Here at PCGURU, we’re regularly asked about the best browser, best anti-virus, best laptop brand and so on.

So we’ve decided to create a list to create a single location we can refer people to find out what the Gurus like best.

Best Web Browser

Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox

Best Antivirus
Commercial - Trend Internet Security
Free - Microsoft Security Essentials

Best Internet Provider
Advanced User & Businesses - iiNet
