give a thumb for AVg...use less RAM

less ram?
lol i demand the best when it comes to stuff like this.
KASPERSKY anyday.

For the ram usage. Are u asking when scanning or on standby?

What about everyone tell wat the memory usage for ur antivirus?

I think f-secure is ok. For kaspersky, when it scans or auto scans, the windows will lag noticeably...

i'm using Trendmicro , good for me, still can do my jo, watch movie when full scan in running.

Avast! antivirus, u can hear sound like "Warning,a virus has been detected" so funny
Got a free version

www.avast.com

avira is small n compact.. at least to me

www.free-av.com

thats not because of the ram usage.
thats because your hard disk is under load during scanning process

no, i tried and tested both. With disabled kaspersky auto scan then all gone smooth.

well if your system lacks of ram, u can set kaspersky to run with minimal monitoring which would not use much ram.
i have kaspersky running with default settings...and right now its scanning and only eating up about 25mb ram

but then again, kaspersky is the best ever product i've used in a long time. its shit load better than norton and its better interms of usability compared to avast. i havent tried nod32 so cant say much.

only gripe i have, its a little complicated to ......break into
i need to get those key files from time to time.

The time i tested both AV, I have 512MB RAM. But now, only 384MB RAM and even set F-secure to auto scan all the files, included the zip files and the windows works smoothly to me. Of coz kaspersky better than Norton, but i still recommend F-secure, since it adopts kaspersky AV scans engine.

My AVG Free edtion

Standy by = 8mb +-
Scanning =34mb +-

FYI , my pc running with 2x 1G corsair VS DDR ram (show off )
Able to play NFS most wanted while scanning pc files

moved from software

F-PROT. It's small, lightweight, no frills, and no nonsense. It will protect you well. Without doubt, the lightest AV in terms of CPU and memory usage bar none but with a bit lower detection rate compared to NOD32 or Kaspersky.

i think AVG antivirus is best! Suit for me Uses less ram

kaspersky for me...can do anything while it scan my pc...

Nod32 used less resource for my pc... and restart pc also very fast with this antivirus

use avast, good and powerful!!!

If use AVG can free some RAM but more risk to infected, i prefer choose using more effective antivirus...haha...

I use avast! now. Much better detection than AVG. System with low RAM feel sluggish when using it.

Hmm... which 1 u prefer it's more "effective"?

I would say all antivirus are effective. It depend on your luck. Like my friends, they owez kena virus. But me? I seldom kena. If got, also small small worms or virus. Just use heal in any antivirus software and solve problem. I kena 1 virus which i consider big issue that is norton antivirus's virus. My NAV crash and cannot open NAV. I had to uninstalled NAV to solve the issue. Now i using AVG, less ram be needed and less space be install

It's depends on your luck Antivirus is just a wall to protect u. If the wall cracks? What to do?

yeah, actually if u always go 2 high risk website or always dl something over P2P or a unknown website, even antivirus also cant help u...
I also recommand a plugin for IE and Firefox called SiteAdvisor, it will check the website u browsing safe or not. Very useful...

NOD32 here regarding ram usage.

Idle around 3-4MB
Scanning around 18-20MB.
