AntiVirus

Did you ever scream out when your computer hang suddenly because of infected by intruders? What did you do after that? Just take deep breath, kicking your PC, or just praying?

One day, I almost kicked the CPU because when I was in a hurry finishing jobs, the PC suddenly stopped operating. I thought I might be joked by virus programmers. I knew I didn’t update my antivirus, or the new virus was cleverer to destroy my defense.

I feel confused to make a good choice for a good antivirus. There are so many choices. Then, I decided to choose and use these antiviruses for my PC.

1. AVG Free Edition 8.5.287

AVG Free Edition is the well-known anti-virus protection tool. AVG Free is available free-of-charge to home users for the life of the product!

2. avast! Home Edition FREE antivirus software for Windows with anti-spyware protection:

avast! Home Edition is a full-featured antivirus package designed exclusively for non-commercial & home use only. Both of these conditions should be met! The company offers the Home Edition free of charge, since, it is possible to avoid global virus spreading by efficient prevention; however, many users are not able to or do not want to pay for antivirus software. Institutions and organizations (non-commercial including) are not allowed to use avast! Home Edition.

3. Ansav +EA description

Ansav is a free antivirus utility designed to identify, thwart and eliminate computer viruses and other malicious software (malware).

ANSAV, abbreviation from An's AntiVirus, is an application that runs on Windows XP and was made especially to handle various malware like virus, Trojan and Spyware.

This is not a commercial Antivirus, ANSAV was only designed as portable software and can be undertaken without needing the installation, because ANSAV is not resident and only treats.

At this time ANSAV could have detected various newest local virus (Indonesia
Viruses) and several foreign viruses that often circulated in Indonesia, but ANSAV cannot be relied on as personal Antivirus because there are quite a few viruses that could be detected by other Antivirus softwares and were not detected by ANSAV. This was caused by the limitations of the Antivirus database (the virus definition signature).

ANSAV was developed for Indonesian purpose (local support only) although it can detect several foreign viruses, therefore users’ role is to always send the sample of the newest virus that still could not be detected by ANSAV, so that ANSAV would become main weapon to eradicate the virus, especially the local virus.

ANSAV contains the definitions of more than 776 viruses.

What do you think the best AntiVirus in your opinion? Last week I found a good site about AntiVirus Comparison. You can find independent comparatives of Anti-Virus software when you visit http://www.av-comparatives.org/. All products listed in comparatives are already a selection of some very good anti-virus products. In the Comparatives section you can find additional tests and reviews.

The main comparative reports are usually published during the following months. If you plan to buy an Anti-Virus, please visit the vendor's site and evaluate their software by downloading a trial version, as there are also many other features (e.g. firewall, HIPS, behaviorblocker, etc.) and important things (e.g. price, graphical user interface, compatibility, etc.) for an Anti-Virus that you should evaluate by yourself. Even if quite important, the data provided in the test reports on this site are just some aspects that you should consider when buying Anti-Virus software.

Those are all I know about AntiVirus. Although there are many brand names of Antivirus, these are all I know. Whether I choose right choice or not I don’t care. However, I still open my mind to accept any comment and suggestion from all nice friends in this world like you. For virus programmers, don’t stop working and keep innovating. Because, without you this world is so lonely and uninteresting.
