How many MB RAM does AVG take? Does it have a light foorprint?
The Final Thread: The best free Anti-Virus?
I seriously doubt it.
I use Avast! but I don't really consider it necessary with the Zone-alarm firewall. But I do really like the boot-time scan which will scan your computer before windows has a chance to run.
That's a fact.....
NOD32. Constant updates, reliable, no false positives and really light... can't recommend it highly enough.

no false positives, how do you know??
Of course. It may very be the smallest footprint application I have on my machine. Perhaps a few MegaByte's of usage at worst. The thing I like best is the ability to auto update daily and restart the application without having to restart your machine. Not to mention the ability to run scheduled daily scans. It's the only AV application I use and on a machine that's Folding 24 x 7 again, and also running Vista, I need all the free memory I can get.
Good luck,

Avg told me the other day to restart machine to finish the update process...
i installed AVG free and i am very impressed so far, but i want a whole anti-virus+ anti spyware package so i assume my only option is to pay for one of the products that supports this like the AVG internet security or run the AVG Free and a Free anti spyware such as spybot or ad-aware?
AVG offers free anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit applications. But yes, I also suggest running multiple anti-spyware applications, such as Spybot Search & Destory, Ad-Aware, a2 (a-squared) and others... All free.

i know but im talking about an all in one package
That's my conclusion when coming around to AVG as well... Good package, but for what matters (detection rates) it seems to be getting worse.AVG...seriously...for the past couple of years it's barely been "middle of the pack" in detection.
Avast....bogs down your system substantially, even though it does have good detection rates....too many complaints of system slowdowns.
AntiVir is very light..and very strong in detection. Best free AV package out there IMO.
Anybody got a spare AVG license they're not using?
Server OS typically means business, which is why it doesn't work
There have been instances where there were viruses that targeted and tampered with AVG since it has been quite popular. I can't recommend it. Nod32 is so worth it.
Never heard of that before. A virus targeting a particular anti-virus application. Very interesting.
I've seen a lot of people "complaining" that avast bogs the system down. And I seriously can't understand this. Either:
Your system sucks.
Is being bogged down by other software.
You don't know how to optimize.
Or you're just insane.
