Just a pre-emptive strike, there.
we get about 1 of these per week..that somehow able to click on new thread and write a whole paragraph but cant be bothered to click search and click and read...kids these days with their hip hop music and baggy pants.
It's not true that McAfee drains 80% of your processor, unless you're using a 386 or something. Click ctrl+alt+del and have a look in the processes tab for McAfee. It will tell you how much of your processor's resources it is currently using.Quote:

I use my own knowledge and test every 1 month with a few popular scanners. So far nothing, as long as you're spart and don't go googling for "Free illigal download warez games lololol" and going on dodgy sites, you'll be fine.
What about Symantec Antivirus Corporate? Uses Norton Definitions and updates, but much less system rescources used up.
Izzy's AV application of choice. :01: :cool:Quote:

But I have Symantec corp . aswell . Version 10.00.359 is great , but ver.9.0.2.1000 is a little faster at start up . Heres a link for a few different anti virus programs like Nod32, Kaspersky, and Norton. Which can be found by useing our search function enjoy. :)

Version 10.00.359 performs a "start-up" scan each time users logon to Windows. I recall reading about it in a Symantec bulletin. Unfortunately, this scan cannot be configured or neutralized and at present because of a glitch that Symantec has yet to iron out, it will cause your CPU performance rate to sparatically jump to 90-100% useage while taking place (about three minutes for the scan to complete on my Athlon3200).Quote:

In the meantime, they have posted a couple of temporary registry fixes that will halt the scan altogether until the problem is solved.
I will edit my post with links to the bulletins as soon as I find them.
