^ PC World (where the article is from) is pretty heavily sponsored by Norton and them....so I'd take any AV "reviews" with a grain of salt. Look to non-bias AV comparison sites (such as AV-Comparatives) for reviews. If you look at the bottom of the article you posted at the Independent Tests section...you'll see it did pretty well.
Best one?

Just curious Carnage, which browser do you use? I usually use Chrome. But it's infected my PC with RespectSale adware.
Chrome with the following extensions: uBlock Origin (ad-blocker), Privacy Badger (from EFF), and FlashControl to block Flash.
That coupled with safe browsing habits (watching what I click, etc.), and not installing software that has crapware bundled with it that install a bunch of extensions.
If you're having malware issues, I'd suggest starting a new thread so that this thread isn't hijacked, and I can help you more in that thread.

I personally use Webroot Antivirus, which rated on AV-Comparatives as one of the highest last time they tested. They haven't changed the interface since then, so it's still fast as all get out and catches most. I use MBAM as a second alternative. They compliment each other quite well and Webroot does not interfere with any other AV's operations. That said, I also get Webroot for free but it's less expensive than most.
