It’s been more than a year since I published the list of best Antivirus software 2009. Now it’s time to update that list.

I have collected information from several Web sites, and considered expert as well as user reviews and added some of my own findings. Now I have a new list of programs that are most effective in preventing and cleaning virus infections. You should also know that I considered the price of the software while making my selection. Again, you won’t see any Symantec products, simply because I have had too much bad experience with Norton Antivirus and Internet Security programs.

This is my selection of 10 best Antivirus programs for 2010:

1. Shield Deluxe $19.95
2. Kaspersky Antivirus $39.95
3. Bitdefender $29.95
4. Vipre Antivirus $29.95
5. AVG Antivirus 9.0 $34.99
6. Eset nod32 Antivirus $39.95
7. Avast Pro Antivirus $49.95
8. Webroot Antivirus $39.95
9. F-Secure Antivirus $39.95
10. McAfee Antivirus $39.95
