NOD32 need to buy and also, no way of trying the trial version.

I am trying to use the Bitdefender IS 2011 and see.

ok,then just use avast free edition...my sister use this n so far she not complain anything...

just u will get some annoying advertisement upgrade to paid version...

I do not like Avast! due to its high rate of false positive to me.

I forget about using bitdefender because it is very very laggy when installed in my netbook.

netbook? mayb u could jz try MSE

When i bought the netbook from the other forumer, it is installed with MSE.

Guess what? There plenty of unknown stuff startup along when the netbook is booted up.

actually its not MSE fault....i used MSE before n nothing prob hv..

just reminding, dun aspect too much AV to secure ur pc every time....

the owner also must take responsibility...

I know about that. I just don't want to leave my netbook undefended at all.

So far, a lot of these AV are resources hogging and cloud based AVs are data hogging for it to perform better.

if u want better protection,maybe its time to choose linux as default OS...

After my friends' linux bad experience, no thanks.

Furthermore, I am using a convertible tablet. If linux cannot support the touchscreen driver, then it defeats my purpose of buying the tablet.

for tablet pc,u can use ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition..it support touchscreen..

n also hv great UI...

just switched to eset av 4, kinda high memory usage.. constantly at 50+ mb

avira only uses around 20-30 mb (w/o webguard n mail guard) sometimes even less than 10mb when idle. but too much FPs

been using KIS since 2 years ago, so far so good

I see. I might try out once i am fed up with virus then.

I thought ESET are very light? Have you used KIS?

It is getting worse, bro.

The amount of memory used by the NOD32 processes varies according to the amount of data being scanned. For example, if you are doing a lot of heavy web surfing, the nod32krn.exe memory usage will increase. However, if you leave your computer alone for a while, the memory usage will gradually decrease.

From my personal experience, *all* of the values listed are reasonable. It just depends on how you have been using the computer lately.

It slowed my PC startup... Sometimes also blocking File Sharing Feature... Annoying... Now I am using Avira Free + Comodo Free firewall... Startup faster than using Kaspersky. Also get free Internet Security Package already...

avira: always block my game when try to running it
kaspersky: to sensitive,sometime detection file that is not virus

its from my experiance

i thought Avira have a higher false positive detection than KIS?

P/S: play your games in a PC without AV if it is not original.

I have been using legitimate KIS for more almost 3 years but it is getting worse. The update is taking forever to finish and it uses lots of memory. Thanks to everyone who is giving your suggestion in this thread. I am thinking to get other Internet Security or Antivirus and the suggestions and comments here definitely help a lot.

i recommend you to use avast free antivrius..its good n light AV...

Thank you for your suggestion. I may give it a try. I did see that you recommend NOD32. Is it a good , paid Antivirus program? I am quite disappointing with KIS now. It gives some false positive detection (as I use some bots and craked programs) and it is slowing down my laptop and desktop.

I might be giving a try on Avira Free + Comodo Free firewall, what do you think?
