ok, I've been using avast for a while now. but it's starting to piss me off. sure I've never gotten a virus and I dont notice it slowing my computer, and it doesn't false flag things for me
but it DOUBLES my TCP connections and my internet can't handle that shit. so, I want a good antivirus that wont lag my computer or internet. I not looking for free either I'll pay a reasonable price for something good (considering I haven't had to worry about money in a while).
I've been using Microsoft Security Essentials for a while now and I can say that I am satisfied. In combination with that, I also use "Spybot - Search and Destroy" as anti-spyware and PeerBlock as firewall.
I also use Microsoft security essentials, and its honestly the best freeware I've used with no ads and what not. Its the only protection I have but I haven't gotten so much as an annoying search engine change with it... I'm going to check out those programs blizz mentioned aswell
Well, I use Win8 now, but when I used XP and 7, I used MSE as well, and it worked great for me. Never found one that topped it either.
