Solved Best Antivirus/PCtuneup software

---

I just recently installed avg antivirus and tuneup and it works very well but I'm interested in the software that will provide the best defense and also the best maintenance to ensure my computer is running well. Just what software or even hardware would secure my computer the best and also keep it running fast

The key on antivirus solution is to look for the AV provider that has good record of updating their definitions. The Free versions work basically the same way. The differentiation normally comes from their source of AV definitions.

If you want the very best, you must go beyond free most of the time, it means you must be willing to pay a price for the AV protection. If you're using this on a mission critical system paying for it is the way to guarantee you'll have it.

ClamAV is a great one that I like. This is an open source project that was began by cisco employees who work supporting Cisco's FirePower which is Cisco's premier firewall and intrusion prevention system.
