Best Antivirus 2011-2012 | Top 5 Antivirus Software

If you are running a PC without a working antivirus software, chances are that you are on the verge of getting screwed (or have gotten screwed). If not, then either you use it (your PC) only for typing some documents on Notepad or don’t know what a PC is (at all). Anyway, antivirus software is like the immune system of a PC; compromising on it can be very dangerous. So take a look at some of the best antivirus products of 2011-2012 that will ensure that you’ll carryout your daily tasks in a secure environment and with a peace of mind.

1. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2012

           Bitdefender is, without any doubt, leader of antivirus software industry. Whether it is about protection, usage, or price, Bitdefender emerges out as the champion in every aspect.
The software does a tremendous job when it comes to blocking/removing malwares from your PC as well as protecting it from malicious activities. Many IT Security firms would agree that     Bitdefender is one of the best (if not the best). A few complaints that I’ve heard regarding the software is that it is too heavy; however, multiple sources have claimed that 2012 version has solved this problem.

             Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2012 is a complete security solution against social media threats, viruses, spyware, phishing scams, trogans; in-short, against both offline and online threats. The product also protects you from threats that could reach to you via email or IM conversations. It can even encrypt IM conversations and scans all web, email and internet traffic for any malicious activity. One of the hottest destinations for hackers, now-a-days, to spread malwares is through social networking sites (such as Facebook and Twitter); Bitdefender ensures that you are protected from these kinds of threats as well.

So if you are looking for a complete solution that can save you from every angle, Bitdefender is definitely the best in business.

 2.Kaspersky Antivirus 2012


          Kaspersky Labs was established by Eugene Kaspersky and Natalia Kaspersky in 1997. Since its establishment, Kaspersky has been a dominant player in the antivirus software market.
          Kaspersky Antivirus 2012, like its predecessors, has been a killer product due to its rock-solid security and advanced technology that detects and prevents your machine from new threats. Installing this software will ensure that you are safe from a variety of threats like worms, viruses, trojans, rootkits, and from other malwares.
         Kaspersky Labs are well-renowned due to their flawless system that detects newer threats quite early. This is one of the main reasons why Kaspersky Antivirus 2012 is ahead in the game from its opponents.
          Plenty of IT Security companies have termed Kaspersky as one of the best when it comes to threat detection and prevention. German based AV-Test has acknowledged that the software has 100% success rate at detecting new threats. It was also mentioned that the software gives no false-negative decisions.
        So being a user myself, I must say that Kaspersky provides guaranteed protection. I would recommend that you should invest couple of extra bucks and purchase Kaspersky Internet Security for complete online and offline protection.

3.G Data Antivirus 2012


This one might be unfamiliar to some but it is one of the best antivirus softwares available with an affordable price tag. G Data is in the arena for quite a long time, over 20 years to be exact.

G Data Antivirus 2012 is equipped with antispyware and web protection (along with, of-course, antivirus) so you are protected against both online and offline threats. The antivirus is based on DoubleScan technology which utilizes two virus scanners based on Heuristic and Self-learning Fingerprinting technologies. Though deploying two virus-detection technologies have enhanced the protection level, it has made the scanning process a touch slower.

Quite a number of IT Security firms have praised the software’s excellent security and simple layout. Experienced users as well as novice ones will find the product quite easy to handle. Overall, the software is definitely worth of trying considering the level of protection it gives and the reasonable price tag it wears.

4.F-Secure Antivirus 2012


F-Secure is a huge name in antivirus arena. With its fast and effective service and simple layout, F-Secure is a perfect choice for someone who doesn’t want any hassle when dealing with an antivirus software. The software’s dashboard is quite straightforward and most of the time you don’t have to worry about scanning or updating virus-definitions since the product performs these tasks automatically, in the background.

AV-Tech termed F-Secure as one of the juggernauts of the industry due to its advanced protection technology, easy-to-use layout, and excellent help support. So if you are planning to get an antivirus, F-Secure can be the “one”.

5.Panda Antivirus Pro 2012


        Panda Security SL, formerly known as Panda Software, is a well respected name in antivirus software industry. Many well respected IT Security Firms have termed the performance of Panda as quite exceptional. Whether its German based AV-Test or ICSA, all have testified that Panda is quite capable of protecting your computer from viruses, trojans, worms, spywares, and from other malicious stuff.

Panda Antivirus Pro 2012 comes with its own proprietary firewall to ensure maximum protection. You can disable the firewall, though, if you are content with a third party firewall or are using Windows Firewall. Nevertheless, Panda Antivirus combined with its own firewall can be a deadly combination against malwares.

So if you ask us, Panda is definitely worth your money.
