...symantec antivirus corporation...this one is for corporate (but normal home users can use it just as easily), which is why it takes up less resources (much less)...

That&#39;s not strictly accurate.

strictly??? now that&#39;s a controversial word

perhaps u could provide a better version [/b][/quote]
I did post about Symantec memory usage on my system in this forum before but I think it got lost in the restore a couple of months ago. It&#39;s really not as resource friendly as many would have you believe.

That tells me it isn&#39;t the best.

that can happen to any av, if the virus is made to be able to shut down its process.

since u crossed out NOD32, i&#39;m gonna help u crossed out AVG
that thing is bad, one fella in this forum uses it yet he can get hit by viruses...and he&#39;s not alone

no AV gives 100% protection.......

ive seen virii infect comps with AVG just as easily as comps with NAV.........

it doesnt differ that much......... all AV&#39;s named here are fine........ i personally use AVG, and havent had a virus yet (since is switched from NAV)........ as long as you keep it all up to date and dont download things of unreliable sites/networks ahum, fasttrack

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal (AKA KAV5). I think I got everyone started on Kaspersky.

McAfee Corp Edition Version 7.1 works great for me because you can password protect the service so a virus can not shut the service off, so you can not get infected as long as you keep it up to date.

KAV did find a couple of things NAV had missed so far, my first full system scan is in progress right now.

But in all fairness it&#39;s been a while since I had NAV running and a lot of db-updates can happen in a couple of months.

What I do like about Kaspersky so far tho&#39;, is that nifty password prompt for pass-protected files when it found any, which let me scan where avg and NOD 32 skipped, I haven&#39;t found the setting for them to go through those files anyway yet.


Btw, it&#39;s bloody brilliant having a couple of os installs you need to format anyway, that way you can try all kinds of stuff you wouldn&#39;t otherwise for fear of it cluttering up your &#39;puter.
