I use AVG 8.5, system resources saved.
Right now I'm using ESET which is great, though it costs money. It has excellent antivirus protection and updates very regularly.
I like Kaspersky and Avast.
Please research what you say before making claims.Only.. don't ever use Norton AntiVirus! its crappiest program ever!
It matters more than you might think. I, for one, don't want up to 25% I/O performance loss. If you don't mind that, it's your choice.Those links don't prove anything...The first link shows the speed and resource usage of a scan along with the footprint, but who really cares anymore? An antivirus will barely even dent newer computers and if you're scanning, speed and resource use shouldn't matter as much as the proficiency of the scan.
You can go directly to the main page (the 3rd link), click the "Comparatives / Reviews" link on the left menu, then select any of the tests, and you can view the test results directly. Hope this helps.BitDefender wasn't even mentioned on that site and it's tied with Kaspersky as being the best anti-virus. (Personal testing and the opinion of many...many anti-virus test/review sites out there)
The second link doesn't work.
And the third one doesn't even compare Norton apart from the first chart.

Eset Smart Security 3 offers best of breed antimalicious software protection
Was this the latest software version, or an older one? Comparing against any older version of a virus scanner, regardless of the brand, is generally not the best idea because the virus landscape changes so quickly.UndeadDragon said:When I changed from Norton to Eset, I scanned with both (Norton, when before I unistalled and Eset when I had installed), both had the most recent virus definitions. Norton showed that I had no viruses, but when I changed to Eset it showed 2 trojans.
Fair enough. Thanks for the links.Whitesock said:If we're having a product review battle, I want to join in on teh search for teh sites!
