I just bought a brand new Asus EEE 1000HD (I love it) What do you guys suggest for a anti-virus program? Obviously its a budget computer so I need something that isn't going slow down my computer so much like McaFee does.

If free, Avira
If commercial, NOD32 or BitDefender. -
I use Avira on my netbook. Works well, the only nag is when it updates definitions, it throws a popup about how i should buy the other versions and not run the free.
-
avira free ftw
the nags can be disabled with as little hack. -
If paid, get Norton Internet Security 2009. It's one of the top now.
-
Oh, and to all you Norton bashers out there, Norton slows down your computer now as little as NOD32 (very little slow down), according to AV-Comparisons, and it also catches 4% more viruses than NOD32.
I think we have a winner. -
AVG 8 Free is good too, just follow this guide to streamline it a bit. :smile:
-
I'm just going to delete my other posts, I don't feel like arguing either.

Well then, Avira
-
I downloaded Avira. I will try it out and see how it is.
-
Free : I suggest Avira or AVG Free.
Pay: Norton Internet Security 2009.
So if you have time, please post or PM me with link. -
I've only tried free ones...I hear Avira is just as good as AVG, but I like AVG's interface better. As far as $$ antiviruses go, I get the impression Norton is redeeming itself, but I know Kaspersky and NOD32 are good.

It's simple Avira - FTFW (For The Final Win)
When, my Netbook arrives next week...I shall be using Avira on that, also
For free AV...this is the best I have ever used.

Avira free is the best free AV I had used. -
For anyone that uses Avira free program, is a spyware scanner mandatory since Avira doesn't catch spyware?
Or is just on demand for spyware ok? -
-
The problem is, I have a dinosaur for a computer (pentium 4, 1.6 mhz) and was hoping I could do without real time spyware protection in order to avoid a drain on my processor. -
