· Avast! Free Antivirus
· Microsoft Security Essentials
What field to test to get objectively result?
· Protection
· Ease of use
· Performance
· Extra features
Antivirus solutions will be given a rating for each category; higher numbers are better.
And the winner is . . . Avast Free Antivirus!
Avast took our top spot for several reasons.
Avast provides the best protection and additionally has a relatively easy to use interface. It also included several extra features, most notably its file recovery database and a light firewall. Microsoft SE comes in a close second — while not as proactive as Avast it has the slickest interface and least amount of free drawbacks.
AVG is exactly after Microsoft as the second most easy-to-use solution with several useful extras including identity theft protection.
Avira takes last place primarily due to its antiquated interface, confusing terminology, and annoying nag screen. Nonetheless, remember that all four products individually received our recommendation since they passed our tests.
