What a wonderful comparison toadoftoadhall

Nortons about the best for protection, but NOD32 is very nearly as good, and way lighter on the system. Go NOD32 if your a gamer, or value a snappy and responsive system.

F-Prot..........catches everything and very very light on system resources. I have tried everything and this comes out on top for me.

[Koolpc]

Quite a few to choose from!!

[specofdust]

There always are. Best bet is to pick the one that most people reccomend I think

I seem quite happy with Avast, but maybe I'll try this Nod one.

[Koolpc]

Guess i should have done a Poll!!

[Xaneden]

You still can, at the top of this thread, press 'thread tools' and select the poll option.

Clamwin!

The lightest resource-wise of any scanner I've ever used (yeah OK, so this is because it's lacking features ... just scans for viruses).

[aidanjt]

*sigh* not another AV thread, I think there's been 5 in the last week or something..
another vote for Clamwin.. or Sophos if you have the money and don't mind the little extra overhead.

[UHT]

Think I will give clamwin a try, ty.

I use Command AV by Authentium, never usess anymore than 400k of memory even when doing a full system scan, its updated daily, at points 2 - 3 updates a day. Never let me down.

I use NOD32, its the best anti-virus I'v ever used, not had a virus for quite a long time with it now!

[krazy_olie]

I'm thinking I should go back to AVG now. However when I changed from AVG to Avast it picked up a lot of stuff which AVG didn't. Having said that i still get viruses and a lot of the time I end up manually getting rid of them.
