Antivirus?

Hello from a rejuvenated XP user Install went OK with USB, performance is excellent up to this point. I have been using Symantec Corporate Edition as antivirus for a long time, but would not want to place it on the One since it uses a lot of resources. Any recomendations for a quality antivirus which works well on the One? NOD32? F-prot? Thanks.

 

AVG Free edition 8

 

clamwin if you dont need active protection

 

www.avast.com

 

avg 8 free...best there is imo

 

Yeap, the bad thing is that it consumes 35MB of RAM approximately. What about Avast and other antiviruses??

 

Installed BitDefender, it uses ~4.5MB of RAM most of the time. This seems pretty good. How does AVAST bare?

 

bitdefender last time i tried it was using over 50mb ??? few months back, (remember there are more than one resource being used in task manager processes, (ie updating, email, main av program)

avast uses 33mb

 

Avast and Comodo are the best. Forget the firewall of the xp...

 

I know of the limitations od XP firewall. I said it works well enough for me, since I don't need advanced firewalling options, and I can detect myself if something fishy is going on with my network connection, especially if big uploads are happening (the main flaw of XP firewall).

 

how about nod32?

 

NOD32!!! I will never get tired to say it! NOD32 is an amazing antivirus, it has a very basic GUI, but is a really reliable and trustworthy software that has given me no false positives and I have been using it for nearly 5 years! It's an amazing antivirus, if you can then don't hesitate to get it. I haven't gotten infected with anything so far thanks to it I trust it completely!

 

I'm currently using Avast. It's pretty good in my opinion, it takes a bit more space than other AVs, but you'll be better with Avast than with some other AV softwares.
