There are so many things to look in antiviruses depending on you needs and of your situation whether you are in the lan (local area network) or some wireless network and so on. I would suggest using Avast it is really greatt it has been localized to many languages and it works really fine. I have been using it for three years now and I have never had any complain about it when other people computers started infecting mine worked excellent. However with all good things three is price to pay and it is of your resources you have to give avast some stady portion of memory and it will keep it up. However it pays of and it doesn;t take as much as some other antiviruses like AVG or Norton Panda and so on.
I have took liberty of writing to you what avast has and how far it is developed:
Boot scanning ability of anti virus. - Avast is able to scan your computer in the boot process, and in fact after you install it it will require it from you just to increase safty because sometimes when people are switching and installing antivirus some wroms are able to integrate in them in such way that virus will either stop antivirus software from working or it will in fact incorporate and merge itself with antivirus and then prevent antivrus from fulfiling its obligation though it might allow some protocols or even simulate them insens that final user will not note any difference.
Residential protection -- It has active and regulary updated residential protection, and it is on really high level. It will follow your temporary folders your recieving files communications that are openning to your computer. I once for instance so report from avast where someone tried to hack into my computer over bloothoot.
Password protection -- Avast has password protection though you haven't specified which kind of password protection you mean because you might want separate account and settings for each different user of the same computer unfortuantely avast doens;t provide this howeveer I think that this is not so much needed option on the other hand it may be password protected so that only one user or in this case you may change advanced settings allow new deeds and so on.
speed of detection of virus - Most of the viruses are detected as soon as they try to breach in your system or in the case when you are downloading some files when infacted code starts arriving on your computer. Or when they are alreayd settled on the hard drive when they try to start some process. Then you recieve option to cuarantee them delete them delete them permanently and try to fix the file.
removal capacity -- I really don't understand what did you mean by this.
size and memory taken by anti virus -- appworiximatly all service when they are turned on and this is some 6 or seven providers are taking up to 35 kB of the memory space.
basic to advance features of antivirus -- well there is pro version of avast however I haven't tried it and this one is just enough for the home users also I would like to note one important thing avast is not free for any commercial use, it is only free for home usage.
ease of operating antivirus -- Avast is very user firendly and easy to operate any new user will master it in matter of seconds. Everything is easily explained and there are sections where you may go to advance settings but this si for advanced users you can calibrate it without enetering any advanced menus and it will work excelent.
P.S. Avast is great antivirus program however not many peolpe use it and this is the main reasons why therre are not so may security breaches noted in the computers protected by avast software, it is just that script kiddies and other hackers don't have time to write exploits for some software of such kind. And I would like to mention eventhough it was not in your neede d requirements. Avast database is updated almost daily.
