i have laptop, now i need to put antivirus on its but i need u guys sugestion what the best should i put on the laptop, to avoid low performence or slow loading.

ur comments were appriceated.

You can try Active virus shield. Not bad la. Great in detecting.Change the setting for the startup scan. Disable it if want fast NO-SCAN boot up.

If the laptop too slow for u, then try AVG..not as good as Active virus shield but ok la..

Both are free program.

i see, thank for the comments, i already testing kaspersky vers.6.0 its run perfectly. then i left it to my bro. he install bitdefender bcoz of virus attack. consiquenctly laptop itself become slower than b4.

ur laptop doesn't come with an antivirus software (original)? You can use the kasper, around RM60 per month (Lowyat.net garage). That one should be perfect since you're paying for it and I heard lots of comments

Isn't that Rm60 per year? OEM version right?

You are not advised to run BD on your laptop, it's resource heavy.

AVS should do the trick, or Kaspersky.

BTW, 1 AV per computer/lappie! Other than that please uninstall BD.

BD .. resources heavy? dun think so.. at least for my computer, i can run both ZA and BD at the same time


on a 512mb ram

just about ANY brand-name antivirus will do imho. usage pattern is the key... and just be cautious on ur WiFi (file sharing) usage. tap into unsecured connection at your own risk =)

agreed, u dun need heavy avs actually if u dont surf into those warez+pron sites.. a simple AV will do

dude, what avs and av stand for? sorry not familier this kind stuff.

Erm, usually lappies will be the one suffering. Not desktops.

Not this again... Not in a top condition to explain today~

AVS - ActiveVirusShield -- AOL AVS
AV - anti virus

Err.....i beg to differ.
Just because you don't surf warez sites or porn doensn't means you are less vunerable. as an example, i once connected to my brand new streamyx connection and got hit by LSASS exploit aka sasser(or was it blaster) immediately.
simple click on a link you friend send to you via Instant Messenger would infect you with worms and trojans. Or perhaps you would like to share a tumbdrive only to be hit by brontok...
all this anot surfing porn or warez sites, yet very nasty viruses, trojans and worms propagate in various ways.

If you value you data, get a good antivirus and don't curse that it cost 'x' amount of money. its your precious data we are talking about here.

regards...

Try NOD32. Pretty good.

yeah, i trust vista security and so far so good on my computer, i never do daily scan ups unlike the past, and i am living a happy AV free life on my computer

nah.. i am just kidding, its just that i am not as loaded as some of u guys are, i cant afford paying for AV just for the sake of my computer protection .. better spend that money on something else

my 0.00002 cents

oh as might as well add... i dun have any confidential data on my computer

use antivir. free and reliable.

Sasser = Blaster. Keep Note, it was a worm, not a virus. It infects via exploits, most AV couldnt block it in time. It was under a category called Zero-Hour Exploits/Attacks. Only Programs with Excellent Heuristics like Cyberhawk, NOD32, and a few others could block it in time.

For a Lappy, NOD32 will be one the excellent choices around. It is currently the world's most Light Weight AV, which has highly Perfected Heuristics.

On the other hand, For Excellent Signature Based Detections, Kaspersky, AVS (Uses Kaspersky Engine), AntiVir and of course BD are the other choices. Use Symantec at your own risk.

Hopefully this can aid your decision making. Cheers!

AVG 7.5. Fast n doesn't cramp up ur lappy

NOD32 my recomendation. Low memory usage and doesnt hog cpu resources.

owh, thank guys for ur opinion, NOD32 ermm what that stand? wassa that norton or what...

Bit of trivia here, it stands for 'Nemocnica na Okraji Disku'

NOD32 has no relations to Norton (though there is some rumour about Symantec related to ESET somehow. I need to reconfirm this).

ESET NOD32 is not Symantec NORTON. Cheers!

ESET is definitely independent company and not affiliated to norton whatsoever.

Or in english hospital at the edge of the disk and 'NO' Norton is no way related to ESET. The guys at ESET will be fuming mad if you relate them to Norton or Symantec. They are independent non public company ie. Sdn Bhd type. ESET is a technically oriented company with the CEO of the company whom is also a technical person.

i've been using AVAST happily for a couple of years now.

use avs. free and reliable.

Reconfirm. ESET is no Norton brother some how. Don't mix them up. Cheers!

owh.. i see, that could be clear. can gv the ESET official thread,

use bitdefender. now i currently using it on my laptop, so far so good... can get it from lyn, 45 per year.

Kaspersky seems not bad...that day i got one retail version from PC fair april for only RM50...but be sure u've got enough RAm for it...haha.

avast also ok....

but... i think, AVG is suitable for notebook...

Based on your laptop, if low to mid I prefer to you use Nod32, or higher laptop, use Kaspersky...

After trying quite a few, think Kaspersky is fast and active. Others are like sleeping or eating resources

Is there a big difference between "Best Antivirus" and "Best Antivirus for Laptop"? I, for one, can't see a big difference.

In fact, the difference between one antivirus and another in term of memory consumption isn't that exactly big IMO, and modern laptop nowadays are more than enough to handle it.

Anyways, for free AV I think Antivir is a good choice

My recomendation is kaspersky..best antivirus i ever use..

i now using it in my laptop lol..

i would say nothing else but kaspersky

AVS is almost the same as kaspersky too.

Nemocnica na Okraji Disku 32 FTW! Low resource usage and very little CPU usage... peace:

Currently using for my lappy... If ur a student, try to get the Student Package at RM74... If not, better get KAV from the garage sales section...

As for BitDefender, try to google around for a CNET comparative review on KAV, NOD32, BD and many other AV products... They state a 200% system slowdown with BD... Not something you want on a lappy...

Eiraku,

Where to buy NOD32?
Want to buy soon for my sis who is not well versed in computers.

AVG also good

u can get it from the house of internet in front AllIT lyp l3

Vote for Norton 360

kaspersky
just renew the license to 2008

any reason for u to vote it? fast? efficiency in detect virus?

vote for kaspersky Internet security!da best antivirus!

panda av is good too..
avg is not good for me.....

i think avast 4.7 is the best (home edition)
why?
Features overview
Antivirus kernel, Automatic updates
Simple User Interface, Virus Chest
Resident protection, System integration
P2P and IM Shields, Integrated Virus Cleaner
Network Shield Support for 64-bit Windows
Web Shield Internationalization

my PC had been hang because of this sucks of panda AV

i m using bitdefender v10 plus, bought here in LYN..

nod32 is good for laptop.. consume less resources yet effective

karspersky had been good to me so far
