What is the best antivirus that doesn't slow down your laptop?

My new laptop is great, but it gets a little slow. The ''norton'' software came with the laptop. I tried uninstalling it, but it didn't come off. I need something free that works great.

AVG and Avast are both free and quite good.

Norton shouldn't be slowing you down that much if the options are set correctly, either.

I've tested some free antivirus and I found out Avira AntiVir consumes really small amount of resources, click here to see the result:

I use Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition.

It's made by the same guys who make norton but it's way better.

Oh, I didn't see the word 'free'. Just use the ones people suggested above or use channelbt/usenet. (can't elaborate on that though, sorry)
The top Rated Antivirus for protection %26 low resources usage are as follows

Can you really trust Avast Antivirus?

It's free so I don't know if it is trustable or good. Tell me if you have experience from it.

It's great!!!
I've been using the free version of Avast! for the last 5 years and it has never let a virus through yet! It is stable and doesn't consume system resources as heavily as some of the well known paid-for AV programs.

It's always good to use a second AV program, such as AVG, and a couple of anti-spyware applications as well. This gives you more comprehensive protection.

Norton Antivirus is the best antivirus software I've come across. It's probably the best one on the market. Also very price worthy.
I've used it for a couple of years, and it seems to do the job.
It's very good

Best virus removal tools? Best Antivirus?

I'd like to know what the best virus/malware/trojan/worm/spyware/whatev... removal is.

Also I'd like to know what the best anti-virus is. I'm not in the market for ONLY free programs. I'm just in the market for the best hands down.

Is the scan and removal seperate from the anitvirus? that's fine.. I'm not lazy.

Also any advise as far as firewalls go would be nice too! I really want to get my computer locked down and safe.

Thanks!

Why does my computer say ';Windows did not find antivirus software on this computer';?

I have AVG free, and have always had AVG free, but this message has not come up before. Why is it coming up now?

Why does my computer say ''Windows did not find antivirus software on this computer''?auto protect

AVG now has newer versions out but they are no longer free. Often people have trouble running obsolete software. It's time to either upgrade to the new version of avg or find another security program.

Why does my computer say ''Windows did not find antivirus software on this computer''?downloads

Just go to the Control Panel -%26gt; Security and click on the ''I have my own antivirus software...'' to get rid of the message.
What you have is probably is firewall or spam blocker
Most likely windows is not reconising as an anti-virus, and just another program.
You probably updated windows, the older versions of xp didn't check for an antivirus, it can be turned off if it really annoys you, it doesn't mean that AVG isn't working any more though.
Chech that you have not accidentaly deleted any important files of AVG.Check in Control Panel-%26gt;Add or Remove Programs-%26gt;AVG. If its there and still Windows shows the message then some files may have got deleted.Reinstall the app.
If you can see AVG in the bottom right corner,click to make sure its running,if not you may have to install it again( first unistall) !

How do you get an antivirus software on a windows from a mac?ducati

The best free antivirus is AVG. you can also try out the trial versions of nod32 and kaspersky. just google it download it, transfer to the usb and then to the desktop machine.
one way is to use a usb memory stick and dnlaod the anti-virus file onto that, then put the stick into the windows usb port and install from the stick.

Make sure you dnload a windows version of the software....I use AVG antivirus and they do have a free version

OK so I got an antivirus program running....?

...now, what about programs that are ''registry cleaners'' and so on? Are they a crock or worthwhile? I'm always wanting my PC to go faster so I defragment every 2 - 4 wks and disk cleanup weekly. Is there anything else I should be doing to keep it running smoothly and quickly? FREE downloads only, please! Thanks!

OK so I got an antivirus program running....?best antivirus software

never use registry cleaner if you have moderate knowledge about computer registry. some registry cleaner will destroy your computer. You can defragment more frequently. i defragment my computer everyday.

Try CCleaner (download.com) it will keep the crap out of your box and if used on regular settings is safe for use by anyone.
