1. TOP 10 ANTIVIRUS 2017
Presented By
Mohsin Ali Dahar

2. 1. Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition
Given a new lease of life, with fast virus-busting and a clean interface
As if, in our previous roundup, the folks at BitDefender heard us moaning about the fact
that its free product hadn't had its engine updated since 2013, along comes a brand
version at last.
 Key features
 Fast scanning
 Excellent virus detection
 Phishing protection
 Behavioral analysis
 Automatic scanning

4. 2. Avast Free Antivirus
A much-improved free antivirus suite, bolstered by a new, expanded userbase
Avast and AVG haven't yet fully merged, despite the former formally acquiring the latter in
mid-2016. The newly combined company says the two free antivirus products will remain
separate, although there's apparently a joint AV package on the way soon. Obviously,
Avast now has a lot more data to work with, having expanded its effective userbase (and,
therefore, its threat detection network) to a whopping 400 million users.
 KEY FEATURES
 Excellent virus detection
 Gaming mode
 Password manager
 Malware scanner

5. System Requirements for Avast Antivirus 2017 on PC or laptop
 Operating system Microsoft Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7 SP1 or higher / Vista / XP SP2 or
higher (any Edition, 32-bit or 64-bit)
 Processor Intel Pentium 4 / AMD Athlon 64 or above
 256 MB RAM memory or above
 1.5 GB of free hard disk space
 Please note that Avast antivirus 2016 (version 11) won’t work on Microsoft Windows 95 /
98 / ME / 2000 / Server, or any other operating system which isn’t specified above
 These system requirements are relevant for all Avast core products (Free Antivirus, Pro
Antivirus, Internet Security, and Premier)

6. 3. Sophos Home
 A new entry on our list – but the perfect choice for a home full of PCs
 Marketing itself as "business-grade security", Sophos Home does a little more than most
free antivirus software, and actually seems better suited to families.
 You get standard antivirus and anti-malware protection, along with browser tools like anti-
phishing and, most importantly, content control. Combined with central management of
to 10 PCs, this means you can effectively lock down your kids' browsing options.
KEY FEATURES
 Good virus detection
 Phishing protection
 Parental controls
 Protects up to 10 PCs

8. 4. Avira Free Antivirus
 Great antivirus, but a little noisy for our liking
 Avira Free Antivirus continues to score highly on AV-TEST's stringent testing program,
quashing 99.7% of tested threats, and it generally doesn't put too big a burden on your
hardware.
 It has a clean, friendly interface, and throws up minimal false positives. The introduction of
free security suite to optionally run alongside it – with ransomware and phishing
a 500MB/month VPN and various speedup promises – just sweetens the deal. This is one
the best free antivirus packages of 2017.
KEY FEATURES
 Excellent virus detection
 Phishing protection
 Built-in VPN
 System optimization tools

10.  5. AVG Antivirus Free
 Free, nice looking antivirus, but lacking in a couple of areas
 There's a growing trend amongst some online pundits to label antivirus apps like AVG –
indeed, AVG specifically – as 'crapware'. We don't subscribe to that definition; if that term is
supposed to mean that these apps are ineffective or pointless, it's simply not true.
 KEY FEATURES
 Good virus detection
 Phishing protection
 System optimization tools
 Malware scanner

11. Minimum system requirements for AVG:
 Processor: Intel Pentium 1.5 GHz or faster
 Memory: 512 MB of RAM (Windows XP) / 1024 MB of RAM (Windows Vista, Windows 7,

 Processor: Intel Pentium 1.8 GHz or faster
 Memory: 1024 MB of RAM
 Hard disk free space (for installation): AVG Internet Security: 1600 MB

12. 6. Panda Free Antivirus
 Feature-rich PC security, but not as lightweight as it promises
 The eternal battle against popups doesn't exactly start well, with Panda's site throwing a huge banner up
shouting about a discount on the full version before you're even allowed to download the free one.
KEY FEATURES
 Cloud-based scanning
 Gaming mode
 USB immunization
 Bootable rescuekit
Requirements
 Hard Disk: 200 MB free space.

 Windows 8, Windows 7 (32 and 64-bit),
 Windows Vista (32 and 64-bit), Windows XP (32 and 64-bit) and Windows 2000 Professional SP4..

13.  7. 360 Total Security
 Antivirus overloaded with features, with a potential sting in the tail
 The specter of developer Qihoo's VW-esque cheating of AV tests seems to be lifting a little
these days, and it's hard not to recommend it when you consider exactly what it's offering
up for free: AV protection from several concurrent engines (BitDefender, Avira, and Qihoo's
own engines) along with reasonable extras like anti-phishing and a mobile app to help
manage multiple systems.
 KEY FEATURES
 Multiple virus scanners
 Malware scanner
 Phishing protection
 Mobile app

14. System Requirements of 360 Total Security.
 Operating system: Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP (32-bit and 64-bit)
 Memory: 512 Mb
 CPU: 1.6 GHz
 Free disk space: 1 Gb

15. 8. ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus + Firewall
 Licensed antivirus and noisy alerts, tacked on to a solid firewall
 ZoneAlarm's reputation in the firewall world precedes it, and while that particular aspect of
this all-in-one package isn't what we're really concerned with here, it's a solid extra if you
don't trust your router or Windows' built-in firewall.
KEY FEATURES
 Malware scanner
 Personal firewall
 Identity protection
 Online file backups

16. Requirements
 2 GHz or faster processor
 Microsoft® Windows® Vista SP2, 7 SP1, 8, 8.1, 10 (All versions)32 or
64-bit, 2 GB RAM
 1.5GB of available hard-disk space

17. 9. Adaware Antivirus Free
 Rebranded but cut down, with a large amount of advertising on board
 A new name for what was once Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+, to celebrate its company's
rebranding from LavaSoft to Adaware.
KEY FEATURES
 Malware scanner
 Behaviorial analysis
 Download protection

18. Minimum system requirements:
 Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 (Service Pack 1, KB3033929), Microsoft Windows 8,

19. 10. Comodo Free Antivirus
 Free AV that needs a little work before it's ready for widespread use
 Credit to Comodo for updating the look ofComodo Free Antivirus for version 10 (although
older appearance options are still there if you look for them), and for its strong showing
against AV-TEST's zero-day threat assault.
