My renewal is coming up this month for my AV (NOD32) and am wondering if I should renew it or look into Kaspersky (I find these 2 to be the best after reading reviews). I got NOD32 last year based on the fact that it uses the least amount of resources of all AV programs (Atleast I was told that
). Overall its a really good program, but how do people feel about Kaspersky compared to it?

I've never used anything else other than Mcafee, Norton and Kaspersky and I must say I'm a big Kaspersky fan nowadays. Not only is Kaspersky beautiful to look at but it also protects my computer pretty well.

I have some computers that run NOD32 4 and mine that runs Kaspersky AV 2010, and I'd have to say that Kaspersky does seem to catch more malware, though I havent been able to check if NOD32 is on resources because that computer is down. In the long run though I'll go Kaspersky over NOD32 every time.

I'm a Kaspersky user & have been for years, it's a good product, they have plenty of support & help if you need it, as far as I'm aware NOD32 is indeed lowest footprint on the resources but overall Kaspersky & NOD32 are 2 of the best & I don't think either 1 would be a wrong choice. It seems more like a preference choice, just choose the one you feel is right for you.

I prefer NOD32 over Kaspersky, but they are both very good.

Kaspersky has a little bit bigger virus signature database than Nod32 but uses up a lot of resources.
__________________Nod32's virus signature database is almost as good but doesn't use as many resources as Kaspersky. If care at all for resource usage go for Nod32, if not, kaspersky. I voted Nod32.

I gave Kaspersky Internet Security a try the other day. I found it to really bog down the start up of windows. Also it was not updating properly, and when I did hit update it really like hammered the system for some odd reason. So I went back to NOD32 Smart Security.

NOD32 is the only antivirus that I have never had to clean up after. People bring me slow virus-infested computers with norton, trend, avg, and others (but no kaspersky, FWIW). Never had a problem in 3 years of its use on 4 computers. For this, NOD32 is the only AV I run on my machines, and to this day remains the only AV that I can confidently recommend.
