| Being an IT Professional I have used any and all AV's available out there. everything from the AVG Free, to the corporate versions of Kaspersky, SAV (Norton), and Mcafee. NOD32 kicks all of their asses. it finds stuff that SAV just can't or won't. and it takes up about 1/3 the proc and memory of Kaspersky. This is the best out there by far. | |||

| CPU only shoots up while scanning compressed files, RAM is not an issue. | |||

| Been trying out the Eset for a while. Does use up a lot of ram, needed spybot to get rid of stuff it let let by(even on a tight security setting). But have a look at the I/O 's after a 20 min run : 9.5 million i/o, even explorer has only 150k. Ram may not be it's only issue. But then again, to each his own :-) | |||

| ekrn.exe is slowing down my Internet connection. Uses 40-60% of CPU for a minute or two after starting up Mozilla Firefox. When combined with Spysweeper, the two are a pain, but just when initially connecting. On 7MB cable. | |||
