Updated personal opinion:

• Avira 2013 (Used it, its a little bit bloated and not so intelligent) -1
• Avast 9 (Getting better, but a lot of bugs present) 0 | was +1
• AVG 2014 (Improved over years, but still not a worthy competitor) 0 | was -1
• Bitdefender 2013 (Bloated junk making computer unusable) -2
• ESET v7 (Great and light Antivirus, but lacks some options) +1 | was 0
• Kaspersky 2014 (Best security, but somewhat bloated) +2
• Norton 2013 (Not bad antivirus considering the reviews, but haven't had the chance to test it) +1
• Trend Micro 2013 (Haven't tried it yet) 0
• Microsft Security Essential (Good for basic users, but it slows down computer when accessing a lot of executable files) +1 | was -1
• F-Secure (Good antivirus, great features) +1
• Webroot SecureAnywhere 2014 (Insane amount of annoyances down-voted this product for me) +1 | was +3

• Kaspersky 2014 (Best security +10, but somewhat bloated -90 :lol:

My opinion:

Avast: light +5, performance -2, security +3, false alarm -1

Avira: light +4, performance -3, security +3, false alarm -3

Bitdefender: light +3, performance -4, security +5, false alarm -1

Eset: light +4, performance -1, security +3, false alarm -1

Kaspersky: light +2, performance -5, security +5, false alarm -2

Norton: light +3, performance -2, security +4, false alarm -3

* light: less CPU, RAM, HDD

* performance: slow down PC

Well, I think most of you are using ESET as ESET has most votes.

My answer is: None of these Antivirus are the best :) Because your computer's safety depends on how you use your computer, not on what AV you have installed in. If you have a strong AV, but you don't know how to protect yourself from viruses, that AV is useless :)

In some Vietnamese forums, especially in Vn-Zoom, I have seen many people cried and complained because their computers are infected with virus. Most of them blamed their current Antivirus software, but they didn't think about themselves. That's such a bad habit.

Too bad..EAM is not on the poll... :(

[Reyes]

Yeah EAM needs to be in the poll....

[212eta]

If you have a fast CPU and plenty of RAM,

- Kaspersky is what I mostly trust.

- Bitdefender comes 2^nd.

- F-Secure comes 3^rd.

[tsaqofa]

I do not know which is the best antivirus
I only use MSE >> WD in Windows 8

[Ponting]

Eset all the way! :rockon:
