The poll is NOT about which is the best but rather, of these ten options which is most likely to prevent an infection. IGNORE all other attributes such as ease of use or which is lighter or faster, etc.
The poll is about the Antivirus software. The poll is addressing realtime PREVENTION ONLY...base your opinion on any version of the software that was released or updated anytime after January 2011.
The intent of this poll is to gather opinions about brand names more so than a specific version...the challenge with this intent is that one brand might improve or get worse relative to other brands. Overtime, however, one brand might tend to consistently hover around the top of the leader board. No simple poll can be perfect and cover all variables.
Nevertheless, provide your opinion based on your best judgement.
NOTE: The above poll is separate and unrelated to the following count that i did.
Here's what i found in the configuration forum:
6 = Microsoft Security Essentials
5 = Norton
5 = Kaspersky
5 = Comodo
4 = Eset
3 = Avast
1 = Avira
1 = Panda
1 = Vipre
To Arrive at this count of votes, I sorted the posts in the configuration wizzard Forum by most views and tallied up the first two pages to see if there was a clear winner.
I only looked for a brand name in the category called "Real Time Protection".
so it can be said that Microsoft, Norton, Kaspersky and Comodo are the most popular Real Time Protection softwares among the malwaretips.com community?
Which is best, I don't know but these are most popular among MalwareTips.
