I'm running Bit Defender, 2nd highest rated by PC World last month. three licenses for $39 direct from BD. has a 'laptop' mode for battery savings

I have a netbook (not this one in particular) but one with like styled specs...I bought the CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2009...that I got from "FeeBAY" for $5.00 including shipping. So far no problems...but I did have to get an external drive so not sure how much of a savings it really was...........since the external drive was $65.00.

Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus + Malwarebytes Anti-MalwareI install both on every PC I work onhttp://www.download.com/windows/security-software/stay away from Norton.it's not worth itDisable the Avira AntiVir avnotify nag screenhttp://www.elitekiller.com/files/disable_antivir_nag.htm

I use Norton Internet Security 2009. I had an extra license as you get 3 with each purchase. I got it for $20 via pricegrabber.com. At the time, only a few security suites support 64 bit vista.The 2009 version doesn't slow down your system like previous versions of Norton. For sure, someone will say it's a resource hog. It's simply not the case for the 2009 version.

I'm using the free version of Avast. It is highly reviewed and so far is running seamlessly. Also I loaded Spybot, since Avast does not have a malware module.

On initial logon, the CPU was at 99% and antimalware was consuming over half the cpu. Uninstalled trial Norton and Mcafee plus all the other trial software, applied updates and works fine. It's the crapware that comes with this computer that slows it down. Simple fix.

Will this stick remove the Groovorio virus? And it is really any better than free programs like SuperAntiSpyware? If it can't remove the trojan viruses, like someone mentioned here, what else does it not help remove? I need help with the biggie things.

Did you manage to upgrade the RAM - I am holding on to my purchase for the same. I am comparing betn Aspire One 533 and 1015PED. Aspire one RAM upgrade is as nightmare as it was with eee pc 1008HA. Wondering what's the scene with this one.Please let us know.

I have no idea; I have never had your type of problem. I can only say that it is extremely effective in knocking out viruses.

Sorry, Eugene...I do not have an answer for you. BUT, there should be a Customer Service number from Webroot and they should be able to help at the Company Site. (I do not have the AntiVirus Download. I have the Internet Security Plus system.)

I no longer use McAfee, It by far is the worst anti virus program. Save yourself a huge hassle and get Vipre. I've been using it for 2014 and got the lifetime contract and LOVE it. I truly believe that McAfee is a virus itself.

The one I got would not allow me to set it up 'my way'. When I change the home page it reverts back to the original on IE and Chrome. Each time a request is made in ANY program, there is a delay of several seconds, then a series of pop-ups. It came with McAfee installed, and it see's no malicious software. I have set up one prior Win 8 computer, with no issues, and two prior Lenova - one laptop and a desktop - both Win 7 with no problems. I bought the Lenova this time due to the good experiences with Lenova. It could be I got the only possessed Lenova laptop, but until I know for sure, I cannot recommend it.

I believe that "smart security" edition has a broader spectrum of protection that just the antivirus; the antivirus being the centerpoint of the SS edition, but I don't know this for sure. I have found the antivirus to be adequate without further protection. Always remember that increased security means committing more of your computer's resources to that security. In programs like Norton and AVG, this cuts down on performance and subjugates your computer to those security programs.

You usually don't need an antivirus. I use history eraser &advanced; task killer on the regular &it; seems to keep my phone clean.

DAB, It's really easy to say that about anything... It's an opinion. I've used every machine you've posted and feel the 1000he was the best choice. I couldn't stand the NC10's mouse trackpad (way too small) and found the right shift key on the 1000he fine. The function key on the right side of the 1000he is also a HUGE plus. Add in the longer battery life and slightly better CPU (not a huge deal, but still a plus) the 1000he fares better... especially when I got the 1000he for more than $100 LESS than the NC10.

It comes with a free trial of McAfee. Right now I just use Avast, it's free and it works.

I haven't had one on my computer in the 6 years that I've had it. I have always used 360 or some type of Norton Antivirus. But they say 24 tech support so I can only assume that they help remove any viruses you may encounter. I am not 100% sure so you may want to contact them directly before purchasing

No, not that i remember. they may be a free trial or something. I´ve always gone with AVG free protection. check it out

Update to my last post. It turns out the issue was with my antivirus not the scanner software. I got it installed and it is working great on my Windows 8 system.

BOB: Disable your anti virus, and delete the game, then keep your anti virus disabled and then re-download the game again, then activate your anti virus. Let me know, Please.

I'm sure the issue is only affecting those two, if I heard correctly those are current bugs that are being worked on during the beta updates Mac gives. Even if it wasn't caused by an update, those are apple related products and should not affect the Antivirus program . Either way the deal is nice and you may as well buy it now.
