| Microsoft Security Essentials (free and surprisingly excellent AV alternative)
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/
finally something i can send to all my friends on fb that fail
free and works on xp, vista, 7
this is a spinoff/rewrite off of their commercial server product that ms bought a few years ago.
hopefully it puts those norton fuckers out of business, it is not related to defender in fact it disables defender
very light weight, and has little false positives so far (it takes a very long time for a fullscan because it scans everything in an exe or package) Quote: |
Security Essentials uses around 80-100MB of RAM and 75% of CPU time during a full scan. During normal activity, the application uses less than 8MB of RAM and rarely registers any CPU activity. Other anti-virus software manufacturers should take note. Many commercial and free products are resource hogs that can make slower systems unusable. Microsoft’s solution has a barely noticeable effect.

Personally its not that slow, only took the quickscan 25 minutes to go through 700gbs on my main pc. Quote:

the quick scan does my computer a lot faster than AVG ever did. only thing is I'm not sure if it's scanning just the drive it's on, or if it's scanning my media drive as well.

I did a "custom" scan and selected both drives, this is taking a fair bit longer but I think it's doing a deep scan now not a quick scan. still moving faster than AVG thus far.
