I have seen many antiviruses already existing in the market, so I have analyzed the best of the best to help you make the right chouce.
- Bitdefender
Bitdefender has been excellent and one of the best antivirus programs over recent years, and it has come up with some new developments this year. It still receives high scores in terms of virus protection from independent testing labs. The interface of Bitdefender antiviruses is very slick and easy to navigate, making it ideal even for less knowledgeable users.

- VIPRE Antivirus 2015
VIPRE Antivirus changed everything in its new version, as it has improved its service and came up with a few new things that we didn’t expect in its previous installments. I’m mainly talking about an overhauled interface. Compared to the previous versions, the technology and tech support with VIPRE continues to be top notch, as these guys will never disappoint you in getting any issues fixed as soon as possible.

- ESET NOD32 Antivirus 2015
I can safely say that ESET NOD32 Antivirus is a very straightforward and simple antivirus, without a lot of things getting in its way. Their previous versions were a little bit disappointing, but the new version corrects some of those past errors, delivering solid protection and a better interface. Another new development with this company is that it now also offers technical support.
As far as the configuration of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 2015 is concerned, it supports Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 versions.
- AVG antivirus 2015
AVG is a name that has been popular in the antivirus industry for a long time. They have a large community of users everywhere because it offers a free version with a lot of features. However, the basic antivirus is often just not enough, so you might end up upgrading to a paid version eventually. The user interface of AVG is very clean and easy to understand and use. The latest versions of AVG antivirus works well, but is by no means flawless.
AVG antivirus it is supported by all the Windows operating systems like Windows XP, Vista 7, 8.1, 8. The tech support of AVG is arguably not that good, but eventually, the solution will be provided to you by their tech guys. But it depends on how much time it takes, so your mileage may vary.
- Norton Security 2015 Antivirus
Norton Security is an old name in this industry and that’s the reason it has got so many customers over the years. (That and the fact that it comes included on many laptops or as part of software packages).
This year however, Norton has put out a pretty compelling product. The antivirus protection here is adequate, but sort of average in most of the areas compared to the previous antiviruses we mentioned. The UI has been reworked, making it more clear, modern and easy to use. Technical support is still confusing as it’s a bit expensive, but it’s better structured and overall, it looks nicer in many ways when compared with other products.
