Kaspersky or NOD32
You might go into Settings, down to Service > Network Settings, and click the Port Settings button, try disabling monitoring, and see if your result changes or not. Basically, it appears to sit in the middle of the network traffic and watch for Bad Stuff on-the-fly.Originally posted by: dyna
I tried out the latest versions of NOD32(2.7) and KasperskyAV(6.0). Kaspersky dragged the system down more, although not terribly bad. But it had a serious effect on upload bandwidth. I would be interested to hear if anybody else noticed this? I took Kaspersky off and upload performance was normal.
Before Kaspersky:
5000kb download
1800kb upload
After Kaspersky:
5000kb download
900kb upload
NOD32 had no effect negative effects on bandwidth.

I ran NOD32 for a while...and it missed some stuff. On install of kaspersky, it caught everything NOD32 missed....

I say it is ethier Bit Defender or Kaspersky... some swear by one or the other... I personally use Bit Defender because it has won alot of awards and Kaspersky is an AOL product
The free command line scanner and not free Enterprise versions are the only ones that I would consider. The Home version(s) are bloated pigs, and the security center goads the unsavvy into purchasing their other inferior products.Originally posted by: Modular
What about McAfee?
That's a good practice :thumbsup: but remember that normally-safe websites sometimes do get hacked and turned infectuous. A recent high-profile example: the official Dolphins Stadium website, leading up to SuperBowl.I never go anywhere where I could get a virus anyways
