Lately, I'm getting fed up with NOD32. It's a good anti-virus program, but It sucks that every time I download something and it scans it.. It takes minutes for big files to scan. And in that time, I can't even browse the internet all thanks to NOD32 for some odd reason. There for, I am searching for an Anti-Virus program that good, doesn't eat up CPU like norton anti virus, and does it's job.

I've heard good things about AVG. Free to boot. Personally, I use Norton, but I'd probably use AVG if I had my way since Norton loves to be a resource hog.

Illegal Key I bet? As in, you haven't bought it.

AVG is not as great as I expected. When it does a complete system scan, and I cancel it.. It responds 10min later.

After testing AVG, I'd say it is completely nothing for me. Updates takes way too many system cpu / memory. It even starts to do an automatic system scan mostly every time I start the computer (when it is in windows). I couldn't find the options to turn that off, so I'm afraid AVG is a big no no from me.. AVG could have been done a lot better.

Any other anti-virus that also includes a firewall? Besides Kaspersky.

I use AVG offhand, but my main antivirus/firewall is Zonealarm. Pretty reliable.
