I'm sure this has been asked before a zillion times, but perhaps the info is outdated. What is the best anti virus program to use that is SIMPLE and not a resource hog? I used to use AVG, but the friggen program has so much crap with it now that it's nothing but a resource drain.

Anyone?

I used to use AVG and thought it was pretty good. Didn't think it was a resource hog.

Right now I switched to Avast! because I liked the fact that they allow you to reboot into DOS mode scanning. Highly rated.

Microsoft Security Essentials + Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (install/use both)

During my previous career in IT, endpoint security on single machines (or small deployments of under 5 clients,) were done with this:

ESET - Nod32

or their full SmartSecurity Suite.

It has one of the smallest footprints while taking top honors in threat detection:

comodo firewal+antivirus is not a bad combo.they are using slightly different approach,where user making the final decisions. imo worth to try. at least-if you don't like it-it won't ruin your PC during uninstall process. separate PC for browsing only + solid antivirus sitting on separate router is the way to go. at off course something like acronis for regular back ups

Eset looks good - but $60 bucks a year? Wow that's expensive.
