I use Nod 32 myself and I find it very good as it uses hardly any system resources and runs perfectly detecting any threats. What ever you choose dont get Norton.

Well it does provide good protection I must say but it is the worst for eating all of your systems resources.

Take a look here [innoshare.com], I have however read that the latest version of Norton Internet Security has a lesser footprint than the older versions so maybe theyre improving their software.

I always choose NOD32 as it is extremely light and powerful, have a look at their statistics here:

http://www.eset.co.uk/Compare/Detection

http://www.eset.co.uk/Compare/Performance

That is why I always recommend it plus I use it myself

Default Re: Which antivirus do you use?

I have to agree with Michael, ESET Smart Security is a brilliant choice. I was so impressed with the reviews and the features that I purchased it It's brilliant, and as Michael said, it hardly uses any resources and runs quietly in the background.

I would reccommend this software to anyone who's on the lookout
