Antivirus Terbaik Tahun 2010 Versi TopTenREVIEWS

Antivirus ini mungkin jarang kita dengar di negeri kita, tetapi berdasarkan test diatas, menduduki peringkat tertinggi dalam mendeteksi virus. Tetapi hal ini harus dibayar dengan kesalahan mendeteksi yang dihasilkan. Di kuarter pertama tahun 2010 ini, TopTenREVIEWS sudah mengeluarkan beberapa review untuk Antivirus Terbaik 2010. Di tahun sebelumnya TopTenREVIEWS juga mengeluarkan TOP 10 Antivirus Software, dimana pada tahun lalu posisi teratas di tempati oleh Bitdefender Anti-virus sebagai best antivirus dan disusul oleh Kaspersky Anti-virus. Antivirus Terbaik 2010 ini dinilai dari hasil review para pengguna produk antivirus dan dari kemampuan serta fitur dari masing-masing antivirus tersebut. Seperti kecepatan untuk melakukan scan, capat dalam mengidentifikasi virus dan worms, kemudahan penggunaan, efektivitas, update databases, fitur, kemudahan installasi, help dan support.

Review yang dilakukan oleh TopTenREVIEWS terhadap produk antivirus sangat membantu kita dalam mengambil keputusan untuk memilih produk antivirus yang tepat dalam menjaga komputer kita terhadap serangan Virus, Worm, Spyware dan Trojan.

Yang perlu kita ketahui, semua software antivirus tidaklah sama, ada yang bagus, yang buruk dan sedang. Begitu banyak software antivirus yang berkembang saat ini, tentu kita sebagai pengguna dibuat bingung untuk memilih antivirus yang baik, untuk itu TopTenREVIEWS membantu kita dalam hal ini. Sebenarnya dalam memilih antivirus yang tepat dan baik ada 2 faktor yang menentukan yaitu User-friendliness and Effectiveness.

Dengan Tema "2010 AntiVirus Software Review Product Comparisons" 10 Antivirus terbaik tahun 2010 juga didasarkan pada beberapa point penting yang sudah menjadi aturan mereka dalam melakukan review 10 antivirus terbaik.

Adapun point - point yang digunakan sebagai kriteria dalam penilaian tersebut adalah sebagai berikut:
1. mudah dalam penggunaannya, sbuah software antivirus hendaknya mudah dalam penggunaannya, sehingga orang awan dapat dengan mudah menggunakannya.
2. Efektif dalam mengidentifikasi virus, software Antivirus yang terbaik adalah yang mampu mengindentifikasi file-file/dokumen yang terinfeksi dengan cepat dari awal sampai habis dalam proses scanning.
3. Efektif dalam karantina dan pembersihan file yang terinfeksi, Software antivirus yang baik juga harus mampu membersihkan, menghapus atau mengkarantina file-file yang terinfeksi serta menjaganya dari virus-virus nakal.
4.) Laporan aktivitas, software antivirus sebaiknya mampu memberikan pengetahuan tentang aktivitas scanning secara real-time. Yang pastinya tentang virus itu sendiri.
5.) Fitur-fitur yang baik dalam sebuah antivirus digunakan untuk melakukan settingan agar melakukan proteksi terhadap virus secara penuh.
6.) Kemudahan dalam installasi, ini adalah hal yang sangat penting karena software antivirus sebaiknya sangat cepat dalam melakukan instalasi, membuat mudah utk cepat keluar dari instalasi beralih ke “initial scan” dengan hanya melakukan double-click pada mouse saja.
7.) Layanan Bantuan, terakhir software antivirus yang High-end datang dengan banyaknya “help”, dilengkapi support via email, online chat atau “over the telephone”.

Sudah menjadi kenyataan bahwa virus adalah salah satu bagian yang tak terpisahkan dari ekosistem komputer khususnya yang menggunakan OS Windows. Apalagi di Indonesia, yang notabene pengguna komputernya masih banyak yang awam. Kelemahan pengguna inilah yang dimanfaatkan oleh VXer (Pembuat Virus) khususnya virus lokal untuk menyebarkan virusnya di Indonesia melalui berbagai media penyebaran dan yang terbanyak adalah melalui USB Flashdisk. Tidak hanya virus lokal, virus impor (virus luar negeri) pun tak mau kalah untuk menguasai komputer-komputer Indonesia. Mungkin dari data terakhir, penyebaran virus impor di Indonesia telah mengalahkan virus lokal. Bukan karena virus impor mempunyai kuantitas yang lebih besar daripada virus lokal, tapi karena kualitas virus impor memang harus diakui jauh lebih canggih dibandingkan virus-virus lokal buatan VXer Indonesia.

Berikut di bawah ini adalah kumpulan antivirus terampuh dan terbaik, baik antivirus lokal ataupun antivirus impor.

Free Email Protection

GFI Email Security Test

Due to the unsafe design of some email programs, email viruses now are able to infect computer systems just by email. Once infected, a computer system can spread the virus further by sending malicious emails to other systems without any human interference. Well designed email programs do not display these vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, commercial success is not related to good design...
Virus scanners (please see above) can offer good protection against email viruses by scanning each incoming mail, but will never protect against 100% of all attacks, since it is impossible to know and detect each and every possible type of virus.
Therefore, even when you have a real-time virus scanner, it is wise to get some information on the vulnerabilities and strengths of your email program. The GFI site tests your email program by sending you number of emails that probe your mail system.

How not to get an email virus

Prevention is the best cure when approaching the hazards of email viruses. This article, written by Dhugael McLean, explains how to best handle a variety of email attachments, and which file types you should never open when they are sent to you by email.

Some Outlook and Outlook express versions are very vulnerable to virus attacks through email. Several versions of Outlook and Outlook Express can execute malicious scripts or programs hidden inside emails sent to you without warning.
These sites offer non-free Outlook protection software:
ScanMail
Slipstick systems
NemX

SpamDel

This very useful freeware program enables you to delete virus emails and spams directly on the mail server before download. This not only saves costs and time, but also reduces the risk of virus infection.

 

 

Free Anti-Rootkit Software

A rootkit is a set of utilities which can run hidden on a computer system, often with the intention of providing secret access to (and control over) the computer's operating system.
