New Anti-virus Program

[K0rN_b4LL]

Right now I have AVG and it is really secure but my laptop is a single-core processor and AVG makes it chug like crazy sometimes. I'm looking for a good anti-virus program that is still decent but won't slow the hell out of everything I do. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Try doing virus scans while you're asleep or have it set to do a weekly scan while you're sleep.

The scans aren't the problem. It is constantly monitoring everything you do on your computer, even when not doing a scan, and it eats up performance.

I have AVG on my computer at work and yeah it fuckin slows your computer down without it doing scans. I have to turn it off usually just so I can run a very simple DOS based invoicing program.

I like the MS essentials. Does a fairly good job without slowing me down.
