LeetPirate Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Use Eset AV....only 2 process running.Avast is another I would recommend and its free.I strongly agree with this recommendation by KotaXor. :D Avira is fast as well but it annoys you with adware that pops up when you update to buy the premium version. I believe if they want to offer something free then they should not annoy people to death with popups and adware, a simple link in the main app would suffice.Sidenote: topic renamed to something more suitable.

Administrator DKT27 Posted June 8, 2010 Administrator Share Posted June 8, 2010 At 256MB RAM, I'll recommend Avast Free. As ESET likes to take some RAM.If you upgrade your RAM to something like 1GB, then ESET would do just fine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I only use the file shield and behaviour shield from avast I believe the mem usage is still low even when using all the shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain of Salvation Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Try Panda Cloud Antivirus. Very light and high detection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordman Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 ESET is your best choice,but if you want something free, try MSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marik Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 or you can go with no av, and dl some standalone apps like trojan remover, malwarebytes anti-malware and spybot search and destoryjust immunize your HOSTS file with SSD's immunize option, and just run MBAM every now in a while, and you should be fine....unless you're the "congrats, you've just won 1 million dollars, please click here to redeem your prize" type of guythe best anti-virus is common sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmalc Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Avast! Free will be light and good enough for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeetPirate Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I dunno about that, I tried Avast on a Netbook already and it isn't as fast and light as it claims. The system was using XP with Atom N270, 1GB ram, SSD, and I could see the obvious degradation of performance. NOD32 4.0 ran much faster despite it using more ram than Avast.

It eats less RAM but hogged my PC (even when I had all the third party firewalls uninstalled). ESET is far more faster than Avast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
