Question: What is the best anti virus for my toshiba netbook?

(Posted by: yariyara on 2010-04-13 15:13:39)

I recently bought a Toshiba net book with Windows 7 starter. I want to keep it secure and protected. It came with a free Norton trial but it's almost over. Which is the best anti virus for a person that surfs the web a lot, checks emails, watches videos and movies online, and often downloads documents from blackboard learning system (a website for my internet college courses)?

Go with AVG, they have free and non-free options, depending on your circumstance, I would just do free.

I recommend NOD32 from eset.com It is very good at protecting your computer and does not take up many resources.

Probably Avast! 5. Very light on system resources. answers.yahoo.com/ question/ index;_ylt= AtAAF3lv7MLeUxfxTxYYW6cw5XNG;_ylv= 3?qid= 20100413145734AAIOTsf

Personally I'd go with the Norton NIS. However, there are others in this PC Magazine review. I suggest you choose one of the better ones. pcmag.com/ article2/ 0,2817,2351871,00.asp
