That's right :) and I'm enjoying it compared to Kaspersky IS 2009, because of the speed, and I hope it is as secure as Kaspersky, but I think so.

I am using AVG Free Edition and I have had no problems after an update and restart. Although, I use McAfee on my other partition containing XP.

thats why you use eset nod32 :D

Eset SSv4 let me download the last two, as did Avast.
Both wouldn't let me open them though.
This was on XP pro (Eset) and W7 7127 (Avast).

the best antivirus should not allow you to download in the first place... Atleast I can vouch for F-Secure...
 
Im running Avira, ive had previous faith in AVG, It runs well, but consumes a bit more ram then id like, so Avira was my choice after :)

True and if there really was one, perfect AV im sure we would all be using it.
I like Avast and Eset for various reasons and both will keep my PC's safe, just in different ways.
I see no security risk by downloading those tests as they cant do anything so im not worried but i agree, its best not to have them there at all.

I'm using Avira and so far i'm very happy with it.

I agree,

Used Avast when i first installed RC, Found it too much a performance hog

Norton Antivirus 2009. Had been using others including AVG for some time on my systems. Norton feels lite to me and should be adequate. This version of from symantec uses about 7meg across two processes on my system

I used AVG Internet Security 8.0 when I was on Vista, well I''m still using it now. Nothing like all the security features a computer needs all squeezed into one qute icon that sits silently in your tray. AVG rules.

With AVG restart time was 238s O_o.
WowZ! Either you have many programs installed, either your harddrive is totally.... exausted.
Never had such problems though. I currently have 45 programs installed and install something new almost every day. Try removing some of your other startup programs that you don't need. Start > msconfig > Startup. Just uncheck anything you don't need and you're done!
