At least every other year, I undertake a review of the literature and compare several antivirus, anti-malware, internet security software applications and attempt to score them collectively. I then produce a composite score designed to give you the rankings of a group of experts who have reviewed these rather than any single source. The relative score is on a 0-5 scale, with 5 being the highest.
I know many of you have strong feelings and favorites regarding your antivirus and internet security software. That's why we give you this information in this format, rather than tell you you should "use this one over that one."
As always, you should confirm which software conforms to the standards and requirements of the general ledger you are using (for example, QuickBooks Desktop) so you do not have conflicts.
Feel free to share your opinions about your favorite antivirus/internet-security software—along with your experiences—by posting them in the comments to this article. But please, keep them "PG," or they will not get published.
