MSE is too heavy for my PC...

[BDani]

I'd like to install a GOOD anti virus which is also light on the RAM
I'v heared about Panda Cloud... Is it anygood?

Im seek of Avira and MSE...

How is it too heavy? You have 4GB of RAM.

 

[BDani]

Im not talking about the current one Im using.
I got another PC which is pretty old...

 

[parabellum]

ESET comes to mind.

 

[BDani]

Great! I'll consider that
Umm.. What about Panda Cloud?

 

[parabellum]

That'll do the job too, although I prefer resident protection on my systems.

 

[BDani]

I'v heared Panda is kinda lame but their latest version is great!
Is that true? Also Consider that I have SandBoxie and MalwareBytes

 

[parabellum]

The free version is missing some features you won't miss but it will probably nag you to upgrade it. What are the specs of the older PC?

 

[BDani]

1GB of RAM.
Some pentium 4 CPU
Nvidia GT 6400

Linux OS but Im gonna install XP soon

 

[parabellum]

MSE will run on that with no problem as will the other choices.

 

[BDani]

NOD32: 32 MB RAM (depending on OS)
MSE:

• For Windows XP, a PC with a CPU clock speed of 500 MHz or higher, and 256 MB RAM or higher.
• For Windows Vista and Windows 7, a PC with a CPU clock speed of 1.0 GHz or higher, and 1 GB RAM or higher.

Panda Cloud: 64 MB RAM

WOW... MSE is really heavy...

 

[parabellum]

Those specifications are the recommendations for the OS requirements to run. If XP runs fine, then you won't have any problems.

Ive read that the agreement you have to sign before useing pandas free a/v gives them access to your computer whenever they would like to the point of you not haveing any privacy reguarding your files or the info on them. Has anybody else heard this?

 

[Francis93]

Avast is light on RAM.

 

[BDani]

I installed NOD32... takes 2.5 MB... I think that's awesome. Also I'v read in AV-Comparatives - Independent Tests of Anti-Virus Software - Welcome to AV-Comparatives.org that NOD32 is awesome!

 

[parabellum]

Good choice.
