To me the following order denotes the priority: 1. BitDefender - More Updates, consume less memory, great protection 2. Symantec Norton- Little bit memory consumer,more protection 3. Kaspersky- Good protection, Medium memory 4. McCafee- Good protection, Medium memory 5. ESNOD32- Less memory,Good protection, 6. Avira - Good protection 7. AVG- Less Memory, Less Protection 8. Avast - Less Protection 9. F-secure- Less Protection 10. Trend Micro- Less Protection

expressnature - why do you rate these this way? I am looking for something new.. I currently use Avast but sometimes I think it isn't doing so well. I am not to literate and all about anti virus and what they are sure to do, but at the moment my speed is really slow and I am not to sure that it isn't because I have junk on my hard drive or memory that a better anti virus might get rid of. I could be barking up the wrong tree too, but I have to start somewhere. Are all these free downloads or purchased? Thanks for your comments

I used BitDefender Trial Pack for 30 days and it is awesome. It has regular updates, more virus protection etc., Before I have BitDefender, I had AVG Free Edition, but AVG did not found all problems. When I put the trial Pack it showed some 10 or 15 viruses and removed it completely. It also increased the performance of the system. Personally, I will refer to BitDefender that makes system clean, safe and speed.. I am going to upgrade the Trial Pack. Hope it is good to have great protection. If anyone system is hanging, then try the BitDefender Trial Pack. It will remove all the problems.

personally i recommend avira. I have been using this anti-virus program for over a year and my computer had never had any problem. You know the best way of not catching a virus is not using the internet? Lol... JKJK But be careful when you are surfing , dont go the random websites and dont download random stuff. Its the key of not catching a virus

yes i come to know once that due to often accessing random sites malware can be downloaded..so i try to avoid that...but all the sites are not known to me but i have to access and thus viruses are uploaded....so to prohibit those antivirus is my utmost need

Well for the best Anti virus that I have been used is ESET Nod32 anti virus. With this anti virus my laptop is very safe have never been infected by any viruses. Before I used the AVG free anti virus but I still been infected with some virus.

I think avira is a good choice,it is free and can works on most of the mainstream operating system.But comodo antivirus+firewall is also a perfect choice.I am using it now.Comodo can not only kill the virus,but also prevent the system from being invaded.Of course comodo is a free software.Kill two bird with one stone,why not?

I tend to play alot of PC Games on my laptop so i use Avast as it has a function that doesn't disturb me while i play. To me it doesn't seem to take up much memory especially considering i have 1GB of ram. It updates daily and even blocks malicious code/virus etc. in websites. So when i go to a "bad" website it'll block the connection. Hmm what i'm trying to say is.. i love Avast..it's great :D

I use Panda - as recommended by my friend, who's a pro. It's not too dear - and pretty much scans everything out. It's had top reviews for the speed it updates customers when new viruses emerge.

I'm using F-secure. I carefully went through all the most popular antivirus programs by comparing the stats, reading reviews etc. and F-secure seemed to be the best in terms of memory consumption. In the tests it was obviously the one that slowed down the computer least (except from some absolutely awful programs that were low on features)... The scan itself was one of the fastest. The speed is a key component to me since my computer is really slow and I really don't want to slow it down more than I have to :D I've found F-secure to be very good, have gotten no threats and and it's been as fast as promised. The only downside for me is that my copy doesn't update the virus database automically even though it should... But this can be fixed by downloading an update program from their site and running it every other day or so, I haven't heard about anybody else having this problem so I guess it might have something to do with my internet connection that suddenly just shuts down every now and then, last time a couple minutes ago :D This might disturb the updating so maybe that's the reason for the problem... Dunno, but I still recommend F-secure :)
