I use ESET NOD32 antivirus and have no memory hogging problems on my computer.
Also haven’t had a virus infect my computer and not be found, quarantined or cleaned since around 2005.
Running Win 7 (64-bit), 6GB or RAM.
I appreciate that. ESET is at the top of my short list for replacing MSSE if the time comes. If I recall what I looked up last month, ESET & Avast both benchmarked at the top of the list. I’ve had Avast, but I’ve also had it pass malware when in ‘renew mode’ but not expired (still angry about that...same thing happened with NAV almost 10 years ago).
I simply need to get my system upgraded to a quad core + (since I stopped gaming on the pc I’m lagging a bit in that department, to say nothing of disposable income the past couple years).
