Avast

Do you think that Avast slows down the pc? Which antivirus is best for pc in your view??

AVG, may be avira

No avast doesnt slow down the system.
Avast pro is now among the top 5 av.
Im using it , its really nice...

Actually it only slows down the system if have less RAM.I used to have 512 MB of RAM and then I had some system lag, but then I upgraded to 1.5 then 2.5GB, and its running fine now.

But again its a good antivirus, and provides an option rare in free antivirus softwares i.e., boot time scan.

So I think that neutralizes all those flaws.

not at all.....my system is running perfectly with avast

not at all avast doesnt slow down the system

I thinks No.

its doesnt slows down, i even ran it in a comp having 256 mb ram & 1.8ghz celeron procc , & u can give a try to NOD 32 (though its not a free AV)

No way.. Avast is the best.

I dont think it really slows down the system... But the latest norton and bitdefender are really light on system resources... Bitdefender takes sth between 15 - 20 mb of ram when real time protection is enabled

I am using Avast and my system is running fine......AV's like Kaspersky ,Quick Heal slowed down my PC.....

doesn't matter Awards and Certificate.
It wont delete virus.
its not power full as others.(Kaspersky ,Macafee, Norton, Bitdiffender)
It wont slow down your system because its not powerful.
i have installed and tried.
If you want secure your PC go for any other AV.

Funny,:w00t:
I explained the true meaning from my experience.

OK. Please no fights.

If someone expresses a very strong opinion (tending to vitriolic) then it will solicit equally strong replies.

So even if you have strong opinions, please explain the reasons of your favour or dislike with good reasons. Keep personal prejudices away and try to be neutral (Tip: Have a look at CNET, PCMAG, reviews).

Whether avast slows down ur pc, depends on your pc configuration. Anyways i use avira antivir, & found it to be the best 4 me (reason : http://www.av-comparatives.org/).
