الملخص:Four free pieces of antivirus software were evaluated with the objective of examining their performance and produced functions, both individually and as a group, when used to protect computers against malware. The aim was to determine whether it is convenient to use more than a piece of antivirus software at a time. 64-bit S.O. Windows 7 Professional computers and common utility tools were used for the evaluation. The aspects considered for evaluation were as follows: produced functions on the system, protection against threats, and general serviceability. Additional utility tools (for example AppTimer and BootRacer) were used in order to monitor functioning parameters of the software installed on the computer. Through the obtained results, it was possible to gain insight into the efficiency of the evaluated pieces of software both individually and as a group the latter being more expensive.
