PC Tools Antivirus	Complex Free Antivirus, which is friendly with Windows XP and old computers.
	Free antivirus, which focuses on protection against viruses from the Internet. Many different functions and modules. Optimized for old versions of Windows.

Not all computers can pull powerful antiviruses - on weak PCs, these antiviruses eat all the resources of the system, and because of this, the computer "slows down". That is why we made a selection of good antiviruses for you even for weak computers. Thanks to them, you can protect your data without braking and without overloading the system. To the old computer does not brake, offer download any light antivirus from the list.

You can only download the program to your computer and install it. Do not forget that after installing a new antivirus you will need to connect to the Internet to update antivirus bases - this will allow you to keep protection up to date.

And finally, I will say: you should not hope for antiviruses for a weak computer - they use far from the entire potential of the system and can miss the virus. Better buy a new laptop or make your computer more powerful to install powerful programs and antivirus.

Many manufacturers of protective equipment are produced free edited by antiviruses that can be completely free to download from the manufacturer's official website and use on their computers.

Most developers include only anti-virus scanners without constant protection, but there are developers who provide a full range of tools to protect your data in their free version.

Safety does not happen little. So consider many manufacturers of protection systems. Including the developers of free antivirus 360 Total Security, which includes as many as 5 engines.

So I got hands to free Comodo Internet Security. This is a set of tools for protecting your computer, which includes firewall, antivirus and proactive protection module. I will not describe all the properties of Comodo Internet Security, because they, in my opinion, are standard and are present in most similar programs. The main difference between this program from the rest in its free and amazing reliability. With proper configuration, the program allows you to secure the computer to the maximum. The other day I revised several comparative tests that were conducted by various companies, and the results of these tests were quite surprised. As an example, I will give the results of one of these tests.

AVG AntiVirus Free is an anti-virus program worldwide, which is available for free home users and which have already enjoyed millions of people around the world.

AVG Anti-Virus Free is easy to use and does not slow down the operation of the operating system (has low system requirements).

Today I will tell you about the next free Antivirus Avira Free Antivirus, who the other day settled on one of my computers. The situation with it is special, since this antivirus is not a simple scanner, it is not necessary to download it every time you need to check the system. This antivirus hangs in memory and does everything alone. Self downloads and installs updates, independently checks the files to which the operating system and various applications are drawn.

Wannacryptor, Wannacryptor, Mass Attack, has led tens of thousands of computers in organizations and public institutions around the world. The malware uses the well-known vulnerability described in the MS17-010 security bulletin and the EternalBlue / DoublePulsar exploit combination, which allow you to attack other vulnerable Windows systems in the same network. As a result, the infection of one computer can lead to compromising the entire corporate network in the organization.

After appearing on the computer by successful vulnerability operation, Wannacry encrypter encrypts all files and documents of specific formats, performing remote commands sent via the SMB protocol and extending to other Windows computers on the network.

You may be too trusting, and therefore did not install the antivirus to your PC, or the license to your antivirus has already ended, or the antivirus installed you do not provide maximum protection, and ... maybe your PC is infected!

Dr.Web Cureit! - Antivirus, which is noticeably different from all programs familiar. This utility does not work constantly, preventing the emergence of a malicious software on the computer. It allows you to cure already infected PC from viruses, Trojan horses, rootkits, etc. This feature Dr.Web Cureit! Determines the scope of application of this product. It can be used periodically to test the reliability of the antivirus installed on the computer, as well as in cases where the infection of PC can be suspected of indirect features. In general, the favor of Dr.Web Cureit! It is difficult to overestimate.

Continuing the popular theme about the free antivirus, I want to mention another development with which I met relatively recently and who has not yet had time to write. In theory, it would be possible to add this information to the original post, but I decided to arrange everything in the form of a separate note. So, today we will discuss the free antivirus from Kaspersky Lab called Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool.

1. Search for malicious support for priority. For the program to cope with it better than the rest of the alternatives (even if they are paid), we have provided it at once with 5 engines. Among them, the cloud 360 cloud, relieving an excessive load from the system, popular in the world of BitDefender and the algorithm for the restoration of affected System Repair.
   Such interaction allows 360 Total Security to quickly find, localize and destroy any threat to your data.
2. Cleaning hard drives and registry from garbage files. Special superstructures allow you to find programs that you have not used for a long time. Powerful free antivirus with one click starts checking discs and registry, after which the system is loaded and works much faster.
3. Another reason to download powerful antivirus free updates. All subsequent versions will be available to our users under the same conditions as Freeware now. This means that, in contrast to the licensed software, which annually requires investments, our

It goes without saying that in our computerized age, the protection of information or entire systems from is extremely necessary. In other words, any computer, in addition to the built-in funds of the system itself, should have at least some little functional antivirus. Let's try to consider the easiest antiviruses and, according to the results of the test, we define that today is suitable for protection best.

Security - first of all!

As for anti-virus software, now you can find options not dozens, but hundreds. Of course, all of them will not be able to consider, especially since in terms of functionality they are completely unequal to each other.

Therefore, we will dwell on several of the most famous software products. Perhaps comparative results and prompt someone as the easiest antivirus for XP or server version of Windows. Immediately make a reservation that the same "expire", although it remains still very popular and in demand by the system, nevertheless is hopeless. However, and the decision will be proposed for it.

The easiest antiviruses: the main aspects of testing

Of course, not every person who is constantly working with the computer can afford the acquisition of the most modern configuration with a powerful multi-core processor chip, a large amount of RAM, a modern video card, etc. Therefore, let's see what the tests are shown on the easiest antivirus for the computer with Medium configuration. We take 4, 1 GB of RAM and 80 gigabyte hard drive. It seems that it will be just right for testing.

As for the main tests, consider the indicators of several independent laboratories. Among the checks, select the following:

• parallel work with resource-intensive applications;
• threats from unsafe sites;
• copying or moving data on hard disk;
• work in the background.

Kaspersky Internet Security

So, we have one of the most famous antivirus packages of modernity. Many may argue. Why did you need to include the program product "Kaspersky Lab"? The fact is that, in contrast to all other antivirus packages, this program is the least demanding of system resources.

Test results on the above configuration, though not ideal, but looks quite encouraging. This primarily concerns the definition of potential threats when working on the Internet or when installing any software. However, along with this there are clearly pronounced disadvantages. So, for example, the time for loading the system itself is significantly increasing, after its start, a long time has been connected via a Wi-Fi connection, when you download files with the same torrent client, the preservation time on the disk is large enough. This is due to the conference check in real time. By the way, Kaspersky is the only package that takes off this time.

When accessing the hard disk (copying files), a clear slowdown in operation is felt. Not critical, but still there. And when starting the Photoshop package, it is nevertheless, to slow down the system begins not for a joke (the antivirus itself consumes too many RAM). So say that this is the easiest antivirus for a laptop or stationary terminal, the language does not turn. Its, in principle, can be used if not working with heavy applications in parallel. But on protection, it is in leaders, even despite the increased load on system resources.

ESET SMART SECURITY.

Another major player in the Anti-virus software market is the SMART Security package from ESET. At the moment, the eighth version of the program is available.

In principle, the behavior of this application somewhat resembles Kaspersky. The system loading time is enlarged, in addition, the initial check of automatically downloadable components lasts long enough (it is especially noticeable in Windows XP). Protection In general, showed good results even when the "Antigor" function is turned off. When accessing the Winchestera delays is not observed, there are no problems with the speed of access to the Internet, however, when Skype is started, the application load is performed long enough. However, if you look at the monitor of the resources used, it can be noted that the load is not so large, as it could see first. It reaches maximum peaks only at the moments of updating the anti-virus databases and the initial scan. You can also use it, but it is impossible to call it the smallest, although it is the sky and the earth compared to Kaspersky.

Dr. Web Security Space.

Now another one famous package, which is rightfully considered one of the best means of protecting computer systems.

What do the results show? First, when installing the program proposes to establish your own brandmaeer, which is not necessary to do in any case, since it is possible to appear conflicts with native firewall Windows and a significant increase in load on the system. Loading the system is quite fast (if you believe the report, about 60-65 seconds), but in fact, until it stops accessing the hard disk, it takes much more. In parallel with Photoshop, the work is almost impossible, the Wi-Fi network when connecting thinks a little longer than usual, but in the rest of the rest - the indicators are high enough.

Now a spoon is flying. As it turned out, the program sometimes spontaneously activates something like a hidden full check. In this case, the load on the central processor may increase by 50%. However, this is observed only when using standard default settings. If you turn off all unnecessary, you can get high-quality protection.

Avira Antivirus Pro.

Avira produces a fairly good impression. In principle, according to its indicators, the antivirus is somewhere in the middle of the list. The only problem is the launch of resource-intensive applications. With Photoshop, it is not too much expressed too much, but some of the guests with guest (daughter) are refused to work (at least when you first start).

In general, it is impossible to say that this is the easiest nevertheless as a reliable protection can be used (especially for weak machines, someone is unlikely to put a virtual machine). If it is described in briefly, a good good heat duct.

Avast Internet Security

As for this software product, in almost all the indicators, he scored the truth, some errors are noticed when determining potential threats.

But when starting photoshop or access to the Winchestera, the load monitoring system showed an unprecedented result. For example, the consumption of RAM in the active mode is only 80-100 MB! The only minus is excessive conversation of the program. Yes Yes! It is talkative, because in the default settings, the voice alert mode is enabled. However, it will not be disconnected.

Microsoft Security Essentials.

Finally, Microsoft's native brainchild. As testing shows, it also must be submitted to the "Most Antiviruses" list. Since we still have the most common Windows-systems, it is suitable for them almost perfect, because to whom, as not to the creators of this family of operations, to know which holes in the security system they have. In addition, when using this package, the emergence of conflicts in the firewall.

For all other indicators, the result can be called satisfactory, except for excessive load on the system when accessing the Winchester. Sometimes a false response can occur when installing third-party programs, because some of them are trying to make the necessary changes to the system files.

What antivirus is the easiest?

What do the test results say, in which the easiest antiviruses are presented? The best summary indicators demonstrates Avast. First of all, it is a practically no load on the system even when working with heavy programs. The protection system, of course, is not ideal, but here for weak machines or configurations based on Windows XP, it seems, it is ideal. In addition, if we do not take into account the technical aspects, it can be said that Avast is the easiest free antivirus. But most of the programs need to be needed or buying, or to constantly activate when using even conditionally free versions.

On the other hand, today there is not a single program that would meet the high security requirements, and at the same time did not load the system. And, of course, there were no other famous antiviruses like BitDefender and on the basis of it, because the antivirus itself is too voracious, and its modifications like 360 \u200b\u200bSecurity, although they work enough quickly, but do not provide a proper level of protection, and also Completely give out false alarm. However, exactly what to use, this is a purely personal matter.

If there are many unnecessary promotional materials in the browser, files or other incomprehensible things come somewhere on the desktop somewhere, and the antivirus against them is powerless, the utility comes to remove viruses.

Under this concept, a small program is meant, which simply finds and removes viruses and remnants from them.

This is a defective antivirus, such as Dr. Web or Kaspersky, and a small part of them, which only scans the system and removes all malicious programs.

Such utilities do not require installation and, most often, distributed completely free.

Some giants in the field of combating viruses produce such utilities so that users can completely appreciate the entire power of their software.

An example of these is the same Dr. Web and Kaspersky.

At the first "giant" such a utility is called, and the second is.

These two programs are the most promoted in their kind, but not most effective. But apply for free!

In their example, you can consider the main functions and features of utilities to remove viruses.

And then then let's turn to the consideration of those programs that are really effectively working against advertising viruses and other unnecessary programs.

• Several ways: how to clean your computer from viruses absolutely free

№6. Dr.Web Cureit.

№5. Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool

There, by the way, you can download this very utility.

On the forums you can find reviews that Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool does not find most advertising viruses with which the same Dr.Web Cureit is calm.

Some write that it works for a very long time and the computer memory is very much.

Often other programs in parallel with Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is simply impossible to run. Although, all Kaspersky products suffer from this.

In any case, although Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is the brainchild of one of the best antivirus products of modernity, it does not have a quarter of that power, which Kaspersky Anti-Viruses are famous.

Therefore, it is better to use one of the utilities listed below.

№4. Adwcleaner

In any topic on the forums, where we are talking about free utilities to remove viruses, will appear.

And this is not surprising at all, because many choose this particular program as an alternative to promoted and.

Although if you take all the many reviews and posts, it is unlikely to be considered the most powerful one. But ADWCleaner is created, which is called, with a soul and for people.

After the standard and the same, adWcleaner virus removal process shows recommendations as to how to avoid such problems in the future.

As for use, this attending utility is practically no different from the above-mentioned such programs.

The AdwCleaner window is shown in Figure No. 4. All actions are concentrated in the section with the corresponding name (highlighted in the figure).

To start use, click the "Scan" button, after which you wait for the end of the check.

In the "Results" section (Located immediately under the section "Actions") a report on verification will be located.

There you can select all the threats found or some of them and click the "Delete" button.

Of course, the algorithms for checking and removing all such programs are different, but the method of use itself is almost the same.

As for AdWcleaner, judging by the reviews of the people they left on the forums and on social networks, this attending utility works better than Kaspersky products and Dr. Web.

There were cases when the same Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool found nothing, and AdWcleaner found several dozen viruses and easily removed them from the computer.

Number 3. Anti-Malware.

№1. Hitmanpro.

It is possible that HitmanPro will be our today's winner!

At least, the reviews about this utility are so positive that it is quite possible to calculate the HitmanPro most powerful to date.

Yes, the program is paid, but it has a trial period - 30 days. During this time, it is quite possible to completely clean the system from all kinds of viruses and never remember them again.

The fact that HitmanPro removes not only already existing viruses, and the remains of remote programs and the so-called tails of viruses, already says a lot.

At the same time, the developers of Hitmanpro did not repeat the mistakes of the people who created Anti-Malware.

They did not decide to sacrifice the main function, that is, the removal of viruses, for the sake of a beautiful design and a wide range of additional functions.

About HitmanPro can be said that it is really powerful! In the tests conducted by various sites, it is this utility that has shown itself best.

What other similar programs did not pay attention to, Hitmanpro discovered very quickly and immediately reported their existence.

By the way, if we talk about speed, this is another indisputable advantage of HitmanPro.

Thus, such main advantages of HitManPro can be distinguished:

• The speed of work (according to this parameter HitmanPro is clearly better than all of their today's competitors);
• Qualitative removal of viruses;
• Quality detection of viruses and even their residues.

And the disadvantages of this utility are:

• Paid license (there is a trial period for 30 days);
• Minimum features.

In principle, the choice between good removal of viruses and the beautiful interface is quite obvious.

Therefore, HitManPro is the best utility designed to remove viruses and the winner of our today's competition.

Although very few people know about this program.

If the trial period has expired, but there is no license to buy opportunities, Spybot Search & Destroy, Anti-Malware or such a popular adwcleaner with viruses are well able to cope with viruses.

But Hitmanpro is still better!

More information about HitManPro can be found from the video below.
