Avast! Free 5.1 final vs Comodo Internet security 5.0

Hello, I have an Acer Aspire One netbook running Windows 7 Home Premium, and I need protection. It only has 1GB of RAM, so would I get Avast! free 5.1 or Comodo internet security 5.0? I was thinking of maybe MSE 2.0, but heard it is not RAM friendly.

I wouldnt use Comodo AV since its hasnt been tested and it has an okay detection. The backbone of the whole suite of comodo is the D+ which is a HIPS.

Why not use Avast Free + Comodo FW w/ D+? You get a very good AV and an excellent firewall+hips program.

Actually , nothing you'd worry about ..: Look at my task/Manag ..:

I have avast Pro/Internet security with full time protection
It runs about 6,7MB ..

I used Avast on my Laptop before I got rid of it, its a great AV, considering its freeware Avast gives good protection.

Ok, so far it looks like Avast will be the one on my netbook. I did like MSE 1.0, but MSE 2.0 has gotten more of a "memory hog" comparing to Avast. Plus, Avast has Web Shield, P2P, Network, Behavior, File system, Mail, and IM shields, and it still uses less memory that MSE 2.0.

Go for it !
