bizzare_blue · 06-02-2005, 09:46 PM

Now that Grisoft is not supporting AVG 6 anymore n there no updates 4 it...can anybody plz suggest a good anti virus which is good 4 a system with low resources. I tried avast but could not find it good enuf.

Are CA's eTrust and Kaspersky Lab's antivirus worth buying?? Plz help me out on chosing a good AV and plz dont suggest Norton....

Hi
Grisoft offers a free version of AVG7. So, it is dropping support for AVG6. It is a 10.4 MB download, so a bit difficult if u have dial-up, but hopefully, it will be available in one of next months cds of digit or chip,etc.

it is K7 computing.

and
i'm using zonealarm security suite which has a pretty good antivirus in it. and doesnt take that much resources.

i also use Zone Alarm, but i thought it was a only a firewall.
so, how to take advantage of the zonealarm antivirus ?

There's no doubt that Kaspersky is the best AV, but it's a real resource hogger...what's ur system config? go for Kaspersky only if u have a beefy system, otherwise be prepared for slow app. opening times etc...
CA's eTrust is a very good AV and is also ligt on system resources....
but, why do u go for commercial AV, if u can get good Free AVs,as u previously used AVG 6,u can get thier new AVG Free with Version 7's core, go for it...

it aint that of a resource hog
muchhh better than any version of nav ive seen
infact id say its system light too

btw zone alarm is a really good firewall but the antivirus sux .. so be careful
