2015 Antivirus Download For Pc
A type of malware that infects your computer often through malicious downloads or deceptive links. Viruses are designed to spread themselves across files and programs as well as across networks to other devices. Indications that you may have a virus on your computer include slowdowns,
Baidu Antivirus 2013 is light on system resources yet big on protection, fast, and free forever. Up-and-comer Baidu's antivirus solution protects your system with Baidu Antivirus and Cloud Security Engines and Avira Antivirus Engine. Baidu Antivirus can be customized to favor speed or protection, and it runs happily alongside other antivirus programs -- both uncommon traits. Baidu Antivirus 2013 (version 3.6.2) runs in Windows XP to 8.
Baidu Antivirus 2013 impressed us with its speed and depth of coverage. It's a better choice for experienced users due to its options and because its deep scans can return false positives that beginners might overlook. We'll be watching Baidu's antivirus offering with interest!
Avira free security is the latest evolution of the modern antivirus solution. In its basic form, it brings forth one of the best antivirus engines, a VPN, and a lot of other efficient goodies that will have a big impact on protecting your privacy and even ensure that your computer is running as it should."
Google gets its name from the immense number googol. Baidu, the go-to search engine in China, has a different story. Its name comes from a poem that "compares the search for a retreating beauty amid chaotic glamour with the search for one's dream." The free Baidu Antivirus 2015 is definitely attractive, and its antivirus capabilities have improved markedly since the last version, but it's still not a top choice.
Baidu licenses antivirus protection from Avira, but unlike Ashampoo Anti-Virus 2015( at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) it also includes its own antivirus engine. By default, it uses the Avira engine for scanning, but not for real-time protection.
Scanning my clean test system with Baidu took over an hour, more than twice the current average. Conceivably, that could be due to the use of two scanning engines. A repeat scan ran in 40 minutes, still longer than average. By contrast, a second scan using Trend Micro Antivirus+ 2015($34.95 at Trend Micro Small Business)(Opens in a new window) and Comodo Antivirus 8 (both of which avoid re-scanning known safe files) took less than a minute.
For comparision, Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus (2015)(18.99 More than 50% Off Exclusive for PCMag at Webroot)(Opens in a new window) scored a perfect 10 points when tested with my previous malware collection. Of course, the samples were different, but that remains an impressive score.
To balance the static nature of my malware-blocking test, I also check how well each antivirus protects against malicious downloads from newly discovered malware-hosting URLs. Some products block all access to the malicious URLs, and some wipe out malware payloads during download. Most use a combination of the two approaches.
I didn't observe Baidu blocking access to any malware-hosting URLs, but it visibly popped up a notice for every downloaded file, announcing that it was running a scan. I was surprised at how long these scans took. Even for files smaller than 100KB, some scans required several minutes. In fully 64 percent of cases, the scan actively reported the file to be safe. I consider that worse than merely not detecting it as malicious.
McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2015($19.99 at McAfee)(Opens in a new window) remains the champion in this test, with 85 percent protection. Ashampoo, tested simultaneously with Baidu and using the same URLs, managed an impressive 75 percent protection rate.
Mixed-Bag Toolbox The Toolbox page, new in the 2015 edition, offers ten security-related tools, of varying usefulness. I'm not sure why the Malicious Plug-in Cleaner isn't simply rolled into the full malware scan, and I don't think many users will spend the time to create a full translation of Baidu's interface into a new language with the Language Translator tool. The Traffic Firewall simply provides a real-time view of network traffic, for those who can interpret it.
Some Improvement Last year I totally panned Baidu Antivirus. I slammed its behavior-based detection for flagging both good and bad programs, and noted that it actively identified some valid PCMag utilities as malware. It seemed to have no on-access scanning, instead trying to kill malicious processes after they launched. The 2015 edition is definitely an improvement, and some of the new toolbox items are quite handy.
On the other hand, Baidu made no noticeable improvement in protecting against malicious downloads or detecting phishing websites. Just because it's better doesn't mean it's actually good. If you're looking for free antivirus protection, our Editors' Choice Panda Free Antivirus 2015 should serve you well.
