Virus security?

by Statti • 13 Sep 2008, 13:15 • Journals
I'm currently using norton (Its CRAP) and I wonder whether it can lower my fps in ET? I'm thinking of changing virus security and I would like to know what should I pick. I'm thinking of fsecure or avast. Should I pick one of those or do u know something more suitable? Prefer free ones..

Just checked a rating for avast and it was awful compared to nod32

don't use any. Just use your common sense and you're not likely to pick up any major viruses

In add of that a router with NAT is an effective block for viruses :p

If you want to take new anti virus, take Avast, its good enough. Only gives me fps drops when its updating (usually takes +/- 8 seconds)

Avast home edition is free right? Should I take it?

Its free idd, you get a trial for 60 days, after that you have to register for a 1-year edition etc etc (doesnt cost money though).
And I never had problems with it, like I said only a fps drop when it auto updates which lasts around 8 seconds. It's free and nice enough for me though :)

hax

Avast is nice if you turn "Auto-Update" off and don't forget to do it manually sometimes

I had norton pre installed when i got my PC a few years ago.. It definetly causes some lag. I use AntiVir atm, and i've not had any problems.

once you will install nod32, you will find those buggers antivir couldnt find :p
happened to me :(
i was sure i was safe :'(

I'm using fsecure.
fps in timedemo when it's closed = 118
fps in timedemo when it's on = 113

Make your own conclusion about that =d

Avira is best actuallyxD And it's free if u don't want a security suite..

avg is good

i know fsecure works good but it's a pain in the ass... as are most security shitty things

what century do you guys live? :D i mean,if you can't get stable 125fps @ ET then you shouldn't play it. 5 years old game,graphics ain't even good and you still strugle with 50fps. plz
