When it comes to antivirus software, not all solutions are created equal (though to be fair, we can stand behind a recommendation for any of the Top 10 antivirus programs). While they all (in general) offer a high level of security, some have additional features that not only improve security, but also add convenience.
We’d like to present a few pseudo-awards to the following products for their continued innovation/quality/overall excellence:
Best Price: BitDefender isn’t just our top pick, but they also have the lowest price. Furthermore, for families with multiple PCs to protect, the multi-user license isn’t much more expensive at all.
Most Improved: Symantec hasn’t just recognized their slowdown issues, they’ve completely turned the weakness into a strength. Norton 2010 is one of the quickest, most resource-efficient, and overall fastest antivirus software.
Favorite Newcomers: We’d like to apologize for not adding them sooner, and extend a special welcome to Avira AntiVir and ZoneAlarm Antivirus, our newest reviews (and overall great products).
Best Antivirus for Geeks: Kaspersky is easy enough to use for anyone, but has some advanced features and overall professionalism that the tech-savvy are sure to appreciate.
Best Antivirus for Gamers: Our top picks all have an integrated silent gamer mode, but BitDefender takes the cake (though apparently the cake is some sort of a lie?) for offering a tailored interface specifically designed for the computer gamer profile. Though as to avoid angering any avid MMORPG players, we also would like to send a nod to ESET.
Most Likely To Succeed: YOU! (yeah, we know it’s lame, but) with the right antivirus software working unobtrusively (behind the scenes, if you will) on your computer or laptop, it keeps you protected online and off, whether from everyday threats or a life-changing catastrophe. With the right antivirus software, everything else you do on your computer is better.
