Which Antivirus Is The Lightest On System Memory Usage? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 100/100. norman7 (566)   ranked 39 out of 7,773 in computers1 month ago


Few days ago, i got an email from a friend asking me for which would be the best antivirus to use on an old pc which won't slow down the computer. There are easily free antivirus and i couldn't really tell which one is the lightest on memory usage because I've never really compared all of them. I know for sure the latest free AVG 8.0 is bloated and it takes up a lot of memory and i could only guess "maybe" Avira Antivir Personal is the lightest. Actually this question has been on my mind for quite sometime now and i'd be glad to know the answer.

What will you suggest my lotters?happy

Try Avira Antivirus...I used that before..Based on my experience and some experts review, It is very light on system memory and CPU usage..It is also one of the free antivirus out there that is reliable with good detection rate to different viruses.

I am using NOD32 antivirus, its the best antivirus i have ever used. It doesn't takes a lot of memory usage. Rather it povides a high security to your pc. Its a user friendly antivirus.
If you want to use free antivirus then try avira antivirus. Its the best antivirus among the free antivirus. But i will prefer you to try Nod32 because free antivirus don't all types of security which a paid antivirus has.

Using AVG free edition is frustrating because it is also bloated with ads and it slows down the system very much. AVira is light on system resources but I am not sure how effective it is in detecting viruses, because it didn't detect a virus which was detected by CA Antivirus. CA Antivirus is a commercial antivirus but it is very light on the system and integrates seamlessly with Windows XP or Vista. I do not mind paying a little for a good program.

i'll say that Avira AntiVir is tthe best,free,low memory using anti-vius software...or if you dont like that,then try using avast home edition..thats also really good..

But never ever think of AVG 8...it takes 50MB of RAM memory(im afraid!)...but if you think,memory doesn't matter...go with this...its best,except that one disadvantage...

Thanks,
Sri

i have found that a lot of guys have this kind of problems. there is an obvious solution to this provided by the avast antivirus. this software is free to download and use for personal use. you only need to register your software download at their site and get a free serial number which is valid for a year.

avast provides updates frequently and the download is also very short.

i hope you have good time using this anti virus.
