The Best Protection
I torture-tested all of these products, challenging them to clean up 13 malware-infested systems and to block malware from attacking a clean system. Interestingly, the most effective antivirus products in my tests were not those that bulked up with added features. Webroot and Ad-Aware Pro offered the best protection overall, especially against rootkits and scareware. Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus 2011 also scored very well in my tests. Ad-Aware Pro joined Webroot to become our shared Editors' Choice for standalone antivirus. For full details on how I test antivirus products see How We Test Anti-malware.
