[QUOTE="RyuSCi6, post: 942480, member: 84964"] Below is my personal list on what to look for. #1 Antivirus website - Is it a legit antivirus? -- If it a well-known antivirus, this should be easy. - What does it protect? -- more like features - What solutions it offer, are there free solutions? - Reasonable priced? - Specifications? -- unless you run on very old computer or laptop, this shouldn't be a problem. #2 Performance review - AV-Test, AV-Comparative, SE Labs, TPSC, etc. -- also look for the consistency of the protection. - Review from the internet/blogs (less reliable) or even someone you know using it It mandatory to read from many sources since you'll see more perspectives on the product and how well it perform. (since reviewers doesn't usually test the antivirus the same way, and for additional opinion on the product) #3 (Ideally) Test the Free/Trial solution it provided - The most reliable source of review is using the product yourself - This can tell many things. Is the software work? Is it compatible with your computer settings? How was the user experience? Does it has any problem with your computer? Is the free solution suit your needs? etc. If all passed then you're good to go. [/QUOTE]
