Replies mwymer01 Posted at 2:44 pm on Oct. 22, 2008 both kaspersky and NOD32 are the best AVs out there, low on resources :D Rhapsody Posted at 4:27 pm on Oct. 2, 2008 Due to the nature of anti-virus programs, especially those that have on access protection, your computer will be slowed down when using them. The more features an anti-virus has, the higher the chance of it slowing down your computer. However, Avast seems to be able to do a decent job and do it to an extent that you may forget it is even there. nikki Posted at 10:27 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Try Avast! The home version is free - it's reliable and doesn't slow down or freeze your PC. espresso8097 Posted at 8:02 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 Quote: from bigredron at 8:09 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 Quote: from espresso8097 at 5:50 am on Sep. 30, 2008 Avast runs well enough on any system I have used.  Is available for free and does not significantly slow down a 1.3ghz soc.423 P4 with 384mb PC800 RAM. wow thats a shit pc lol That is a decent PC from 2001.  The only problem is that the price of PC800 RAM never went down, still costs a shit-load to add just 256mb to it.  As it has to be dine in pairs and was only popular with servers and workstations.     stratocaster69 Posted at 7:51 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 Quote: from espresso8097 at 10:50 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 Avast runs well enough on any system I have used.  Is available for free and does not significantly slow down a 1.3ghz soc.423 P4 with 384mb PC800 RAM. yeh it used to for me bigredron Posted at 6:09 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 Quote: from espresso8097 at 5:50 am on Sep. 30, 2008 Avast runs well enough on any system I have used.
