I am looking for the most reliable anti-virus/internet security software. I would like the program to not slow down my computer. I currently have Norton Anti-Virus and Windows Live Care One.
Any suggestions/advice? Thank you.![]()

Kaspersky (Internet Security 7.0)....

Wrong forum. Nod32 is the answer to your question.

How about BitDefender? It seems pretty good. Any thoughts?
-
I'm currently using PC tools on the desktop and PCillin' on the lappie. No problems yet that I'm aware of. <knocks on wood>

I am using these
-
I swear everytime this question is asked, there is a war between NBR users as to which one is better
-
However, the answer is the programs in my sig.All free although I did upgrade to SuperAntiSpywarePro (lifetime for $20).
-
I'm sticking to NOD32 antivirus and free Spybot search & destroy, and last but not least: common sense.
-
Using NOD32 here, pretty light on resources.
-
You can't go wrong with either Nod32 or Kaspersky.
Fwiw, Kaspersky IS is currently on sale in my neck of the woods (Future Shop/Best Buy) for $19.99. A hell of a deal. And overall, you usually can find KIS for a much better price than Nod. -

Most forums have long ago banned the "What is the best..." thread. Many still allow "Which is better, A or B" as long as responses say why and stick to "A" and "B".

I am using Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite 2009. Works well for me.

I think the main point of this question is to find an anti-virus that is not going to suck the life out of the resources...hence no one uses Norton. I think if people would like, a good option would be to post the current memory usage your A/V is using at the moment.

The one that's best? Why, the one that catches only those things I run into, never hits a false positive (Avira constantly seems to think that the downloaded installable for Visual Studio express edition contains a heuristic virus), and never stops me from doing what I want to do.
Which one meets all of those criteria? Beats me; you've got to try em all and find the one that fits (sort of like buying pants off the remainder rack in K-mart, with all the size tags either removed or clearly wrong - you just gotta put 'em on and see if they fit).

Will NOD32 interfer with WoW gameplay? I had panda back in the day and it caused problems...

-
Or is there a third way, in which case, to be grammatically proper, the question would have to be, what is the best...?
-
NOD32, Kaspersky and Avira are the top 3 and Avira can be had absolutely free. I was a DIE-HARD NOD user, that is until I tried Avira.
What is the best anti-virus/internet security software?
