The best antivirus is Antivir, F-Secure, Symantec and Trend Micro.
Antivir, Symantec and Trend Micro has good virus signature, basic need
for antivurs program, than F-Secure.
F-Secure programmer consider they do not need strong database as it's
behavioral analysis system is stronger than other.
Behavioral analysis is the only protection aganist Zero-day virus.
Although overall rating of symantec is good, they delay in relasing
their update when new virus comeout.
Second best antivirus is BitDefender, Kaspersky, Nod32 and Sophos.
BitDefender and Kaspersky give more false alarm. But they have good
signature of virus. These four program release their update frequently.

protect aganist 0 (zero) day virus.
