Gone are the days when you could use your PC without an antivirus application. Now, leaving your PC without an antivirus is equal to leaving your house without doors. Even, choosing an antivirus application is not an easy task. Not all antivirus applications are created equal. Some have very catchy interface while the others have a simplistic one. Some have firewalls built-in while others do not. Although, user interface matters, the most important thing in an antivirus is its detection rate and the security it provides against new threats. Following is a list of antivirus applications with the best detection rate.
Kaspersky Lab
