The best antivirus of 2013

In this ranking or review, I will try to present my point of view on which antivirus is the best to use this year and why, based on which parameters I draw my conclusions. Update: Best free antivirus 2020, Best antivirus for Windows 10.

First of all, I would like to point out that the best antivirus will be chosen from among the paid antiviruses: I will discuss the 2013 antiviruses that you can for free in one of the following articles.

9 ways to check if your computer is infected online

Kaspersky antivirus - best antivirus 2013

Despite the fact that Kaspersky antivirus is on everyone's lips, many s, even those who are going to buy antivirus, try to find another antivirus solution and, in my opinion, to no avail.

Let's see why (first the facts in favor of the purchase, then let's talk about the features):

• The price of Kaspersky antivirus is the same as other antivirus programs: a one-year license of Kaspersky Internet Security for two PCs will cost you 1600 rubles, the same amount that other PC manufacturers ask for.
• Kaspersky antivirus is an internationally recognized product for protection against computer viruses - take any foreign classification of antivirus software and on one of the first lines you will see this antivirus, and you will never find Russian products like Dr. Web there.

And now more about the benefits of Kaspersky antivirus:

• Easy and convenient installation, even for a novice , even on a virus-infected computer.
• Dedicated scanning capabilities for effective virus treatment.
• Ability to quickly identify and eliminate new viruses.
• Protection against phishing and exploits.
• System recovery disc when Windows cannot start.
• Unlike some old versions of antivirus, it hardly slows down the system.
• Full compatibility with Windows 8 and integration into operating system security, ELAM (more information on this in the article on Windows 8 security).

If we do not talk about advertising features of the product, but to use simple words, I can say that Kaspersky antivirus really protects your computer from everything that can happen to it due to malicious programs and rightly takes the first place in the ranking of the best antivirus in 2013.

You can a trial version of Kaspersky antivirus for free on the official website http://www.kaspersky.ru/kav-trial

The best antivirus according to foreign publications - Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013

Almost all the best antivirus reviews that can be found on foreign online publication websites rate Bitdefender Antivirus Plus as the best, or at least one of the best antivirus of the current year. It is difficult for me to judge because I have not installed this antivirus software, but I will try to collect all the advantages and look for the disadvantages in other people's experiences of using it.

Thus, judging from the information available, Bitdefender antivirus is a leader in ing the antivirus tests of various independent tests, including tests for viruses and Trojans when using the default settings, detection of new viruses, ability to cure viruses and restore an infected system, compatibility with operating systems. The antivirus gets the highest score of 17 in all these tests (see the table above). By the way, keep in mind that only one other antivirus - Kaspersky Antivirus - scored the same number of points, which is another good reason to rate it as the best antivirus of 2013 for Russian s.

You can a free trial version of Bitdefender antivirus from the official Bitdefender.com site (or Bitdefender.ru, but at the time of writing the site is down).

Other good antivirus.

Naturally, the list is not limited to the antiviruses described above, there are several other worthy antivirus products, we will talk about them as well.

Norton Antivirus 2013.

This antivirus product is also one of the highest quality antivirus on the market, which is unfortunately not popular enough in Russia. However, it sures in all parameters one of the most popular antivirus in our country, ESET NOD32. Therefore, if you decided to buy an antivirus in 2013, but for some reason it does not fit the above options, I recommend taking a closer look at this product. According to tests, it detects 100% of rootkits and cures 89% of viruses, which is pretty good.

F-Secure Antivirus 2013.

From the outset, I will tell you that you may not have heard of this antivirus, but in this review I point them out not because of the degree of brand recognition but because of the quality of the antivirus protection. Another leader in this regard is the F-Secure antivirus, which also displays the highest level of protection against malware and provides adequate security for your computer. A free 30-day Russian version of the antivirus is available on the product's official website http://www.f-secure.com/ru/web/home_ru/anti-virus.

It should be noted that it will be cheaper to buy F-Secure antivirus than others in the ranking - its price for a computer for a year is 800 rubles.

BulGuard - the cheapest quality antivirus 2013

Another very good and quality antivirus that a lot of people just haven't heard of because the computer repair staff installed the pirated NOD 32 for them. And in vain - BulGuard Antivirus 2012 provides excellent protection against viruses, performs their cure or removal, and does not by programs that, for example, cause the message that Windows is blocked. The price of the licensed Bulguard antivirus is 676 rubles, which makes it probably the cheapest antivirus among high-quality products. Also, the free trial version of Bulguard Antivirus does not last the standard 30 days, but the full 60 days; You can it from the official website http://www.bullguard.ru/.

GData Anti Virus 2013

Another quality option to protect your computer from viruses. This antivirus provides protection against most antivirus threats, it does not slow down the system, it produces an update every hour of the antivirus databases. Also, some disks can be loaded to cure infected systems without allowing Windows to start, which can be useful, for example, to remove banners. The price of the G Data antivirus is 950 rubles for a PC.
