all of the major companies are good. the biggie is the one that works for you, the one that will work on your computer without using resources, the one that is convenient. You can go to 10 different testing sites and every one of them will have different results. not one single anti virus software is 100 percent effective.
without knowing how you use your computer, what computer or the operating system you have, if you practice safe surfin all you really need is mse for win7 and older, malwarebytes and adblock plus. win8 already has mse installed as part of windows defender. The reason I pick mse is, it is free and it is install and forget. just about all of the other free ones require some sort of intervention, including manually updating or scanning. The retail ones tend to have bloatware which will bog down older computers. I have used most of the major antiviruses at one time or another for at least a year. Never had a problem with any of them.
