Which Antivirus you are using?

Hello everyone! I'm using avast!. It's free for home users and it's working perfectly well. I use it for about 2 years. Free and automatic updates. It's light and discovers virus, worms, some types of spyware, etc. Very good Anti-Virus.

I am using Avast Home Edition (which is free), and it does not make my computer slow at all. Only when I search for viruses makes it slow a little bit. Apart from that I am completely sattisfied, and I am telling you to give it another try.

I just took McAfee off my laptop. I have paid subscription for years. When I took my PC in for repairs this week, I was told the reason my PC was so slow was due to McAfee and how much space it took..(it uses a lot of space). I have AVG and my computer is running much better, I was also informed of a malicious site with AVG (McAfee has a wonderful version). So, although I have recently renewed, I uninstalled it. You MUST have an anti viral on your PC. You're asking for trouble without it.

i tried using kaspersky and nod32 but the one im using now is avg.i like avg because it scans all virus off my computer making it more faster.

Try bitdefender. It's good and lightweight

I Must say kaspersky is best it has lot more options and doesnt uses your PC resources. AVG is also best

you're playing with fire not using an anti-virus. if you pick up some of the viruses going around now days the least of your worries might be your computer slowing down. there's things out there that will totally reconfigure and possibly disable your system FOREVER!!! i use Avira.....it's free and it doesn't slow down your computer like a lot of the other anti-viruses. good luck running your computer with no protection.

i have used norton and now mcaffee. they seem similar...

I'm using AVG8. It also slowed down my PC but for a better security of my PC, it's better to slow down because there's an AV installed rather than slow down due to virus attacks. Have you think before that not installing an AV may harm your computer? Most of computer users in my attending school are having this bad trait which is the top reason why there's a lot to complain about on PCs there. Not having an AV is not the solution for performance boost, that should not be sacrificed and buy an extra RAM instead.

Actually i'm using McAfee.this is really good.this warns about all the site when we r searching something using a search engine.it either puts a tick mark or cross mark or ? mark respectively saying safe, unsafe ,not yet tested.depending which we can take a decision either to go into it or not.

Hi, I'm using Avira AntiVir Personal Edition, it's free to use for personal use. So far it doing great as I have no trouble at all. It is easy to use too.

im using 2 anti virus first is free avg anti virus from grisoft, use small resource and not slow down my computer performance. Second anti virus is local anti virus from my country called PCMAV, to scan my computer for local virus.

i use avira antivirus. i really hate how it slows down the computer when it's updating but it's something that i have to tolerate since i have to protect the pc from viruses as much as possible. i've used different antivirus programs too like mcafee, avg, avast..and this is the latest one. i might try another one and see if it uses less memory. i'd love to uninstall my av but i can't risk my computer's security :(

In my office, i'm using Trend Micro Office Scan. In my home, I'm using AntiVir plus Zone Alarm firewall. So far..it still ok eventhough my PC is not fast.

I am using AVG (currently version 8.0)...My best advice is to experiment with different ones, and to make sure that it runs scans only when you are not using your computer.

try KASPERSKY Internet Security or KIS..im using it and i have no problem

You're not using an anti-virus? And, you are online right now? Wow! You're brave! I guess that's the golden rule, you should always have some kind of anti-virus on your system before you go online. Anyway, I'm currently using AVG 8.0 and I'm very pleased with this product. You can type in AVG in your search engine and you should find the relevant site at the top of your list. There are probably a number of different factors that can cause your computer to run slow, it's not necessarily related to anti-virus software. The AVG 8.0 anti-virus software is free by the way. I suggest you download this and get your computer protected. As regards your computer running slow, that's another issue which I'm sure you can get help with here. I would be happy to give you some tips. Anyhow, good luck, get that protection on your computer. Andrew

According to an article from PC magazine, if we take into consideration : the quality/speed of scan, we found in the ead of the list Kaspersky Internet security antivirus, in fact it detect more than 93% of virus and malware...
