Symantec products always have a glorious tradition in the detection and removal of malware. However, the price to enjoy this security is that you must have a relatively terrible configuration PC if you don't want to be crippled by the NIS versions.

However, that has become a thing of the past when the leading security firm launched the latest version of NIS 2009 that has been overhauled so as not to affect the system's capabilities too much. Notably, the advanced "pulse", scanning, and disk space updates feature makes the installation very fast and simple.

The latest version takes up very little system resources, is easy to use, and also has the ability to create a rescue disk for the system.

7. Eset Nod32 | Top 10 antivirus programs Picture 12

The Nod32 takes up very little memory, has almost no impact on system performance, with super-speed scanning that makes this AV ideal for poor gamers with a low PC configuration. Should install more Firewall.

8. AVG Anti-Malware | Top 10 antivirus programs Picture 13

AVG Anti-Malware combines the traditional anti-virus feature with the ability to scan for spyware and adware but takes up less PC resources so it is very popular for users. However, the weakness of this type of AV is still to have the "guard" Firewall comes. Top 10 antivirus programs Picture 14

G Data AntiVirusKit (AVK) 2-layer protection incorporates the best features of the two best AVs, Kapersky and Bit Defender into a simple control system. But don't forget that this is just an AV and you need to add a Firewall to protect it. Top 10 antivirus programs Picture 16

10. F-PROT Antivirus | Top 10 antivirus programs Picture 17

F-PROT Antivirus has a weapon that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in other AVs, which is a scan mode that uses a command line that can be used to create a scan disk in "safe mode". This is a very effective method to deal with stubborn malware. The program does not come with a firewall.
