AntiVirus Softwares: choosing the best out of many

firstly any computer user must acknowledge that his the antivirus he is going to use must suit his work, like 
home user 
business user
for home users i recommend the usage of AVG or one can use the AVAST free Antivirus or AVIRA , because these antivirus softwares are light and easy to use, and the home internet users never have to worry about the deterioration of the internet speeds, they are not going to effect the inernet downloading speeds
for business users i recommend KASPERSKY or BITDEFENDER or ESET Nod32, because these softwares make thorough checking and suit the business compatible systems, which have greater configurations when compared to home PCs or laptops or notebooks.
Anyway rating of top 10 antivirus sotwares goes as follows:-

1.) BitDefender


2.)Kaspersky


3.)ESET Nod32


4.) AVG


5.) Norton


6.)Avira


7.) McAfee


8.)Avast


9.) Trend Micro


10.) Webroot

tips to overcome crashes of google chrome

Primarly
Try restarting the browser, or else when the chrome browser crashes it on self shows restore the closed tabs.

Whenever possible, Google Chrome will restore webpages from your previous browsing session.
Do you have Internet Download Manager installed?

If you have Internet Download Manager installed, update to IDM version 6.03 Beta or disable the "Advanced browser integration" option by going to Options > General.
Check for conflicting software.

or try installing the latest version of the IDM which is recommended, IDM has become a problem for chrome for many people out there, i experienced it.

You can check for conflicting software on Windows by typing about:conflicts in the address bar. If you have software that is known to cause Google Chrome to crash, it will be highlighted for you on this page, along with any recommended actions to resolve the conflict. In many cases, the conflicting software is malware that needs to be removed using anti-virus software.
Check whether you need a new browser user profile.

check whether your antivirus is blocking some websites and add them to exceptions in your antivius firewall.
some other tips like always try to run:-
1.)ccleaner
2.)Advanced system care
3.)Tuneup utilities
4.)AVG tuneup
personally the ccleaner and AVG tuneup remove a lot of junk from browser and temporary files and whatever browser stores the junk in it.
also always try to keep to the browser light by installing less number if applications from the GOOGLE WebStore.
 

If you see this error message repeatedly, your browser user profile may be corrupted. First try moving the Default subfolder from your User Data folder to see if that fixes the problem:

    Go to Start menu > Run.
    Enter one of the following directories in the text field, depending on your operating system:

    Windows
        Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\
        Windows Vista and Windows 7: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\

    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default

    Linux: ~/.config/google-chrome/Default
    Click OK.
    In the window that opens, rename the "Default" folder as "Backup."
    Move the "Backup" folder from the "User Data" folder up one level to the "Chrome" folder.

If you continue to see the error, try creating a new user profile to replace your current one.
Check for problems with protected system files.

    Go to Start menu > Run.
    Enter the following: SFC.EXE /SCANNOW (make sure there is a space between SFC.EXE and /SCANNOW). This initiates the Microsoft utility that will scan and repair problems with protected system files on your computer.

Try opening Google Chrome and see whether the error message still appears.


Sometimes SFC/SCANNOW asks to restart the computer to scan it completely
