Okay.. I had my time of hacking. And here is the results
The only antivirus we could never hack was Kaspersky.. Which make sense as it has 100% protection score. BitDefender has the same protection score but I never came across anyone using it. It used to lag computers as hell and really disturbant as you it won't let you run anything
For free choices ( for my sister and friends ) I used Avira free. But I discovered it has only 67% protection score.. Still love it as my sisters don't have anything to worry about and its enough for their use.
However I would advice using AVG with 73% protection score which is pretty good and specially when its free
As for eset and norton. . I guess windows 7 filter has a better protection. I used to bypass them without any need of encryption!
Old sweet days. And be4 any flaming I had never hurt anyone. It was just a hobby. . Maybe open cd-rom. . or flashing keyboard lights.

You can easily get around any anti-virus without a problem, so all these people saying these ridiculous statements that they don't even use an anti-virus, I feel sorry for all you. Can almost guarantee if you download online, you are infected with some sort of malware. Probably a RAT.
Oh and to the linux chronies, you may not be aware of the rootkit embedded in a certain distribution last year.
People could almost say that Linux was virus-free until about 10 years ago, when people started scoping out - there's plenty of exploits in linux and you are also dumb to think your safe.
Best tips are to use a good av, run malwarebytes every month aswel as another of your choice (I use spybot and ccleaner), use a good startup and process explorer and only run downloaded executables in a virtual machine (unless from trusted vendors). Sandboxie and the like will not work as there are methods to trick these apps into thinking the exe is safe.
Don't trust when people say false positive as most of the time I assure you they aren't (I'm not saying there is no such thing as a fp but be very wary).
Just a heads up, you don't need to take notice

Avast Free Edition + Malwarebytes. But the Best I found are Eset Nod 32 and Kaspersky, Bitdefender is also up there.
