In AVG you can actually turn down the scanning intensity in the advanced 
settings.  IN marginal cases it might be worth trying if you are having 
problems with it.

Yep John I'm completely with you.  AVG, Norton and McAffe are hogs, and keep
getting bigger.  Nod32 is nice, but it isn't anywhere as good as MSE.  You
bearly know it's running.


Kind Regards,

Hi Peter - Microsoft Security Essentials is only for machines running MS
Windows, so it wouldn't be available for your system - are you Mac or Linux?

For those who ARE using an MS Operating System, I'd definitely and heartily
recommend Microsoft Security Essentials.

I've built up a bit of a niche service in my town for reviving old and
flagging PCs and laptops, and one of the biggest performance increases you
can do - apart from add more RAM! - is to get rid of other software and put
MSE on. And no, I'm not a Microsoft Fanboy, I just know what's worth very
well for me and 20 or so old PCs over the last couple of years.

Think about it this way - if you bought a Ford car and it came with a free
airbag, would you say to the dealer "actually, don't fit your own system
into your own car - bloke down the market says he can fit one from China for
£250 quid"?
