Question
QUESTION: could you suggest the socalled ultimate antivirus - i heard that it wont take much processor memory?
ANSWER: Hi Satyan
Definitely NOT! According to the security site, bleepingcomputers.com:
"Ultimate Antivirus 2008 is a new rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as System Antivirus 2008, Windows Antivirus 2008, and Vista Antivirus 2008. Once installed, Ultimate Antivirus 2008 will scan your computer and display a list of security risks found on your computer, which cannot be removed unless you purchase the software first. These infections, though, are fake and are being displayed only to scare you into thinking you are infected. As another scare tactic, this program will also display a fake warning that states malware is trying to infect your computer."
So chances are, you have already been infected. Please follow the Automated Removal Instructions for Ultimate Antivirus 2008 using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware:

QUESTION: in prev question i didnt mean
Ultimate Antivirus 2008 . in fact i didnt know that ..other than this what could be the best one available in market which would minute viruses/bugs?
Answer
Hi Satyan
Sorry for the misunderstanding. The best antivirus is probably Kaspersky, followed closely by BitDefender. ESET Nod32 and AVG are also good choices. If you are looking for one that does not take up too much in the way of system resources and is constantly updated, then Kaspersky is the product to get.
