Antivirus Product Comparison: A Real-World 'Does It Work' Test

Overview After an extensive internal test of nearly every antivirus product on the market for higher education, the author concluded that NOD32 is the best antivirus product on the market. Kaspkersky is the second choice. Both are top notch. In the testing, NOD32 excelled in speed and low use of resources, while Kaspersky did a better job with archives but detected fewer overall. It is worth noting that NOD32 has US support. A real person answers the phone and the company offers close to 24/7 email support, where Kaspersky has no support in the US. They do, however, have a US reseller. Bit defender and Panda were next in line. However, Panda was one of the most resource intensive products tested.
