AhnLab V3 Lite First impressions.
Very nice and siple GUI. Very light on system. Low ram. No delays in applications and on boot time. Need 300MB disk space after instalation. No advertising. Good against malware sites. Phishing protection absolutely zero.

Uninstall
AhnLab V3 Lite. Antivirus is very nice, but work is needed by ahnlab to be able to have customers from Europe. Support is still in Korean language. He has problems with the updates. Μaybe it does not have a servers in Europe? I dont know why. Βecause when you log on to their page is very slow. The download is very very slow and for the exe and for the virus signatures. For this Ahnlab it try to update signatures and because the download is very slow it send alert error. If the problems are corrected, it will be a very good free protection. At present on my opinion not recommend

I used the free version. I dont know Voodoo shield so much, as I just recently started to use it. But I think even the free version should be kosher, as it simply deny any executables being run. Another thought I had, was to get Hitman Pro or Zemana premium, with VS pro. Then they could make a scan just when you opened the computer, and after that just let VS run and deny everything you didn't approve. It would be a very light set up, but still pretty untouchable as VS would make sure nothing strange started to make problems.

@Nevi VS free or pro version? I'm interested but difficult to find a guide for recommended settings

I suggest installing it and getting very familiar with the GUI. In either version you have a choice of 3 main modes and 4 "security postures". These are all explained via flyouts. In Pro there are probably seven substantive options which you may enable/disable. Basically it is this: more restrictions = more alerts. You really need to install it to see the current UI since the User Guide on the website is a bit outdated. Once you are familiar with the UI you will understand better. (y)

@Nevi VS free or pro version? I'm interested but difficult to find a guide for the recommended settings
And with free version with default settings you are super secure

Can u please check If Weebroot writes tons of useless data in program data (WRdata folder) :unsure:

I dont know whether it's to me amico, but I have only tried to have around 4-5 MB. And I have used it a lot. But I think WSA do that writing if you download a lot of questionable files. Then WSA have to have those files watched all the time, hence all the writing. If you dont download a lot of new files, I have a feeling it wont happend. I could be wrong tho, it's just how I feel all the writing happends.
