    I'm looking into avast! now, it seems to get a recommendation every time someone asks about AV software so it's at least worth a look I guess

    I switched from AVG to Avast for the same reason one year ago and I have not looked back again. Avast simply rocks!:thumbsup:

    Yusuf May I help you?

      Would you say it's better than avast! or Kaspersky?

      Better? Hmm I really don't know but it sure is faster => less system resources. Anyway from like 10 difrent AVs I've used the fastest and smallest foot print seemed the MS one. I know you can't use it(I read about it). I'm just saying.

            now I am (temporarily) left without anti virus software. It was a really great move of AVG to make their new version extremely insanely slower-than-a-snail slow. Actually not just the program. It makes the entire computer slow. Unacceptable. And of course MSE doesn't run on my OS, because they just like to randomly mess around with XP x64 users. (such as requiring a hack to install any Live product - which then goes on to work 100% perfectly) So.. any AV recommendations?

            We moved to VIPRE[^] a while back, and it definitely takes less resources than AVG. Recommended.

                Does it still have that serious performance regression when using p2p programs?

                    It might be just a bug. Might be an idea to keep an eye open to see if they release any follow-up updates, to fix it.

                      If you want it to be free (and don't mind to be annoyed by some ads) AVIRA is a good choice. Really system friendly in terms of used resources and it works properly. I'm happy though with MSE, but if it is a problem with your OS... X|
