When I play TF2 and this is running at the same time, it will max my CPU and my game is complete shit. If I turn it off it's fine.

I have already done this in the past; it does not help.
Re: Better Antivirus? - at0m - 09-24-2010
I do a lot of software development on my PC, mostly for work. I've found that Symantec gives me the best protection, but lately it's been giving me a lot of issues when I'm compiling by locking files that it wants to scan and slowing down my compile sequence. Any suggestions on what AV I should use instead? Perhaps from another software developer?

anyways, there's still too many anti-viruses to choose a good one, mostly i pick between Avast, AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials, but otherwise i have no idea what you're mostly talking about
Re: Better Antivirus? - EarthlingJohn - 10-21-2010
Best paid:
That one with the robot on it (supposedly a gamers antivirus)
Norton (I get free with comcast, doesnt hog cpu at all)
Kaspersky (heard it runs very well)
Best free:
Microsoft Security Essentials

Re: Better Antivirus? - at0m - 10-21-2010

Norton gets high merits from pcworld mag (go ahead laugh), and i have no problem with it.
Reviews of that one with the robot on it say its pretty amazing, heard it blocks that "black internet" virus where others cant.
Kaspersky:
Jackie Chan - Kaspersky 2010 Antivirus Commercial
avast and microsoft things are self explanatory

OK so those are rated according to you, a tween, based solely on advertising. Check.

G-Data is still rated as the highest detecting.
Re: Better Antivirus? - WaR1761 - 10-21-2010
I am running AVAST and have no complaints. Does its thing havn't had a virus or malware, but I think most viruses can be avoided with good web practices.... and letting your friends download torrents first.... lulz

Having just participated in a computer espionage and defense exercise, I can now honestly say that MSE does dick all in the real world.
Fucking red team, messing up my shit.
Re: Better Antivirus? - at0m - 10-22-2010
I never expected it to be anything other than a placebo, honestly
Re: Better Antivirus? - Vongore - 10-22-2010
i have avira and i hate how when it detects something, it doesn't say if the block was succesful or is just warning you.
I loved Kaspersky .i really felt secure with it, with warnings everytime (even if they were dumb, like blocking key configuration for games), but it did showed up a lot more trojans than Avira is doing now :/
Re: Better Antivirus? - Kirby - 10-22-2010
I had Avira tell me a program I wrote was a trojan.
It resizes Minecraft to 720p / 1080p / default sizes :-\
