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

but i hear scannin is slow for microsoft

for free use MSE

if u willing to pay RM50 for a year..go for NIS netbook edition

nis netbook edition is?
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
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

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"

You may try KMPlayer.

im using hp-110 (the 1 streamyx giv free when i register streamyx uni cool pack

1.83ghz
1gb ram
i use win7 home premium 32 bit
other detail i dun remember
maybe u always clearing the cache??

No wonder. Your processor is faster than mine. My netbook processor is about 1.33Ghz only. I heard that when i turn it become a touchscreen tablet, the processor speed will be further underclock to prevent it from being heated up faster.

avast antivirus.
offer layered protection for ur pc, persistent scan is realy fast.

what do you mean layer protection??

urs is fast. mine is 1.66ghz.mine also from streamyx cool unipack

Added on March 20, 2011, 6:57 pmu bought it urself or from coolunipack?

I bought it myself from a forumer here. It is convertible netbook. It can convert into a tablet netbook.

using hp too?

Asus. 3 hour battery life only. Yours?

Currently, what AV is in service with your netbook?

wow 3 hour!!
ur battery is a standard
batery
when u using 3 hour. ur battery mode safe power + max dim light

or max performance



im using avira but too many false alarm

the bright side is..it block autorun

avast give you File system shield (local protection), Web shield, Script shield, P2P shield and more for free. Normally these are paid for features only. Most free antivirus only provide you a local real-time protection.

Actually new unit can survive up to 5 hours.

agreed with you. so far nod32 is the lightest ever.

Please, no discussion on ahem.

avast free antivirus and microsoft security essential ?

Seems like avast would be a good choice for free AV

using Avast at the moment..as for the player using MPCstar..

how about CLAM anti-virus ?

Using Avast after annoyed with Avira pop up ads. it hangs my netbook for awhile a second or 2 but yea is short period still . Avast free version offers lot more functions.

Media Player, I use K-Lite + Real Alt and VLC as backup.

You use the Avast in the netbook?

MSE

Yeshh, I guess the resolution does show it is a netbook



Memory usage:

I see. For now, KIS still have about 125 days for me.

maybe when it finish, i'll consider about it. Thanks anyway.

this the best... been using both...

how good MSE compare to avast n avira???

avira free

avira >panda, kaspersky> AVG

Its either MSE - AVAST - AVIRA , all reputable free AV.

agnitum outpost security suite free

almost same like comodo free internet security. im downloading right now.

avast or avira....

personal recommend use avast......avira too many false alarm

MSE FTW~
I thinks its good for free class of AV

use comodo if u want free things..

what sort of free things?

Emm, what u meant.. please finish your sentence pls.

he meant use comodo if wan free antivirus?

avast v6 is the lightest as it can run on some pretty old computer. If you set it correctly, you won't feel a thing. Scan also very fast. MSE scan is slow. Avira got updates problem often. Beside, if you look carefully, avira updates are few days old updates. They never give you today's upddates. Avast updates are fresh.

I recommend avast free anti-virus v6,great protection and light on the system. media player wise, Divx is a must! :-)

Free Avira with my Win XP are working just fine yo. False alarm occur on the first week then no problem.

i use avira before (for its alarm buzzer) and been using MSE now.

agree with those that recommend avast, it's indeed the lightest free antivirus around...

try comodo

Comodo Internet Security + Microsoft Security Essential for 32bit Windows; Avast + Comodo Firewall + Microsoft Security Essential for 64bit Windows.

avira free version gooding too

Avira Free Version - LINK
MSE - LINK

use free avira..or free avast..

my vote goes for avast

hi, wanna know did any netbook user here using KAV2011? My netbook spec is
1.6Ghz atom,
2GB ram,
500GB WD scorpio black edition(Upgraded recently)
O/S is win7 pro 32bit.

My firefox browser is so lag after installing Panda antivirus netbook edition or KAV2011 even the MSE. After remove the antivirus the firefox back to normal. did avast free av have this problem?
I just downloaded NOD32 AV trial... wanna go back and try.

i starting to hate avast....it hav been hogging my internet speed for more then half hour !!!
i have no idea wad he trying to download as the automatic download have been disable by me.

it eat my line speed without any reason!

MSE is good and light.

hv u tried avast or avg already?
these guys are quite good.

Smadav + MSE the best

Im using a free 6 month trial of Kaspersky and i deepfreezed it. LOL.

i think kaspersky not bad la..

Dear bugb34r,

Agree! I also support ESET because I'm using it with no problem at all!

Regards,
Gan.

avast or avg will do the job

Avira is your only choice

http://360.cn
doing fine for me.. it auto clean up your pc everyday to enable fast startup =)

try eset nod..its quite fast and doest eat too much of your ram.
the lightest and fast response media player is media player classic..but vlc is good too,it can play even half downloaded movie..
