Which one of these antivirus would you recommend to install

[mrkool123]

I am contemplating on installing one of these two anti-viruses AVG 2012 PRO or Avira 2012 PRO.Which would recommend?Im installing on a laptop with these specs. Duo core processor 1.75Ghz,3 GB RAM DDR2.Which will have lower impact on system resources and lower impact on boot time?

[fumia]

resource? for me it's avira,AVG use too many process :P but it's always better for avast it's really light on my old PC :)

[digimon]

avira of those 2

but if you can get nod32 antivirus or even secuirty suite they put all other non cloud antivirus to shame

[stratocaster009]

avira is too lightweight but so many false positive when it comes to detection.

someone said in one of the forums here on nsane that the best AV is "brain.exe" and he/she is right

[Ponting]

Use Sandboxie....forget about antivirus and virus...... :P

With a system with your specifications, I would install neither. I recommend the following:

1. Symantec

2. ESET

3. Avast

These AVs are extremely light-weight on your system resources and provides the best protection.

use avast !

[stratocaster009]

i second that. use avast! and an outstanding interactive firewall.

Get Process Lasso and CleanMem and your system will be much, much, much more responsive.. did I say much, much? lolx..

.. lower impact on boot time?

no amout of mechanical hard drives will ever increase nor maintain an uber-fast startup -- that largely depends on brand, model, even how fragmented your drive and how messed-up Windows registry state is.. if we aim to achieve blazing fast performance, then SSD is the undisputed king, but obviously for the price it commands, it's far-fetch for everybody to have..

and yeah Avast will do very nicely with your current setup..

Yeah, I agree about Symantec. That is, if you consider an elephant to be light-weight.

While it may run ok on newer, more powerful systems, it will make most other PC user experiences something like trying to escape from quicksand.

Trust: 91.75 %

I don't consider an elephant to be light-weight :P I installed Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2012 on my 1.4 GHz (single core), 512 MB RAM and it runs quite fast and smooth and does not slow down my system, comparatively to other AVs. And besides, many 'independent' reviews also claim Symantec to be one of the lightest suite, if not the lightest of all.

Between those two; I'd say Avira. But if you want my advice, stick with Avast.

[tangkungan]

so at the end of the day..

..the proof of the pudding is in the eating..

so do try whatever you feel like using..

Avira 2012 ftw !!

I'm glad I could help :) I'd like to ask you, if you don't mind, why did you install Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2011 and not 2012? It's much lighter and faster than its predecessors.
