Today, great threats from Trojan horses, hidden vulnerabilities and worms make anti-virus software a necessity. However, this does not mean that you have to pay for a security suite with features that you may not want or need.
Stand-alone antivirus software mainly intercepts malicious software and has few other functions. For example, you usually don't find (or pay for) parental controls, system settings, firewalls and other functional options. You can configure your own application suite for free, and even use the built-in firewall of Windows, the anti-virus software that comes with the system.
However, first you need to know the specific performance of these security programs. In order to find the answer, PC World, a well-known computer magazine, with the assistance of AV-Test.org, a well-known independent anti-virus laboratory, tested and screened 1 1 anti-virus software in the United States, Europe and Japan. PCWorld tested the detection rate of these products for known and new malware. PCWorld also tested the scanning speed, killing performance and false alarm rate of these anti-virus software. This article will introduce these two antivirus software rankings.
20 10 world antivirus software ranking selected by PCWorld.
1. g- data antivirus 20 10 (Germany)
GData Anti Virus20 10, which uses dual-engine antivirus software from KAV and AntVir, has excellent antivirus ability and enjoys a high reputation abroad, but it is the first time I have heard of it. The biggest advantage of GData is that as long as the virus or Trojan horse is input into the virus database, it will be intercepted before the virus runs, and there will be no disinfection after poisoning. However, although the user interface of gdatantivirus 20 10 is simple, it is still more difficult to understand than other antivirus software. Therefore, gdatantivirus 20 10 may be the most suitable for professional users.
2. Symantec Norton Antivirus Software 20 10 (Norton, USA)
Norton claims to be the only virus protection scheme in the world, and it is also one of the best antivirus software in the world.
3. Kaspersky Lab Antivirus Software 20 10 (Kaspersky, Russia)
I believe everyone is familiar with Kaspersky. Before using MSE, I always used Kaspersky, an excellent anti-virus software from Russia. Because I cooperated with 360 for half a year for free, I quickly occupied a large number of markets, and the later paid version was not expensive. The current three-year edition of 158 yuan is equivalent to a dime a day.
4.BitDefender antivirus software 20 10 (Romania)
Chinese translation Bitfande, referred to as "BD", is an old anti-virus software made in Romania. It has over 4.53 million super virus databases, can be updated in real time, and has anti-virus engine function and Internet filtering technology.
5. Panda Antivirus Expert 20 10 (Panda Guardian, Spain)
Chinese name is panda guardian. It is the most advanced and easy-to-use antivirus software with unique concept and quality, which originated from PandaSoftware, the top antivirus software developer in Europe.
6.f- Safe Antivirus 20 10 (Finland)
F-Secure anti-virus is a powerful real-time virus monitoring and protection system, which supports all WINDOWS platforms. It integrates multiple virus monitoring engines. If one of them is ignored, the other will monitor it.
7.Avira AntiVir Premium (antivir, Germany)
The popular red umbrella is divided into personal version and enterprise version. Personal editions are Avira Antivir Personal-Free, Avira AntiVir Premium and Avira Premium Security Suite.
8. Trend Micro Antivirus Expert and Anti-Spyware 20 10 (Trend Micro, Japan)
Trend Micro Trend Micro provides comprehensive solutions for enterprise information security. Has a complete product line: the first brand of all-round computer antivirus from PC, network server to Internet gateway.
9. ESET NOD32Antivirus 4 (Slovakia)
Nod32 seems to be doing well in China, and it also cooperates with 360.
10.McAfee antivirus plus2010 (coffee, USA)
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise is one of the best-selling antivirus software in the world. In addition to updating the operation interface, it also combines the company's WebScanX function and adds many new functions!
1 1. Alver Vast! 4.8 Professional Edition (Czech Republic)
Excellent anti-virus software comes from Czech Republic.
While defining various anti-virus software to defend the security performance of PC, PCWorld also deeply discusses the user interface of each anti-virus software and its scanning method. GData Antivirus 20 10 ranked first in the PCWorld antivirus software test. GData Antivirus 20 10 is the best in both traditional signature-based testing and active defense testing to detect new malware without complete signature. Ranked second is Symantec's Norton Antivirus 20 10. Although it is not as good as GData in active defense, it does well in malware interception and removal. In addition, the user interface of Norton Antivirus 20 10 is simple and easy for ordinary users to use. The interface of GData is more complicated than other antivirus software, so GData antivirus 20 10 may be the most suitable for professional users. Norton Antivirus 20 10 also provides some practical tools, such as tools that can help users judge whether the download source is reliable or not and whether the installation is safe. Although it is only behind the most acclaimed GData Antivirus 20 10 in PCWorld, Norton is still very suitable for computer users with low security requirements. It is worth mentioning that the prestigious Avira AntiVir Premium 20 10 is excellent in detecting known malware, and its scanning speed is the fastest among 1 1 software, reaching 14.8MB/ s, which only Avast can match. Moreover, the interception rate is as high as 69.2%, ranking second among all tested antivirus software, second only to G-Data, but because AntiVir has no ability to intercept malware immediately (that is, it lacks active defense function), it ranks seventh. As we all know, the active defense function is the last line of defense for the system against new malware that can bypass the signature virus database, but AntiVir said that this function is currently being tested. Experts said that Avira's red umbrella would be a good choice if active defense function can be added, user interface and pop-up window can be optimized. PCWorld believes that anti-virus performance (or effectiveness) is above everything else. After all, if you can't stop malicious software, even the beautiful antivirus software will be worthless. According to the test, PCWorld found that almost all anti-virus software has the ability to completely detect signature malware. When faced with more than 650,000 other virus samples such as Trojan horses and spyware, the virus detection rate of 70% antivirus software is above 99%, and the virus detection rate of non-antivirus software is below 94%. This time, PCWorld's test of the latest antivirus software did not cover the free version of antivirus software, such as Avira AntiVir Personal Edition, Avast! Free version, AVG and Microsoft MSE. Earlier this month, Av-comparatives, an international authoritative anti-virus testing organization, announced that Microsoft's MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) is the only free anti-virus software with Advanced+ certification, and its performance exceeds that of some professional anti-virus software.
Toptenreviews ranks 20 10 as the most cost-effective antivirus software.

I think this evaluation is not very reliable, because free antivirus software has the highest cost performance.
Moreover, the evaluation and ranking of purchase links are always unreliable.
