what is the best yet lightest FREE AV

n im using low spec netbook (the 1 that i get from streamyx unicool pack)


p/s; can give suggestion for media player too?

right now im using km player, but too many bug/error (sorry for asking this question in this section i don't want to create to many topic)

THANK YOU

ESET Smart Security / NOD32 AV. PM me for the details.

Microsoft Security Essential is gud. For media player use MPC-HC with CCCP or K-Lite Codec

from which company?

Antivirus: get avast! free edition or Microsoft Security Essential.

Install this browser add-on too for extra security

For media player you can try Media Player Classic Home Cinema
http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/

or

VLC Media Player

using avast free edition and mpc-hc on my atom system, the av seems promising and doesn't burden much

mpc = tiger player??

i feel vlc lighter than mpc

yup. forget this point . update also quite slow too

juz finish watch 720p the tourist

i prefer to watch using my netbook

then i watch using 40inch lcd

I do not think VLC is light, but i prefer it as it is few of the players that can play .mkv files properly.

My netbook lags when playing movies using the VLC player.

TS,

your netbook got lag or not when playing movies with VLC?

nope
i usually play file around 1gb~3gib movie file (.mkv)

what i mean is. i want smoothness when i press fast foward.

with vlc or km player there is no delay when i press fast foward

Can you tell me your netbook's processor, RAM, GC and OS?

My netbook always lag when playing .mkv movie. Even for the 500 MB ones.

that's why i asking him to PM me for the "details",

u can try Comodo Internet Security suit. it's free
so far so good

for AV I used to recommend avira lol. But it seems to be too "strong" in removing virus until it mess up ur pc baldly.

As for player go for k lite, vlc is annoying everytime when u play a new media it show "building font"
