Hey, i'm using Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, and i'm kinda sien/bored of KIS already, cause it takes long time to update, and always give you useless warnings (badstuffs when gaming) also, after having my fresh new windows 7, ever since i installed KIS the startup time increased. So can anyone give me recommendations for an antivirus that doesnt slows down your startup time or gaming. Thanks

my komputer windows 7 not install with antivirus more then 1 years with no problem..

nod32 is nice. free also

Just use avira, settle.
Heck if you know what you're doing on the internet, you don't need one either.

I recommend Avast! Antivirus.... less false positive detection, have behavior control and gaming mode which not interrupt with notification while playing...!

recommend MSE.

Right now I'm thinking about switching to paid version of AV...rite now using Avast! Pro 4.8 which had done a good job so far for me ( have used it for 3 years ) - also considering to update it into Ver. 5 since it keep asking me to update it.

So far I'm only thinks about Kaspersky...what's the diff between KIS and the ordinary KAV 2010? And what is the pros and cons about it tho bcoz from what i've heard, it slows down the system a bit and take a lot of memories...

err.. where is free ??

I juz want to recommend TS Eset Nod32 Antivirus..
very light weight.. and working flawlessly with my windows 7..
Gived a try..

Using Norton Antivirus 2010, lastest version no lag... Memory consumption lower than before...

Either Avast! 5 Free, Avira Personal 10 , Panda Cloud Antivirus or Microsoft Security Essentials(Genuine OS Required)

Perhaps you can give Comodo Internet Security 4.0 (CIS 4.0) a try. So far it has been doing a great job for me. For more info on CIS 4.0, pleast visit this link: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1471568

since ur a gamer, i would recommend u avast 5 free, it provides a feature called silent/gaming mode, u could turn it on or off so thr will b no annoying alerts while ur gaming, n of course it doesn't slow down ur startup time, update is fast too.

yes... KIS is making computer startup time increase... since i just get KIS for 2 months... i need to use finish it before change to others...

Thanks for your replies. What about BitDefender? I dont too like Avira.. lol, i always thought of it as noob xD

I have been using Bitdefender Antivirus for 3 years and later on Bitdefender Internet Security for 2 years or so until early 2010. To me, it is one of the best Internet Security Suite but it is not that light on CPU. But I stop using it when COMODO Internet Security 4.0 (CIS 4) available. CIS 4 is a free full-featured Internet Security Suite. Refer here for more info: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1471568

Best antivirus 2010 at Q1 and Q2 in virus bulletin for high detection rate for trojans, not malwares, is Kaspersky. Archived >85% of million of trojans in the world, but false detection rate for Kaspersky is quite high too. But better than those "lap sap" av such that avira , panda , norman , mcafee , pctools , drweb , norton .....

bitdefender.
