Yeah, im still using avast and it seems to keep the boot time fine. I used AVG and it seemed to slow down a LOT
Really? AVG is by far the fastest least-noticeable anti-virus program I've used. My pc loads up with AVG, Winamp and msn messenger in under a minute ready to go, and it isn't the most powerful computer in the world.
Yeah, i was really surprised. But it seemed that before the login menu popped up it would take an age with AVG installed while avast seemed to solve it. Not sure why though, i just say someone on the net with the same problem and they fixed it that way.
Would highly recommend Comodo's free offering. Sys defence a little whiny tho, so usually disable that part after install and just run the AV and Firewall components.
Never liked AVG - can't fully disable from the SysTray like almost every other AV on the market, which can cause headaches for those apps which require the AV to be disabled for a clean install. Way to many false positives as well.
Microsoft has its own antivirus software that will work with Windows 7 called Microsoft Security Essentials. To learn more please go here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
