Tripo Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Hello can anyone recommend some lightweight Antivirus software that is good.except from Nod32.its good if it works on all windows.win9x and Win2K/XP.
cyberformer Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Clamwin is the lightest I've found that works on 9x and xp. I wish it worked on 95 though!It's light on resources, but takes quite a while to scan to completion.Some people think it might not be so great, but it must have gotten better, being that it has been out long enough for improvements to have been made.
lordpake Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Problem with ClamWin is it lacks realtime background protection. There is a product based on ClamWin called MoonSecure which may have background protection already. Not sure what OSs it support though.(lol! It took almost 4yrs for my first post here) Edited April 1, 2009 by lordpake
Tarun Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Go with avast, it's fast and lightweight. ClamAV has horrible detections, Avira has annoying nags/update popups, and AVG is bloated.
broknindarkagain Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Kaspersky 2009 isn't too bad. I've tried all the major ones. Everything has taken a toll on my performance except for Kaspersky. Its not really a "light weight" AV, but it performs good and doesn't eat up too much resources.
FredMet Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I use Avast with only the standard shield active, and it's very light on resources
