whups! I think he meant "do not bring up old THREADS, not threats lolz

I am not sure about locking some threads, this might be one of those eternal threads, as the subject "which AVP" is timeless.

Thread UN-locked. Alien did the right thing, I hope I am too

yeah, it was ok that alien locked it, but in this special case I think it's also ok to let the thread run....I mean, AV's are changing with every version, just take a look at my favorite Kaspersky: heaven in version 6 but it became bloated with version 7....

I'm testing Kaspersky 7 at the moment, and to be honest. It's really good so far =) They removed some of the idiotic functions, and added a rootkit scanner.

hmmm...ok, keep me up to date with Kaspersky 7, I am not sure but it's possible I HAVE TO update to version 7 when the 1 year is over.

rofl! only if you test it on a Pentium 133 Mhz with 32 MB RAM or something XD

I have made loads of tests with anti viruses, and Kaspersky is one of the best ones i have tested ^^ Does NOT take much performance and does NOT take anything noticeable from your net performance.

But of course, everyone can make mistakes, but you will have to prove me wrong

back before when i still using kaspersky...it owneds much memory of the pc lol..

when browsing limit only 3 tabs FF..later it said memory low..0_o..and it lags..when i open up taskmgr.exe and look at the process..100%CPU Usage while KAV is scanning

then what do u think the best i can do? delete it in my HD..

specs:
1g RAM
80G HD
512MB Vid MEmory
Using winXP

i forgot to include im using dual core processor...

what specs do u think it should be tested?:lol:

I have it on my server on a virtual machine

the server has an old 1 Ghz processor with 384 MB RAM, works like a charm

Also OF COURSE it will take lots of CPU power when it's scanning >_< shut down the scheduled scan and scan when you don't use the comp.

I recommend Kaspersky, or Nod32. I personally don't use an AV on my main desktop rig that I built. I don't find it necessary with my safe surfing habits, and VirusTotal.com
