5 Best antivirus Software For Windows 8 Computers

1.) Bitdefender Anti-virus (Free and Paid anti-virus Software)

 

Bitdefender is an awesome anti-virus software that’s proven to be reliable. It has a free version and for added security, there’s a paid version. Actually, I’m adding it to the first on the list because  it has no impact on your PC performance, it only scans when it knows the computer is idle.

Another great thing  about Bitdefender is the free version that works quite great. Despite the fact that it is a freeware,there’s absolutely no ads or commercial links as in other antivirus freewares.

2.) Microsoft Security Essential (Free anti-virus software)

Microsoft Security Essential is a free anti-virus software and one of the most used anti-virus software for Windows operating system which is been designed by Microsoft.

Most people use this anti-virus software because of the way it detects virus and spywares. It is an anti-virus software that is able to adapt to many features. It is also an anti-virus software that works on computers with minimal specifications.

You might have heard it from your friends that it’s been overrated but actually, it isn’t. The features on it are really great even though it’s totally free.

3.) AVG Anti-virus (Free and paid Anti-virus Software) 

AVG is another awesome anti-virus software that is available on both free and paid anti-virus list. Its performance is almost the same as that of Bitdefender; it scans the computer when it sees that you’re not working on it.

It paid version has some added security features that protects you online.

 Kaspersky is known to be the famous anti-virus software for windows 8. It is also known to be the most genuine anti-virus software. It maintains a standard comparism to other anti-virus software’s.

Norton is a full paid and partially free antivirus software because it gives only a month free user opportunity.

Norton which we all might know because it comes bundles with some new computers is reputed to be the best anti-virus software by Symantec. Norton has a very good ability in detecting viruses; one awesome thing about this anti-virus software is that it waits for every computer users to complete their duties before it starts scanning the computer.

Although this anti-virus software is not a free anti-virus software (freeware), it offers a month free trial for every first-time user, this is why I said it is a fully paid and partially free anti-virus software.
