Title: Anti-Virus/Internet Security programs
Post by: Janar on June 05, 2011, 08:33:38 pm

Howdy all!

I've been looking around for different anti-virus and internet security programs, both free and shareware ones. The main requirement, that I have, is that program would use as less memory, as possible, although it would be very effective at the same time. Firewall isn't needed, as I have one very advanced program already(GhostWall). My main target is anti-virus, anti-malware or something also, that would have real-time protection.

Give me some recommedations.

I personally use and have used, http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download (http://[url=http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download)]Avast[/url] for many years, it's quite, fast and gets the job done.

What's more it's free and light weight. [/font]

Never use norton. It messed up my PC by making it slower, giving viruses or something and giving me the blue screen of death.
(I had the official paid version)

I use Avast! and it doesn't use lots of resources.

When you're scanning for viruses , it may make your computer slower , but sometimes not.

Microsoft Security Essentials (Free) or Malware Antibytes. Either one of these (or both if you're paranoid like me) and Sandboxie is what I'd recommend.
