Simon B Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I'd be very grateful if the board could give their opinion on the best antivirus program for Windows XP. I'm looking for something that doesn't slow my laptop down as much as Norton! Cost isn't such an issue, but its worth pointing out I'm an individual with finite resources!ThanksSimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 This question has been asked and answered recentlyClick hereI use the free versions of AVG anti virus and AVG anti spyware on my laptop and am very happy with both.Other members of the Forum will make equally valid recommendations for their favourites. In my opinion - almost anything is preferable to Norton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coreper Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 i personally love BitDefender Anti-virus v10 Plus [it saved my computer from a bunch load of viruses]and ZoneAlarm Pro, which gives you the best protection available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel=UK= Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I swear by Nod 32.id second that, very low on system resources and a very good detection ratehttp://www.eset.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Not only is it a first rate AV program, of great importance to UK users is the fact that support is available just a telephone call away. This is a standard rate call and NOT a premium rate number. The people there are extremely helpful, and are actually in the UK and NOT an Indian call centre.
