What antivirus software do you recommend for the E6400?

which one should i get?

i ordered webroot because of the recommendations but i'm not so sure if it'll run smoothly with the E6400

i'll never go back to mcafee, slows my system down like no other.

which ones are you guys using?

should i have 2 antivirus software on my laptop and switch them around every other day?

PS i'm thinking about getting norton internet security and using that as my frontline and webroot as my second.

 

I'm happy using Avast Pro antivirus along with Comodo firewall.
Avast Home is free and Comodo firewall is also free, by the way Comodo now call Comodo Internet Security has a built-in anitivirus which I did not install..

And why would you want to run two antivirus apps?

 

Kaspersky 2009 for the win and that's all you need running and isn't front line for dogs ?

 

Microsoft Security Essentials is worth a look. It's free and fairly light weight.

Edit: Scratch that for now, beta's over.

 

I personally use Norton Internet Security 2009. It's fantastic.

It's light on resources, and has many great features. It's almost completely automated as well, meaning it doesn't bug me ever!

To answer your other question; no, it's never a good idea to run more then one anti-virus program.

 

avira on win7

 

I have that also, and so far, so good.

 

Kapersky, ESET Antivirus (NOD32), the latest iteration of Norton all reasonable options.

 

Limited user, Windows Firewall, some tweaks for group policy and Opera for internet browsing... Seriously. And you can extend your battery life for 5-7% without AV...

 

Microsoft Security Essentials is the best one so far I touch.
It's the same core engine as OneCare, which was recommended by many magazines and sites for it's protection versus system resources it takes (but failed with the cost and what you get part)

Microsoft Security Essentials is free and is for XP 32-bit, Vista 32/64 and Win7 32/64 (XP 64-bit is not supported), and even faster and lighter than OneCare. I find the interface very simple and user friendly. And you don't feel it running. Of course, if you want advance features such as scanning from network, different internet security, etc... then I would say Kaspersky.
