Hi All,
I hope you all are fine. I am looking for an anti virus for my PC. I was using free version of Avast for the past one year. It will expire in 3 days. Can anyone please suggest me a good anti virus for my Windows 7 laptop ? I don't mind even if it is paid one. I hope this is the right forum to ask this question . If not please suggest me where to post . Million thanks in advance.
Kindest Regards

I would suggest Kaspersky. It keeps getting top scores in tests in the most renowned IT-magazine in Germany (" c't "). I don't have any anti virus software on my system besides MS Security Essentials but when I'm called by friends to clean their Windows PC I'm installing the free demo of Kaspersky and until now it always got the job done.

Thank you so much.Yeah some of my friends also used it. Some friends are suggesting BitDefender too. Have you ever used BitDefender?

No, sorry, I have no experience with BitDefender. All I can tell you is that in the most recent test in the c't-Magazine (which was comparing the efficiency of protection against trojans specifically) it was in the middle of the pack.

Continuing from where manchanx left, Kaspersky it is.
Available in India for about Rs. 1000 for a 3 PC 1 year license (for online purchase). Real protection, affordable price. Have been using it since about 2010, renewing it year on year.

so for three license , just 1000 INR? . Then it is cool.

Kaspersky is the best company: since decades they have only top positions at various tests and also good performance. Or Bitdefender, but Avast is also Ok. But never ever Norton, or the crappy Microsoft solutions.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Simply request a new license. There'll be a button to do so if you click on the popup. Avast is available for free, but you will have to renew the license each year. Takes about five minutes time.

Thank you. But Avast is not a good one. Not worth to buy. That is why I am looking for an another one.

there's still a free option when you renew... at least there has been for the last 8 years or so...

What about Mcafee?
Is there a solution for both pc and mac?

You mean in Avast?

yes. Avast is still free. It makes you renew the "free"-ness each year with your email address.
But it's still free. The free download button is usually grey as opposed to green.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Since I ordered Kaspereskey, I am going to use it for a while. If that is not good, I will check with your option

I second Richard's suggestion of MSE and would add running Malwarebytes(the free version) once a week for peace of mind.

Thank you. I have one doubt. My windows is not genuine. Is that a problem for that?
