Before the official release of Win8, many anti-virus software can not be compatible with Win8, some can not even be installed, many users are worried about the security of their own computers — — Of course, these concerns are unnecessary, because like I am on As described in an article, Win8 comes with a nice Windows Defender. With the official release of Win8, each anti-virus software is updated with the version and is perfectly compatible with Win8. Today, through comparison, I will introduce you to several free anti-virus software that can run perfectly in Win8, and compare the Windows Defender that comes with Win8, giving you more choices.
First, the software introduction:
avast! is an excellent anti-virus software from the Czech Republic, has been for decades, its free version of anti-virus software with its excellent performance has occupied the global free kill soft list for many years. The top few, more than 170 million users have chosen avast!
AVG is also from the Czech Republic, the company was founded in 1992, the world's top anti-virus software ranked third in 2007, is a household anti-virus software in Europe and America.
The name of the red umbrella is called Avira. Because the icon is a red umbrella, it has the nickname of a red umbrella. The home of Xiaohong Umbrella in Germany has always been the first choice for many users with its high killing rate.
Bitdefender has a high reputation in China, and it ranks first in the online soft list. Although it may not be true, it is enough to see the strength of Bitdefender. Nowadays, many excellent killers use the BD engine.
Second, the software interface:
avast! UI is very intuitive, each item is clearly written on the left, the user wants to perform related operations, you can easily find the relevant options.
But the first time you use avast!, you need to perform a simple registration. After registration, you can get a one-year use period. It should be noted that after registration is successful, remember to choose to continue using the basic protection, do not choose to try the network security software, because the trial period is only 20 days.
When I first saw AVG, did I feel like Windows UI on Win8? The new UI makes all operations clear at a glance, which can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of the operation. After the AVG installation is complete, remember to update the latest virus database before using it for the first time. If you don't like the most recent product trial bachelor, you can click the hidden button in the lower right corner to hide the notification.
When you first saw the interface of the red umbrella, did you feel that the interface of the software was very simple, just like the feeling of returning to the decade ago? In fact, these are in line with the German style. : Simple, practical, not flashy, the software is quite powerful! Of course, due to the free version, Internet protection and child protection are not available, and the options are gray. It should be noted that the free version of the red umbrella is advertised.
In recent years, as more and more anti-virus software has launched a free version, Bitdefender has finally launched a free version, and perfectly supports Win8. The design of BitDefender is very simple. For some users who are not familiar with using the computer, BitDefender's almost zero configuration is very convenient, because it has only two main switches "Virus Shield", "Virus Shield", "Auto Scan" (Auto Scan) and a login button And there are no ads. The first time you use Bitdefender, you need to register an account, otherwise you can only try it for 30 days.
Therefore, a high killing rate anti-virus software can provide better protection for our system.
The samples used in the test came from the well-known anti-virus software forum Jing Rui community, a total of 114 samples, let's take a look at the performance of these four software.
Avast! When the sample package is decompressed, it will prompt detection of malware and interception, killing the hazard in the shackles, and the final result avast scanned a total of 74 of the 114 samples, still very powerful. .
AVG did not prompt for detection of viruses when the sample package was decompressed, but when scanning the sample package, 95 of 114 samples were detected, only the detection rate of AVG was too high. It is.
Like AVG, the little red umbrella did not report poison when the compression package was decompressed. When scanning, a total of 69 were detected, and the results were not bad.
