toolbar and it still has Norton DNS as more protection

as the result of MH :
1-Kaspersky
2-Norton
3-so so

Like other guys said above, the best option is to choose some top AV softwares and try them, you'll able to customize them, see how perform in your pc...etc.
If you don't want to try, and you want to go directly for one, I always recommend Kaspersky and Norton: if you're more advenced user and want customization and options, go for Kaspersky. If you want a good install-and-forget software, go for Norton.

For my serious Kapersky internet security. It has everything, but that does not guarantee that you will have be immunized,

Really no reason to pay for a antivirus ,if you have to Kaspersky is the only one.

Malware and Antivirus is designed by people's like us. Nothing is best and perfect. .You are the best antivirus for your system.

Selecting antivirus for system. It's little bit different because their are millions of Computers running on different hardware ( like processor,ram,storage etc). Antivirus is code to prevent a Computer from viruses which infect system cause slow downs,strange behavior etc.
Different specification (Computer) need different security suite like laptop or computer,low or high performance. Understand your requirement and choice what fit in your system. Spouse: You picked a topline antivrus and installed in your system but your system is not able to handle it then everything is waste. we see many antivirus have strong parent control,detection. On demand scanner like EKK (Emisoft Emergency kit) is recommend and it's free.

In my opinion, Norton Security is the best Paid solution for a Windows PC.

ClamAV®

Bitdefender or Kaspersky

They all fluctuate from month-to-month. I remember when Malwarebytes was all the craze a few months ago. Now everyone avoids it. You can't go wrong with the big antivirus companies. Just fish for discounts before you buy something and look at what they do. Some are very lightweight and great for gaming, others have great web protection/reputation services, others are good for office/email/anti-phishing.

If you have a good specs for your PC, I would recommend Bitdefender Total Security. Bitdefender is really good for ransomware. It has SAFE FILES to really protect from it and it has autopilot. If you turn on the activate profiles automatically, it is really great when you play games, watch movies and open file documents because it will adjust automatically for that profile to boost performance of your PC. If you find it a little bit heavy, it only means that you are protected. And most especially, you can find a lot of sales of Bitdefender licenses that you can buy at a very affordable price. Everything you need in a security suite is already in Bitdefender. Thank you. I do not know why others find it or even called it King of Bugs. Anyway, it is a personal preference.

You could not be more right,Moi61

 

[mekelek]

I guess I will quote myself the 10th time
"Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Norton, Emsisoft, you can't go wrong with either of these"

there are no best, there are top5 consistent ones like the ones mentioned

 

[frogboy]

If I had to pick though I would suggest Norton Security or Emsisoft Internet Security on my experiences.

Any big name vendor is fine. But that should not be the only defense.
You need to have a multilayered approach to security.
You should install Ransomfree from cyberreason which is free by the way.
You also need a white-listing program / anti executable so that when you are using the PC there is less chance of driveby downloads and fileless malware.
