[Sunshine-boy]

Hello everyone
please suggest an antivirus which provides the best real-time protection
If you vote please also add a reaction under here as of why

Free for users: 360 TSE with BD engine active (Optionally Avast Free with custom setup with Minimal Protection)
Free for business: Windows Defender (not like there are other choices, Comodo AV is not even worth mentioning)

Paid for users: Bitdefender or Kaspersky (both are light and effective)
Paid for business: ESET (zero false positives with good heuristics)

Special note: Windows Defender is the best choice for careless setup, like for my mom or for customers.

Used A2 some years ago but I am a recent convert to Emsisoft: I really like lack of add-ons such as cleaners, system monitors etc. Why I never tried Emsisoft over the past few months I'm not sure as I tried most. Will probably stick with Emsisoft for the foreseeable future on all 3 of my PC's that are owned by me - Great product IMHO.

I use Bitdefender Total Security+Malwarebytes 3.1.2. it works perfectly

Bitdefender is a pretty good choice in my opinion.

None of the above are "Best", they all have their good and bad days, and the protection level they will provide depends greatly on the user that is using them.

I use Dr.Web Security Space and SpyShelter Premium. It's works Perfectly!

You could base this too on the "scope" of the protection, and if you do EmsiSoft would ba a leader for sure, but posters here that say "there is no best" are correct, it is up to the individual to decide that based on their tastes and preferences, all of the ones listed are a good starting point for the OP.
Good Luck in your search.

I will go for comodo for its flexibility as per user choice

 

[ForgottenSeer 55474]

I am so sorry(double posting)

 

[plurkstar]

I will go for kaspersky total security. However, not on the list. So I will go with the 2nd best which is
Emsisoft

 

[floalma]

For me, 360 TSE with BD engine active, the best one !

Emsisoft/ Kaspersky. Norton's SONAR works very well in lastest versions.

A German security expert, Mike Kuketz, posted a nice blog post today.

AntiVirus Scanner: More risk than protection? Snakeoil part 1

Antiviren-Scanner: Mehr Risiko als Schutz? – Snakeoil Teil1 • Kuketz IT-Security Blog

Well, post is in German, but you know how to help yourself

Now there is part 2 and 3 of the series available:

My sequence would be like this:

Real time Set zero-day: Norton >> Bitdefender >> Eset
Heurístic: Kaspersky >> Avast >> Avira
PUP: Emsisoft >> Zemana >> Malwarebytes
Cloud: Panda

 

[low L!fe]

I voted to Norton Internet Security

 

[Arin]

Kaspersky,Norton,Bitdefender all are good

 

[low L!fe]

I recommended you McAfee Endpoint Security

 

[amico81]

I recommended you McAfee Endpoint Security

very expensive or i'm wrong?

Personally, I wouldn't say that Dr. Web has the best Behaviour Blocker, but by far the best signatures. The signatures are very light and block a lot. A signature can cover the whole type of malware. If you set the Behaviour Blocker to the highest level, you will achieve a anti-exe software. And nothing is better than a enti-exe! Defender is not a bad choice either!

 

[TheErzengel]

I think Emsisoft and Kaspersky
