Battle antivirus for old machine

[taipun]

vote lightest antivirus

ESET could probaby run smoothly on any machine I think.

The lightest: Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus.

The lightest: Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus.

Good luck with Webroot unless they have greatly improved the program since I last used it JMO.

I use Avast. With that configuration Comodo and Avira will do fine. For lower spec like that, I don't install an AV, I just use Threatfire

 

[Littlebits]

Avira Free without web protection is the lightest that I have tried, runs excellent on my old XP 128MB of RAM, Intel Celeron single core processor 1.2Mhz. This system would hardly even boot using most other AV's.

Enjoy!!

Somebody with money to burn.

Maybe a stripped down Avast with Sandboxie.

Although a HIPS with Sandboxie and a couple of on demand scanners are my favourites for any system.

If it helps, avast! seems to be working perfectly, and is fairly light on my system. Haven't felt any System slowdown and It's been up and running with all shields fine. Within a day of Emsisoft IS, I noticed a huge system slowdown so well done to avast! there.

My vote goes to Avira! (as Littlebits said "I do not like to pay for an AV especially for an old PC") so Avira!
