[Ashish kumar]

i recently got attacked by the popular microsoft/Dsq folder malware proxy changer to remove it i used zemana and some proxy settings too remove the virus doesn't remove till we don't change proxy settings. so i dont wanna be attacked again so please suggest me a perfect antivirus for my pc i have MSE installed but it seems to be useless and i have Zemana too but Zemana is too light i think so please suggest me a good antivirus!(Windows 7)
thank you!

why list five products specifically if you want an unbiased recommendation for the best antivirus ? two of which you doubt yourself.

like i said i just asked here about the best antivirus for my pc so i've also told you which problem happened in past days and to remove malware by other antivirus you should make sure the normal anti-spyware which cant detect them should be turned off there can be a risk that the antivirus can be a virus too unless its MSE i've just given you my opinion that's sit ! i've just asked abut the best antivirus!

there can be a risk that the antivirus can be a virus too unless its MSE

Norton the #1 is protection

the best antivirus

this is the best av ( got like 24 awards)!
you are 99% secure with this av!

 

[AlanOstaszewski]

First: The best AV is your brain. Try Sophos Home Premium Beta. It is free because it is in beta. It would be perfect for you. It comes with the HitmanPro scan engine and HitmanPro.Alert (good for Ad-Ware and SpyWare). It is a suite that comes with everything. Even with keylogger protection.
Free Antivirus for Home Networks: Secure 10 PCs and Macs Free | Sophos - Create here a account. If you doesn't feel protected with Sophos then we can continue to talk. Try this out!

I like this irony and the type of your humor
(I hope this was humor)

Having a good antivirus (heck the best) doesn't really protects you well if you are not aware of what you are doing. WHat I meant are happy clickers/ etc. kind of users.

May I suggest something better. You can consider getting yourself a under-friendly firewall settings + anti-executable + sandboxing. When these three put up, practically your comp are in pretty much heavy lockdown unless you intentionally unlock it.

your humor

He asked for the best!I gave him the best!he cants make himself to trouble and search the forum.

Free: Avast
Paid: Norton/ Kaspersky

 

[Overlord]

Free: Avast / Q360
Paid: Kaspersky / ESET

 

[ForgottenSeer 55474]

Bitdefender+MBAE then you are secure(I have the same combination on my windows 8.1,works like a charm)

 

[brod56]

It depends on your needs.

For free: Bitdefender(light, simple and nice) or Avast(ultra powerful but has ads and other crapware)
Paid ones: Kaspersky is still the king.

Please avoid Malwarebytes real time protection, as it is very bad against worms.
You can still use an anti-executable like Voodooshield to avoid all types of infections with its permanent VT scanner.

-Free: Comodo Firewall with 360 Total Security or Avast.

-Paid: Kaspersky or Bitdefender.

I'll agree with @brod56 here. Quite a few suggestions made here are regarding the best possible protections, however those should meet the needs and experience of the OP.
For free, Bitdefender free and Avast free are very good and basic AVs available. You can follow this guide to set Avast to maximize protection. For protection against ransomware, you can install Kaspersky Antiransom tool or Appcheck free alongside Avast / Bitdefender free.
For paid, Kaspersky, Bitdefender and Norton are some of the best in protection and price at your place. You don't need anything to add here.

In case you're an experienced user and you want to add an anti-executable (that blocks any executable files from launching, and you can decide whether to run them or not), you can try VoodooShield free. NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro (an older version) is also an option.
An alternative is Comodo Firewall or CIS that provides an auto-sandbox mechanism. Basically, it will run any unknown files (hence including unsafe files) in sandbox isolated from your system. So if the malware is auto-contained, it won't harm your system. A good learning curve and some understanding will be needed when trying Comodo since it may also isolate safe files and cause those apps to fail. That can be adjusted though by trusting the wrongly sandboxed files. If you use Comodo FW, the need of using an AV is highly reduced.
You'll find a lot of discussions about all these apps being discussed on this forum.

huh seriously

I almost said something before. The original post is literally @Ashish kumar's first post on this site. I don't see how it is that you can't understand why it's so moronic to expect him to know everything. Anyway, he wasn't limiting the options by naming 5 programs. Seems more to me like he was just helping explain what he has used before or knows from word of mouth etc. Also, OP's concern that security soft can be malware is rooted in truth. There have been rogue security programs before and anyway how is the OP supposed to know if he's just getting started?

if you have already reached the conclusion that mse is useless why list it in your given choices ?

How was OP's statement that MSE seemed useless to him a conclusion of any kind? What is wrong with your brain man? Looks like he got pwned by malware with MSE on the machine. Then too maybe he thought he was using it wrong somehow and could use it successfully. You are either brain dead or even you know the OP's comment on MSE wasn't a conclusion. Maybe you are brain dead.

Why would you use your time to be this way? I feel like I should apologize to the poster almost. Your first post in this thread was nothing but an attempted flame of someone simply asking for help who just wanted someplace to start. It would cause a bad impression on the site...really bad if it weren't for genuine suggestions from legit members. And you offer NO constructive input. Don't know why you are here honestly.

You may know more than many, but you should go away if this is your attitude. For sure, there hasn't been any value in your posts in this thread. Don't waste our or the OPs time.

@Ashish kumar, have you had a chance to look around? There are alot of ways to go. Comodo has been mentioned. It's very comprehensive. If you want something special for ransomware, keep in mind CheckMal AppCheck A/R free. One of the best A/R's and it's free. Also, it's being actively developed and updated.

One ideal setup...
Comodo Firewall->Proactive mode
Avast free

Some brainless answers are all around the forum. Let's just ignore them and chill out.
Fortunately there are lots of very helpful people here.
