AVG AntiVirus 2015

there are a lot of antivirus programs but little programs we can depend on. AVG antivirus2015 one of this programs
supported by a huge number of users.The latest version have a lot of features that is very important for any antivirus software .

One critical area is AVG's lack of good technical support. Their searchable knowledge-base is extensive, as is their community support, but good luck finding their tech support's phone number.

Even still, AVG Anti-Virus 2015 scored well despite this flaw, mainly because of its very good overall virus protection

Virus & Spyware Protection :
AVG scored well with most antivirus testing labs as it did with ours. Scores were average to high for both real-time antivirus protection and virus removal.

In our own tests AVG had 90% success in blocking known malicious sites. Quite respectable, though other antivirus products scored better.

Also, we saw instances with rootkit and trojan removal where AVG had trouble removing them. Rebooting a PC is not out of the ordinary with some of the particularly nasty threats we use, and AVG was no exception here, though it often required multiple reboots to finish a removal.

So why are we giving AVG Anti-Virus 2015 such a high score in this department? As a basic antivirus software, AVG still outperformed a lot of competitors in this class. If basic antivirus protection is all you want, you can expect AVG to do the job nicely
.
Resource Usage:
AVG's resource usage was impressively low. Memory usage was at a low 22MB on a 2GB memory computer. CPU usage was less than 1% when idle.

During a full PC scan, memory averaged out to approximately 45MB, and about 40% of CPU used. Not bad.

With prior versions, we saw huge resource drains both in memory and CPU. It looks like they've fixed those issues this year.
User Interface:
On the surface, AVG's user interface is clean, modern, and easy to use. Big buttons label each section making it easy to navigate. Inside each section are clear and simple switches that activate or deactivate features.

However, if you need to make more detailed adjustments to any particular feature, the advanced settings can be confusing. The text is small and seemingly jumbled together.

Clicking deeper within the expanding tree, it can be difficult to know what to select or deselect. For an average PC user, it's not ideal.

The good news is the major features that really matter are all pre-selected and enabled automatically, so you may never encounter these things we dislike.

Technical Support:
The technical support AVG offers is arguably its weakest feature. There's a searchable knowledge base with lots of good information, but getting access to full, free support from qualified technicians is invaluable.
At the end:
AVG Anti-Virus 2015 is a solid antivirus software that improves tremendously on prior versions, especially in the area of resource usage.

On top of that, it earned high scores in the majority of areas we test and was easy to use in getting the job done. Were it not for its mediocre tech support options, it may have scored even
higher.

Bottom line: AVG Anti-Virus 2015 is a good option for those needing only basic antivirus software.
AVG continues to deliver essential free antivirus protection with the launch of AVG AntiVirus 2015. It goes beyond simply detecting and removing viruses on your PC by blocking infected links as you browse, checking files before they're downloaded, and helping protect your personal data online and on your PC with enhanced privacy features. With 2015, we've improved our core engine and its accuracy, and included a new cloud-based detection method. And because we know that security is just as important as usability, AntiVirus 2015 features a revamped, easier-to-use design.

We've been hard at work optimizing our core engine to increase its detectionaccuracy. That includes better detection of screen-locker ransomware and improved scanning of all downloadable files to keep you safe from an exponentially expanding pool of threats.

And when a new online threat breaks out and spreads, the key to keeping you protected is the speed with which we can react. Our new Outbreak Detection gives us the tools to act immediately and curtail their spread. With AntiVirus 2015, you don't have to wait until the next virus-definition package is ready to be protected: the moment we know a threat's there, you're covered.

Finally, we believe security should be clean and simple to be effective, and we've put a lot of work in making sure AntiVirus 2015 is intuitive to use. Our new simplified design makes sure you know what needs your attention at a glance. Combined with our free comprehensive online support, you can be sure you're getting our best protection.

Anti-Phishing module prevent the fake websites from identifying your personal information .ESET NOD32 Antivirus extends security to your social media Facebook and twitter accounts by checking for malicious content .

The version this year proved that there are difference between this version and another versions:
1- the excellent technical support .
2- very high scores in our tests and those of independent testing results.
Certified by : ( VB Bulletin , AV Comparatives , Anti-Malware Test Lab, PC Security Labs and AV-Test) the interface of the user is easy to navigate and very clean.

 Setup ESET is very fast and easy only requires a bit of attention . ESET allows the user to enable or disable detection of  unwanted programs .Also allows the user to disable the proxy server or switch from Internet Explorer settings to custom mode. And If you want to update the program ESET allows the user to pick the av's behavioral pattern .If there is sharing between users it protects your  PC configuration with a password . the scanning done as soon as installation done.

Virus and spyware protection :
Spyware, phishing attempts, trojans, viruses, and other garden variety malware were stopped without any problem. Removal of deeply embedded malware on some of our test PCs sometimes required multiple reboots to ultimately fix, but in the end it cleaned up most of the mess, even in these cases. An, the good news is, if you ever have a similar problem after you've installed ESET, they, can help you clean it up for free.
For the best security , there's ESET Smart Security 8 which has a built-in personal firewall, but if basic protection is all you're after, ESET proved its worth this year in virus, spyware, and general malware protection and removal.

Advanced scanning setup for experienced users:
While first-time users may rest assured knowing that ESET's default scan settings are enough to provide PC safety against malware, the experts may open the tool's configuration panel and fiddle with settings for each scan mode. For instance, the real-time guard can be on the lookout for local and network drives, file access, creation and execution, and PC shutdown events.

Settings can be configured when it comes to the scan targets, heuristics, HIPS, gaming mode, boot sectors, runtime packers, cleaning level, file extensions and size, archives, activity logs, startup and PC idle-state scanning, and exclusions, to name just a few.

Resource usage :
ESET's system resource usage was light to average in our tests. When running idle in real-time protection, CPU usage peaked at only 1%. Memory usage was almost identical to its top-of-the-line sibling, ESET Smart Security, with memory use around 4% (about 85MB on our 2GB test PCs.) 

Even during a system scan, ESET's memory usage rarely peaked above the baseline, while CPU usage ranged from 30%-90%, usually hovering around 60% (normal for a full system scan). 

Generally, we were pleased with the low system impact. We experienced no issues with running multiple apps or surfing the web with ESET. 

Technical support : 
If your PC has problems during running you will have a technical support .No hidden charges or service fees.They stand by their product and are willing to offer free support to prove it. A smart idea every company should adopt. 
In the interest of full disclosure, there's one minor footnote: If your PC is infected before you install ESET, there's a $50 removal fee if you need their help. Anytime after that, professional removal help is always free.

Extra layers of security and other safety measures:
ESET NOD32 Antivirus can also clear the application and emails . and prevent the threats that face the user during exploring the websites . In case of big infections ESET allows the users to create a rescue CD to boot Windows and also its possible to watch network activity and file system , investigate threat and spam statistics, schedule tasks, and take multiple PC snapshots to compare file changes.

 The new in this version :
Optimized for improved performance and now comes with Enhanced Exploit Blocker 
A new Smart mode for HIPS - is placed between Automatic and Interactive mode. Ability to identify suspicious activities and malicious processes in the system. 
Enhanced Exploit blocker - Designed to fortify commonly exploited application types such as web browsers, PDF readers, email clients and MS Office components. Exploit blocker now supports Java and helps improve detection and protection from these kind of vulnerabilities. 
Device control - A replacement of Removable media control used in version 5 and 6. This module allows you to scan, block or adjust extended filters/permissions and define a users ability to access and work with a given device. 
Advanced memory scanner - Works in combination with Exploit Blocker to strengthen protection against malware that has been designed to evade detection by anti

malware products through the use of obfuscation and/or encryption.

Improved compatibility in Windows 8/8.1 - ESET SysRescue is now fully functional on Windows 8. Toast notifications are now shown in the Windows 8 environment, notifying you of HIPS detections or file detections that require user interaction or downloads of potentially unwanted applications

At the end : 

Because of ESET's improved scanning, virus removal, real-time virus protection, and free technical support, they've comfortably earned our #2 slot, only narrowly missing out on being their year's Editors' Choice 
ESET has always been very good antivirus software, but there have typically been things in other products we liked better. Not this year. Much of the competition has fallen a few steps back while ESET has moved a few steps forward. All-in-all ESET NOD32 Antivirus 8 is the product that you can own this year.   

VIPER Antivirus 2015.

  the new design is good looking and easy to use, though it can be a bit cramped in some parts. All-in-all though these really are pretty minor things, and they don't affect the software's overall performance.

Virus & Spyware Protection: (96%)
---------------------------------------

There are a lot of difficulties faced by the antivirus software because of the strong threats from viruses that penetrate computers files daily. so the Viper Company updates the new product (VIPER Antivirus 2015) with new  things that the user do not care about are not of interest to the user, but protect from many threats facing the user.VIPER Antivirus detected and blocked the unknown viruses 98% of the test samples we used succeeded in detecting and blocking this viruses .After tests Viper antivirus identified 100% of the common viruses that face our PCs .To remove this viruses just small handful required and then reboot .

the states become very impressive. looking to the other competitors they  don't have the ability to go with that   
Our results lined up with what other independent test labs reported, including:

• VB Bulletin
• WestCoast Labs
• Malware Research Group
• AV-Test
• ICSA
• AV-Comparatives 

Resource Usage:( 94%)

-------------------------

Despite the new interface and significant under-the-hood revisions, VIPRE is still very light on its feet. Our tests showed VIPRE to use nearly 0% CPU in normal day-to-day use of our test PCs. In these tests, we use the test PCs as we do in real life, emailing, web surfing, and using Microsoft Office and other desktop software.

Its memory use is also quite low, with VIPRE itself using just 40mb of RAM and its companion Anti Malware Service uses another 100mb. Since most computers today have at least 2 gigabytes of RAM or more, this is less than 7% of total RAM. Even on a much older computer with 512mb, we expect it'll run just fine.

when we do scanning for the PC viper is very fast and did not slowdown  any of the function of the PC , did not affect the web exploring , open application and use the PCs with no significant system drag .

User Interface: (89%)

-----------------------

On one hand, we like that the overall look of VIPRE has had few changes from one year to the next. It's easy to become familiar with the software without having to hunt for things from one year to the next.

On the other hand, until this year their interface has lagged behind the competition. When other antivirus software companies have incorporated slick, flexible, and hi-tech-looking interfaces, VIPRE has historically looked a bit dated.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Most anyone would rather have antivirus software that stops the bad guys even if it's not as pretty.

Luckily, 2015 has ushered in a new era for VIPRE where it's both attractive and functional.

  it's more modern, the navigation is clearer, and it's more user-friendly. (that's we like ).

  the overall window is too small--and can't be resized--meaning you often need to scroll to get to what you need. ( that's we dislike )

Technical Support: (100%)

-----------------------------

with viper the Technical support is the strongest point but with viper you will not need the Technical support  .

But if you want the technical support you will find that the waiting times will be four or five minutes .if you connect with the technical support you will find that they are always friendly and knowledgeable.

since 2006 Viper antivirus earns the trust of the customers. And This year is no exception.

the technical support will be free if you have any problems concerning the viruses

Extra Features:

                               

Extra Feature:

Social Watch: (94%) 

----------------------

 

  

Because malware can come from anywhere, VIPRE can optionally scan your Facebook timeline for malicious links. VIPRE can either send you a private message on Facebook to warn you or add a comment to the malicious link on your timeline, your choice. 

                                                                   

Extra Feature:

Secure File Eraser: (98%)

-----------------------------

    Securely and completely delete any trace of files from your PC. Right click on the file to permanently delete it. This ensures that no bad guys can sneak in and reconstruct files you thought were deleted. 

                                                               

Extra Feature:

History Cleaner: (96%)

----------------------------

 

  VIPRE will securely erase the history of any program that stores cookies, temp files, or other history files. VIPRE cleverly already has a pre-populated list of programs that it will erase the history of when you're ready, even if you don't have them installed yet (Adobe Acrobat Reader, Chrome, etc). You can manually uncheck things you don't want cleaned, or you can tell VIPRE to only show you programs you already have installed.

And, if you think history cleaners are only for someone who's trying to cover their tracks about what websites they visit, think again. If your computer were infected with spyware or even stolen, wouldn't you rather there be no history of your online banking, bill paying, and other online activities? 

Conclusion - Overall Score: (95%)

------------------------------------

When we test and review antivirus software, we look at the whole package: how strong is its protection? Is it easy to use? Is it light-weight or does it have heavy resource usage? If I get in a bind, is there good technical support?

Considering all these points, VIPRE Antivirus 2015 passes our tests with flying colors. It's not perfect, but no antivirus software is. Will it protect you? Yes. Is there someone to help if you get in trouble? Yes. Is it the best looking interface we've seen this year? Not really, but we can let that slide for an otherwise excellent antivirus software choice. 
If you want to program, speedy, accurate and does not affect the application of computer and technical support forces and detect new viruses just ( VIPER Antivirus 2015).
