[QUOTE="Weebarra, post: 734922, member: 60798"] Like you, i have no real knowledge about AV's but have tried a few and can only give you my experience on the ones i've tried. Bitdefender was very heavy on my machine (total security) absolute crap support from them whenever there were bugs and there were lots, resulting in me being left with no working AV on my machine for 3 days. Not much for you to configure either but affordable Kaspersky, i liked, more user friendly and you can configure more if you wish or just use it out of the box, affordable, i never needed support so can't comment on that, no nags to upgrade. Emsisoft (using now but had never even heard of it before i came to MT) fairly light, in fact, i was unsure it was even active because i was never annoyed by anything, a bit dearer than the other 2 mentioned but provides excellent support but doesn't include a firewall anymore so you will need to decide on one for yourself. If you want to configure whichever one you trial, there is lots of good advice on how to do that on MT, for the main part i just use them out of the box with no real configuring. [/QUOTE]
