Windows 7: what is the most light antivirus for mini laptop

hi
what is the most light antivirus for mini laptop ?



thank's in advance

I'd say the lightest AV is no AV, but if you really need one AFAIR very light AV is Avira Personal Free also this AV has very good detection rate:
AV-Comparatives - Independent Tests of Anti-Virus Software - Welcome to AV-Comparatives.org

I would go with MSE. All things considered, this is probably your best choice. http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

hi !

a-squared (a2) uses 620kB memory for realtime protection:

it seems to vary a little bit, depending on exactly what i´m doing,
1 hour ago it was 780kB, right now it´s 992kB.
but it stays below 1MB, doing it´s job in the background, can´t be much better can it ?

userinterface ~11MB
scanning: ~110MB, might go up to 180MB

a-squared (a2) is also very good at detecting, and has received several awards.

I'm using NOD32 but i don't know if it's really the "lightest" Antivirus...

On idle :
GUI : 1 556K (1 632 K when the antivirus Window is open)
KERNEL : 36 020K

While scanning system drive (Smart scan) :
GUI : 2 996K to 3 248K
KERNEL : MAX : ~55 000K -- AVR : ~41 000K
Max UC (on Dual-core) : 48% -- AVG : 2-30%

The best is to try. If it's too much of a hugger, uninstall and try another one. The only thing with NOD32, is that it takes just a little more time to start the computer. ^_^ ...and it's not free.

I've using Microsoft Security Essentials on my HP netbook with Windows 7, and it's doing a great job. Excellent protection and no slowdown of the system.

I use MSE on an XP with 512MB of RAM and it's like having no Anti Virus on it and I have not had any Anti Virus on it for 2 years so I know what fast is.

The most lightweight and good AV for you is Avast 5 beta.

Clamwin is very light; unfortunately it's also bloody useless!

Avira is nice and light.
