There are 10-15 large antivirus brands to choose from and although most seem relatively similar there
are a number of significant differences. The most important are price, usability, performance and
mangement. Since there are several different types of uses, we have divided them into four categories
and listed the best antivirus in each category.
Our top 10 list is based on a number of tests as well as the reviews and ratings by renowned
magasines and websites - links to these can be seen below.
Price is based on the cheapest available version at the cheapest possible online sales channel.
Usability is based on user interface and warnings.
Performance is based on the system-slowdown,detection and protection level including penalties for
false-alerts. Management is based on options for all sorts of configuration.
