| 457029 | 2006-05-23 06:37:00 | I use anti-vir myself. I've heard that Avast is just as resource hungry as Nortons. | Greven (91) | ||
| 457030 | 2006-05-23 08:29:00 | I use anti-vir myself. I've heard that Avast is just as resource hungry as Nortons. I would tend to agree. I tried Avast for about two weeks around 1 months ago and found it slowed (lagged would better fit how it felt) my PC. My PC is a AMD64 3800+ with 2 gigs of ram (upper mid spec system). Ended going back to AVG, however felt Avast had better features, but speed is more important to me. |
