**2015 Anti-Virus Program Suggestion

In 2014/2015, the malwares become more sophisticated ever and your PC/Laptop/Tablet/Cell devices become more vulnerable.

For a PC user, which method is the better way to protect your computer?
Some suggestions:
1. Change to Mac laptop (somewhat better OS vs. Win7/8, XP is not supported by Microsoft after 2014...)
2. Buy a anti-virus software and try not using the free scanning software?
(1) Some users use MS "security essential" only - Not enough, think twice
Security essential - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...tials-download

(2) At least you should try to add "Malwarebytes" or "Search and Destroy" ...
Malwarebytes - https://www.malwarebytes.org
Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org

(3) If you are an impatient user, use "webroot" -takes less time to scan, yet ok enough for most security/protection.
(4) Most popular softwares you can try: (per my preference order - each one has its own unique features; not 100% protection, you get the idea...)
webroot - http://www.webroot.com - fast, yet powerful enough
ESET - http://www.eset.com - technically powerful
Avira - http://www.avira.com - learn the configuration, powerful
Avast - http://www.avast.com - learn the configuration, powerful
Kaspersky - http://kasperskey.com - long-term security specialist/expert behind the support
Bitdefender - http://bitdefender.com - detail-oriented, saves your IE browser user
McAfee - http://mcafee.com - long-term security specialist/expert behind the support
Norton - http://norton.com - long-term security specialist/expert behind the support
Panda - http://www.pandasecurity.com - learn the configuration and watch the results
Vipre - http://www.vipreantivirus.com - not tested yet (TBD)
AVG -http://www.avg.com - if you are not an IT savvy user, avoid using the "free" version
