Comparison of Antiviruses

Hello,
When we talk about our computer security we think about antiviruses but we often get confused about which antivirus is better and which is not.This page will help you to deal with this problem we have compared different antiviruses there efficiency there performance and different features they provide.
We have compared the following system performances :-

  • RAM usage
  • Disk Usage
  • CPU usage

We have also compared the actions they take on viruses or infected files :-

  • Time taken during scan process
  • Number of viruses detected
  • Number of viruses deleted

Finally we will calculate the efficiency of antivirus:-

EFFICIENCY = Total viruses deleted / Total viruses taken

System details on which the comparison is done:-

LENOVO Z5070
RAM - 6GB
HDD - 1TB
Processor - CORE i5
Windows 8.1

Viruses compared :-

  • Avast free antivirus
  • Norton 360
  • Quick heal total security
  • Mc Afee total protection
  • Kaspersky PURE 3.0

At first we downloaded the virus pack which contains around 6000 viruses then we performed scanning on them simultaneously.
