I never use one but i got a virus or something so i thought i'd be good to have one.
I use windows 7 and i want an antivirus that doesnt drain on my cpu alot.
what is an antivirus worth investing in / one you use?

Are you looking for a graphics card, or an anti-virus >_<?

Anyways, Microsoft Security Essentials is pretty much enough, it does its job and doesn't use a lot of CPU.

I've done a lot of research into this in the past and I agree that Microsoft Security Essentials is the best in terms of protection and low reseource usage. Don't let the fact that it's from Microsoft fool you

Lol okay thanks,

I use Avira, and it seems to work pretty good.

Agreed. It's the first thing microsoft has done right in a long time. I use a combo of programs to keep my PC running smoothly though. Microsoft Security essentials is one of them along with SpyBot - S&D (TeaTimer disabled) and a regular run of CCleaner. Never once had any troubles.

switched from avira to AVG and nothing has happened in forever nothing bad that is

i use kaspersky and i find it to be the best, even after trying microsoft security essentials i found kaspersky to be better yet using more resources

AVG, it's free so you can't really go wrong.
