Best Antivirus in 2018

Image result for best antivirus

BitDefender Antivirus Plus

Rock-solid and reliable protection
Accurate
Password manager
Can be resource-hungry
In a world packed with free security software, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2018's annual $39.99 fee may look expensive. Especially as this now only covers you for a single device, down from three last year.
Still, there are compensations. Bitdefender's engine is one of the most accurate and reliable around, for instance, loved by all the big independent testers.
Web filtering blocks access to malicious sites, a secure browser keeps your online financial transactions safe, and there's a password manager which auto-completes credit card details in web forms.
An excellent anti-phishing module alerts you to malicious links in your search engine results, and blocks access to dangerous sites

ESET NOD32 Antivirus

Expert-level antivirus for the more experienced user
View Similar at Amazon Germany
Highly configurable
Device access control
Relatively expensive
Not for beginners
If you judge an antivirus on the length of its feature list, ESET NOD32 Antivirus might be a disappointment. There’s no firewall, password manager, file shredder, vulnerability scanner or any of the bundled extras you'll often find elsewhere.
This doesn't mean the package is short on power, it's just more focused on the antivirus fundamentals. ESET NOD32 Antivirus comes with real-time malware protection, an anti-ransomware layer, exploit protection, URL filtering to block malicious websites, and modules to prevent attacks using PowerShell and malicious scripts.

A Device Control module limits the risk of infection from other devices by controlling access to USB sticks, external hard drives, optical storage media, even devices connecting by Bluetooth and FireWire. It's an unusual extra, but could make a difference if others are regularly plugging devices into your PC.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus isn't aimed at beginners. The interface is clumsy sometimes, some features are very advanced, and even the Help isn't always exactly helpful.
Experienced users will appreciate ESET’s power and configurability, though. Above-average protection does a good job of keeping you safe, and a lightweight design ensures the package won't slow you down

F-Secure Antivirus

Nothing is easier to use
Very user-friendly
Good value
Prone to false positives
If you're tired of the junk that weighs down some antivirus tools, F-Secure Anti-Virus will make a refreshing change. There are no unnecessary extras here, no bonus features you'll never use: you just get straightforward real-time browsing and antivirus protection.

Keeping things simple doesn't mean compromising your safety. The package typically receives maximum marks for protection from AV-Test, and generally scores highly with AV-Comparatives, too. They also say it can generate significantly more false positives than most of the competition, but how that affects you will vary depending on how you use your computer.
The interface is a major plus. It's extremely easy to use, lightweight, and for the most part you can just leave the app alone to look after your PC. The program has minimal effect on your system performance, and if you do need to intervene then you can generally solve any issues in a couple of clicks.
Competitors like Bitdefender and Kaspersky offer better protection and more features, but F-Secure Anti-Virus remains an appealing package: fast, lightweight, and able to run alongside many other security tools without conflict. It's good value, too.

Broadcast

In general, to broadcast information is to transmit it to many receivers. For example, a radio station broadcasts a signal to many listeners, and digital TV subscribers receive a signal that is broadcast by their TV provider. In computer networking, broadcasting is the process of sending data packets to multiple recipients all at once. For instance, a local area network can be configured so that any device on the network can broadcast a message to all the others. When a networked device wants to broadcast, it transmits a data packet to the network's broadcast address . The network hardware, such as routers or switches, does the work of sending the packet to every other device in the group. The group of eligible devices is called a broadcast domain . This type of communication is also called all-to-all , because every device can transmit a message simultaneously to every other device. Broadcast networking is supported by IPv4, the network protocol used by most of toda...

Internet speeds and Wi-Fi have both improved significantly over the last several years. Data speeds are faster across the board and wireless connections are more reliable than ever. However, Wi-Fi isn't without issue. Hang out at a Starbucks long enough and you can experience it firsthand. Slow connection Despite faster speeds reaching most homes around the globe, wireless (and often wired) networks can get bogged down. If your Internet connection is still working but the speeds are slower than normal, there is usually a logical explanation that can usually be fixed. Cause: The most obvious problem with Wi-Fi speeds slowing down is being too far from the router. The further you are from the router, the more unreliable the connection and its throughput will become. Fix: To fix t...
