post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
I'm looking for a good AV program that is free that isn't CPU or RAM heavy. Any help is appreciated, thanks wink.gif

I've been using Avast! and Comodo together, and they do pretty well once you set them up. Comodo has a very nice free firewall, and AVG's stopped more than a few viruses already.

Pretty much what I recommend to everyone, MSE + MalwareBytes and a bit of common sense can go a long way too!

i tried Avast! Internet Security and the live resident scanner was bogging me down. Ill try MSE with Comodo. Thanks for the replies smile.gif

Nod32 is probably the most lightweight antivirus on the market. I have been using it for years now and never had a problem with it.
