AV recommendations?

Dare I say it, my laptop's NAV *ugh* subscription is about to run out and I'm looking for something that requires less then 80% of the system resources to run in it's place. What's anyone's experience with other AV and internet security apps? Thanks.

I've used Avast! for the past year or so - it seems quite good and is free.

I've been running AVAST for many years now but tend to leave it switched off and then once every few months just run a full scan of the system. Nothing else apart from the Windows Firewalls. Have for ages not run anything, just be careful about what sites you visit.

Nothing. Seriously. Years ago, one of my kids infected an old system with a benign trojan that arrived via a pokemon site that someone had hijacked. Another infected both my home systems using a music site. Once I educated everyone to NOT click OK on any request to install anything without my OK, we've been fine. Now, without that crap I actually have more stable systems. (Incidentally, it turns out that McAfee and CA EZ AntiVirus wouldn't have caught them. The online Symantec and Kaspersky scanners did, as did installing AntiVir and AVG.)

ESET 4 sure - it has the credentials consistently over time. http://www.nod32.com.au[^]

If you want to pay £30 then I recommend http://www.bitdefender.com/[^], this contains all the tools I need with a small footprint. If you want a half decent free package I would recommend http://www.comodo.com/[^], the av and firewall are pretty good, the antispyware is not so good.

AntiVir finds all the viruses that Symantec etc miss. If I ever suspect a pc is infected then I remove the resident av and install AntiVir which finds and removes the infections. I also use Comodo firewall.
The tragedy of your times my friends is that you may get exactly what you want!

I recommend AVG however, if you don't use a dual core system, I recommend Avast. For some reason installing Avast made my other processor stop working so now I use AVG exclusively. Also online scanners that use about 100 AV scanners, if you use them about twice a year you'll really know if Your AV is any good.

Experience? Trash, all of them, on the scale of fully 'managed and safe' proportions. Solution: find and buy a cheap DEC Alpha :), or run Windows in a VM without net access (lol).
Funny might it seem, but.. I run Windows in VM without net access. Well... most of the time :)

We use AVG and Zone Alarm at home, and haven't had any problems.

Comodo Firewall. Spare a bit of time helping it learn what to allow, but as far as safety it's worth the time. I think AV is outdated personally and as long as I don't allow untrusted apps to execute on my system, am safe as I need to be. Hope it helps.
