best antivirus

Post by ammarnaeembutt »

the world bestone company is
symantec and mcafee, when any virus is discover then first symantec then mcafee find the solution,
anyway, mcafee is providing the antivirus software for linux
check it out from its website and download it then crack it,
or go to the www.ddl2.com and write there mcafee
choose from the list they are crack,
if u need antivirus just for mind relaxation then
bitdefender is beter,
clamav is stupid it need many plugings,
f-port is also better,
trendmicro is also better,its on 3rd number,
and 4th is on panda
ok check the provider with their solutions
