You guys are right. Sorry about that, I got confused between processors and cores.

XP Home can only support one processor, so 50% of your dual core processor is not accessible. Adding a quad core processor is pointless since 75% will not be accessible. XP Home is not a secure...

Here's a review of SUPERAntiSpyware Free 5 from 2011: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2392877,00.asp

Keep in mind that it's not the date of the review that counts, but the edition being reviewed. Many reviews in 2012 were for 2013 editions; most labs have barely started reviewing 2014 products. I...

Thank goodness you were able to return that computer to Best Buy. The old AMD CPU in it has a speed of 1.3GHz, which is really slow for a dual core processor. I think you would have been disappointed...

I use MSE-4 under Windows XP because Avast in the past year completely locked up Windows XP (Pro, SP3 32-bit) twice. I use the same operating system and had a similar experience. What I discovered...

Your antivirus software includes antispyware, so there's no need to install a separate product. The need for separate antispyware ended years ago. The best thing to do with Spybot is uninstall it,...

As mentioned in the first paragraph, the list is ranked by user scores, which reflect usability, so an easy-to-use product will tend to rank high and a difficult product will rank low.

The polls at matousec tend to reflect their test results, with Comodo ranking high there, too, so it makes sense that their polls rate Comodo high. It’s sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Matousec’s...

It looks like Avira is having trouble with Windows 8, too:

To make the list, a product has to meet two criteria: 1) an adequate sample size of users, and 2) participation in controlled testing with a defined database of malware. Unthreat Free met the first...

I don't use Windows 8, so I can't speak directly to that issue, but of the products listed in the ranking, Avast, AVG, Avira, Comodo, McAfee, Norton, and Panda are certified as compatible with...

Is there any information on tools that seem to be missing from the list? ..... from ESET, Kaspersky, Trend, Bull Guard or Emsisoft, to name but a few. Only free antivirus/antimalware software...

Who established the above list and how? I established the list myself using my own research. My intention was to include every free antivirus/antimalware product with an adequate sample size of user...

Updated from my previous list a year ago, this list of free antivirus/antimalware software is ranked by highest to lowest user scores from various websites that compile those scores, such as cnet,...
