anti virus alternative?
 

im using norton right now and it takes up a ridiculous amount of memory, so it there something out there that is better, if not equivulent to it that's not a resource hog?

NOD32 or Kaspersky.

Thanks, will look into it.

zonealarm pro with antivirus uses fuck all memory.

AVG fucking owns...its free and works really well. Ive used it exculsively for 2 years now.

I use nod32 very good av.

PC-cillin is what I use. Got it with the mobo for free, works really well and uses hardly any memory. biggrin:

Same here

I've got AVG Free for viruses and the new Microsoft AntiSPyware beta for spyware. Neither seems to hog that much.

Kaspersky all the way. It detects everything... even things Norton and McAffee can't.

is Kaspersky better than PC cillin because I read that PC cillin was the top rated AV software

kaspersky is too fuking complicated to use imo ... i use symantec av corp... i havent really noticed it using a shit load of resources ... about 23 mg of mem i think.

PC-cillin is by far the best AV-prog Ive tried to date. Really simple to use and blocks everything. Something I found really handy is the "Emergency lockdown". As soon as PC-cillin detects a virus, it gives you the option of an emergency lockdown, which locks all outgoing and ingoing traffic.

nod used 2mb memory rolleyes:
