Best Anti Virus

Comodo is the best I've used and I've tried quite a few over the years. Just keep it up to date and do a weekly scan and you'll be grand.

comodo firewal+antivirus is not a bad combo.they are using slightly different approach,where user making the final decisions. imo worth to try. at least-if you don't like it-it won't ruin your PC during uninstall process. separate PC for browsing only + solid antivirus sitting on separate router is the way to go. at off course something like acronis for regular back ups

although i've said this before, it can't be repeated often enough:

MSE + firefox (or chrome) + adblock + noscript = elimination of 99.9 repeating% of problems.

remember the PICNIC acronym - problem in chair not in computer

seriously there are enough expenses in trading - you shouldn't pay for AV when MSE plus the other ones listed above are just as good.

and don't even get me started on norton.

Thank you Volente,

I also only download software from cnet. I was referring to a website which you can upload a file to be scanned online and it uses multiple security programs.

At the time of my post, I recalled using one in the past which was recommended by an individual I trusted, but had forgotten the name of the site. Was hoping one of the trusted ET tech guru's may have been able to make a recommendation.

Didn't receive any response, and after some minor googling found two sites which appeared safe

http://www.virscan.org/
https://www.virustotal.com/

McAfee siteadvisor stated they were tested.

Google acquired Virustotal, so feel confident in using it

Just an update to my inquiry in the event someone else was also interested
