Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

Simply.. Evolution !!
The main AV process is hidden and is not shown directly. Considering this Avira takes about 2MB. :)

I Don't think so ...
Which one is hidden ??

And regarding avira - that is idle usage rite ?? ( I remember it beeping 20 while ordinary usage )
Avast uses 1.5-3 MB what about that ??
NIS uses 6-7 MB
ya esset v4 too really low

Nothing really big !

Ya independent lab scores raise Avira to the Top ..
But the free version without a powerful firewall like comodo can put your security to hell ..

Wanna check ??
Get an experimental environment
Go to MDL --> exclude trojans and viruses ( all AV amash those )
get spyware,worms,rootkits

Well we can see how far can Avira do !

At least a 10 new process will pop-up and hook u up !
Congratulations ! you are under the prey of malware
Every 5 mins your internet explorer would pop-up giving Ads .... so so and so


But the next version of smart security utilizes around 45MB of RAM :-D
I mean the smart security v5 beta

Free RAM is unused RAM. That's how I look at these things. ;) (unless alarming) When you are using some memory consuming program, Windows will automatically reduce the memory allocated to background processes.

Saw on process explorer Avira also takes about 2-10 MB.

Not in my case at least. :)

Unfortunately i Don't have Avira installed at this time - I can't install it again to explore the RAM ..

So here is a screen !

^ Do u think that's a huge difference ??

If i were asked i won't mind to spare 7 seconds in delay for a system boot ..
I ain't gonna catch the train in seven seconds ..

The impact score was almost the same ...


Depends on each of their needs !!

I Don't use neither of those two !

Avast ! - I hate the network hogging proxy network shield !
--------Misses most spyware and unknown threats ( Solution: emsisoft anti malware )

Avira - I have if cause super flagging of non-malware as malware ..
- Without a Firewall like comodo - I will never recommend it !
- Didn't recover my friends ( 2 of them ) system - avast boot time scan did

... All have their own pros and cons ..
It is for us to decide and chose for our needs !
