The Undisputed Champ

Panda Antivirus Platinum 6.23 emerged the victor in our virus catching and killing tests. It caught every virus in both our known-virus and heuristics tests, and it posted no false positives. While it was not the fastest, its scan time was still tolerably brief. Panda is also very easy to use, despite our minor annoyance with the registration process. At $60 for the boxed product ($30 for a download) Panda is a bit more expensive than some competitors, but this stellar performer is worth the price.
