What Antivirus Program Is The Best For A Computer?
I know that Norton might rock, but myself personally, I can’t tolerate the way it uses all of my ram and slows my computer down. I use spy bot, but that isn’t enough. Is there anyone out there who knows of an antivirus program that will not eat up my bank account or my computer’s capacity to function at a normal rate? Thank you for your time……

I’m sure nobody here will agree with me on this, but my perfect “security suite” includes: AVG (free), trojan remover (WAY better than it sounds), adaware (free), zonealarm (with antivirus, otherwise free), and hijackthis (free). Nothing gets past it, and I mean nothing. Everyone reading this, even if in disagreement, should download the trial version of trojan remover here http://www.simplysup.com/. Despite the “fake” sounding name, it really is an amazing program and will most likely find something on your system.
AVG
hi, maybe u can try the program as follows, they are good and stable in my opinion
kaspersky internet secrity – include a firewall, anti-virus and other products. and kaspersky is by far the best security program Ive come across.
Spyware Doctor 6.0 – Advanced spyware removal tool that detects and cleans thousands of threats.
hope they can help, good luck
MOST VIRUS DEFINITION ANTIVIRUS RANKING:
1ST>Norton Anti Virus (Recommended for high memory computer)
2ND>AVG (Recommended for low memory computer)
3RD>Katspersky (Alert Most (Annoying)
USELESS Antivirus:
NOD32
Cant tolerate with Norton?
Choose AVG or Katspersky
Norton is the best??? Norton is the best antivirus software to slow down your computer……
I suggest you download ESET NOD32 Antivirus http://www.nod32.com.sg/html/44/42/. NOD32 easy to use, samll printfoot, run fast, can detect unknow virus
Norton sucks, it is a memory hog and I had viruses slip through it all the time when I had it.
Now I use BitDefender. It is awesome, does not hog memory, and I have yet to have a virus.
use NOD32 or Kaspersky internet security…if you want to know why i suggested these two please visit the following link…http://www.consumersearch.com/www/softwa…
after this please decide for yourself…
Norton is a terrible antivirus.
AVG, Avira and Avast are the best. They each have a free version and they all stomp Norton.
Norton Antivirus
try this BitDefender Antivirus 2009
Norton is the best, ram sucker or not.
try avast it wont eat ur ram and its free
AVAST is good one
i use avast free home edition , it works well for me
I would personally recommend Avast! its free and it does a great job and its doesn’t slow down your pc. just go to avast.com scroll over the downloads tab click programs it will take you to another page avast! 4 home edition will be the second on on the orange list click it on the next page scroll down and select the language you want the installer to be and click it and either save it or run it. all you have to do is register it just click the register button at the top of that same page give them you email and info and the will email you a code that is good for 14 months… hope that helps you
