AntiVirus Software: The Results Speak
Anti Virus software is among the most important components of a secure computer. With all the marketing hype, and recommendations of friends, family and co-workers, how do you know which software is right for you? Can free software compete against the pricey competition?
One method to help cut through some of the marketing nonsense is by comparing results from companies that have their software tested by independent vendors.
For detailed stats, we annually check AV- Comparatives, an independent organization offering systematic testing that checks whether security software, such as PC/Mac-based antivirus products and mobile security solutions, lives up to its promises.
