Top 10 AntiVirus Software 2010
According to my research, BitDefender AntiVirus stay’s on top among the rest antivirus available on the internet.
BitDefender has known to be the best antivirus software for many years already, although there are known down side upon installing it. Personally, I had used the software back then before I switched to NOD32 by ESET that hold’s #5 from the Top 10 AntiVirus Ranking’s.
The known issue’s I have encountered with BitDefender are: It slow’s down my PC when booting, to top it all it slows down my PC’s performances.
Unlike NOD32, I don’t have any problem with it so far.
