So regardless of price, what are the fastest anti-virus programs for XP and Vista? I'm tired of my system grinding to a halt for 8 hours while my virus program runs a system check.

8 HOURS!? Holy moly... Avast, set to scan all files and archives, takes about an hour an a half to complete a full scan on my laptop... of course I only have a 60Gb drive. I usually have it set to scan in the middle of the night, so it doesn't do it while i'm using it.
-
the fastest?? Eset Nod32 AV v3... absolute minimal resource hog!! and fast scans... recommend it to anyone...
For free antivirus you could even try avira or avast... if your looking for some free AV then i'd recommend avira... -

80mb? what is it a 386 or something? Maybe time for an upgrade?

Second the antivir. It scans my 7k200 with 100 GB of used data in about 1-2 mins.
-
Fastest antivirus? NOD32 hands down!
-
Antivir takes only 1-2 mins, usually closer to 2 mins. Avast takes a long time though on thorough scan, about 1 hour 30 mins. Yes, antivir can scan that fast.

Has anyone successfully used the trial version? -

Actually, I think Nod2.7 is even faster than 3.0...but that's beside the point. They're both incredibly fast and good.
