for now I recommend to have Avira or other free AVs as backup AV scanner
now days most trojans crypted specifically to defeat Nod32, Kaspersky, other popular AVs in the commercial market and even sandbox softwares e.g. sandboxie because I managed to bypass many AVs definition with ready made tools except Avira, some on free AVs (AVG/Avast) and other unpopular AVs.

Either AVG or Avira (both Free version anyway) but not both (actively). However, you could install both but only have 1 active online scanner, while the other one is on demand scanner.

Are you sure AVG8 come with antispyware? Last time I check at AVG website, they said AVG8 Free doesnt come with antispyware anymore.

Furthermore, if you look at av-comparative.org, AVG there is FULL (paid version, which has HIPS etc). AVG free, for my own preference is too basic and the result in av-comperative doesn't reflect actual AVG free performance. Due to this reason, I prefer to have AVIRA Antivir PE as my main antivirus since it has same capability as the paid one without POP3 scanner..thats all.

note : if you are smart enough and not simply install every single piece of freeware from WWW, spyware problem is over rated. Spyware will only come if you explicitly install certain software which their author purposely embedded spyware or adware in their software. If you need to install non-recognize software (spyware free certified), please ask uncle google

After all, common sense is the best protection

Just my 2 sen.

i removed my real-time av protection long time ago and now will just let it scan on schedule once a day, so far so good. what difference does it make to
have real time av running and hogging 30% of your ram

my avira real-time protection only use up a total 15MB of my 1GB RAM. To me it's worth it when it warns me about impending disaster of virus/trojan contained in the files that I'm trying open.

Edit: i was wrong, only 10MB

there's big difference, if you let your guard down, it's maybe too late when the damage is done... nowday, virus / trojan will likely targets important document files...

avast home (free version) ate quite a bit of memory and CPU cycle the last time i used it, compared to other free antivirus like AVS (Kaspersky 6), AVG or even Avira

Having one AV with real-time protection is good. Better to be safe than sorry.

TS, what you need is fast definition update and build in spyware protection right??
avast is the best choice...since Version 4.8.1169, avast already build in spyware protection and rootkit protection...and the newest version is 4.8.1229..

I use two AV myself on the basis that no AV is 100% perfect...I use NOD32 as my main realtime AV and Avira Free as my secondary and backup scanner with the realtime scan turn off....I have never had any virus attack and lag/hang problem...This dual AV setup is usefull during my college times when many pendrive will cucuk at my system...Nway this is my opinion.

My pc have 0 antivirus and is working super fine.

If u dont simply click/surf/download stuffs then its pretty safe.

btw 2 or more antivirus is a no no
[right][snapback]18638696[/snapback][/right]

yes. this is fine, but i personally would put at least 1 la just in case. it's helpful.

nevertheless, best protection is USER.

Don't forget sql injection infection... Direct to your computer even it's a valid and well known as safe, but turn out not so safe...

i think just use AVG, between it's not necessary to have two AVs in your comp. Just don't surf suspicious website, simply download stuff and click on pops up.. And the AV might detect each other as virus too, sometimes
