Decent Antivirus Software

[Guest]

Hi

Alright my copy of Norton Antivirus isn't up for renewal yet; the
subscription runs out on the 28th June. Can anyone recommend DECENT software,
as Norton has been a pigging pain in the behind! It slows down my machine no
end, and I think ONE update isn’t enough don’t you?! Baer in mind I have
Zone Alarm Pro as a firewall.

I’m lucky in that no Virus has got though, but its yellow pop-up slow down
my PC when I’m surfing!

Some of my Dad's work colleges hate Norton they says it’s a piece of @$%!,
Putting it politely! Panda_man’s stats for Norton made me go off in a sweat!

I also found that Panda Titanium Antivirus seemed to slow down my machine.
My machine is only an AMD Athlon 64 1.8GHz with 480 RAM (is that slow?) and a
69.9 GB hard drive.

I’m fast going along the line of Ron in RI!

Can some one PLEASE recommend a decent Antivirus software whether
subscription or not; bear in mind I’m in the United Kingdom; British Pounds
not Dollars please!!

Many thanks

Dave

Kaspersky and NOD32 in that order where NOD32 tends to be lighter on resources.

I second NOD32, a great antivirus.

Link : http://www.nod32uk.com for the UK.
Link : http://www.nod32.com for the USA.

Hope that helps ?

Hi .It is quite unlike to have a slow machine using Panda because your RAM is
normal ,the processor is fast.
But if you have problems with it ,I also third Nod 32 .
