If you can lay your hands on Kaspersky for Windows Workstations, go right ahead. Been using it since 2009, never failed me. Most recent is Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 for Windows.

I like webroot. It is self directing (scans when I forget and updates itself) It does not take up a lot of space either.

Other things I do to keep up with security:
1. Buy and install the latest OS (windows 8 has more security features than windows XP)

2. Newer processors perform AV tasks faster

3. I install admin rights for myself and separate (non admin accounts)so the kids do not download viruses ovyo ovyo with games facebooking na kadhalika…

I have used Norton, Kaspersky, AVG and Eset. AVG wins hands down. Compared to Norton and Kaspersky, it was lighter for the computer. Kaspersky was the worst, it really slowed down PC's and it really never cleared threats. Go for AVG free edition


Because its lighter for your computer doesnt mean that its the best...Did you try to upgrade you computer to Core i5?
The fact that your computer has been slowed down means that the antivirus is running many security modules and checks in the background thus increasing your safety.

I dont know which Kaspersky you were using that didnt clear any threats but kaspersky is one of the best antivirus in the market


with all that kaspersky dickriding, hope they are paying you. So I should upgrade my machine or a clients machine so that we can use Kaspersky? Doesn't make sense at all, most guys complain that their comps slow down after installing Kaspersky. As for Kaspersky not clearing threats I have encountered it a couple of times, I have switched a couple of guys from Kaspersky to avg and immediately after installing avg, a threat detected, pops up in some pcs. FYI, I dont use avg, I use windows defender

Back then was on McAfee, still got infected, even with the latest virus database, tried Norton, was heavy on the system, just endured with McAfee, until I discovered AVG. Never had an infection to date. Have used it to clean up infected machines that had other anti-virus systems. Light machines can handle it.

If you do not have abundant Internet data, you can disable auto-update, then manually update when you have the data.

I learnt an important lesson, 2 AV programs cannot operate in the same machine peacefully. Each wants to go Rambo.

Where can I download this AVG key? Kaspersky out ni nja!
