SD’s #9 Anti-virus - AVG Anti-Virus
AVG Antivirus has been an up and coming virus scanner
for many years. Its free version is one of the most downloaded files on
the Internet in the Computer Security sector. The new interface is clean
and intuitive while still remaining useful.
AVG went through a re-write of their virus scanning
engine and included two of their stand alone products with AVG Antivirus
as well. AVG Antispyware and AVG Antirootkit were both integrated with the
virus scanner. Also revamped is the way AVG Antivirus uses the hardware
within your computer. It has been changed to make better use of the
multiple cores which are common in today's computers. This should speed up
scanning as well as reduce slowdowns.
SD’s #10 Anti-virus - F-Secure Anti-Virus
F-Secure Anti-Virus is a great product that offers many
of the standard functions associated with antivirus software, but also
goes above and beyond the bar set by others with efforts by F-Secure to
educate the people that use F-Secure Anti-Virus on general security
practices as well as specific threats. For business workstation and server
protection, consider the F-Secure Small Business Suite.
F-Secure Anti-Virus comes with the standard protection
you would expect from any modern antivirus suite. Both on-access and
on-demand scanners are included as well as a spyware scanner that runs
with both. An email scanner is also included for those of us using local
email clients like Outlook or Thunderbird.
One feature we especially liked about F-Secure
Anti-Virus was the integrated news on the home menu. The Security News
section is full of useful information about which new security threats are
out and whether you are protected from each threat. With one of the most
thorough antivirus engines available, F-Secure Anti-Virus provides good
protection against viruses, spyware and many other security threats. The
added benefit of the support and education portion of their website adds
to the overall feeling of protection while using this product.
