Indeed. No matter which security you go with, one good one is far better than two outstanding ones. Myself, I prefer Eset's Nod32.
once the Gateway, upgraded from XP to 7 was finally back in service, , I was disappointed with the somewhat sluggish performance when one of those W7 Action Center notices pointed out that I was running both Windows Defender and Eset 4. the folly of two such programs and recommended turning one of them off. I decided to turn off Windows Defender and have observed marked improvement in performance. Running WE7.2, W7-32 Home Premium and Office 2003 on a new Western Digital 1.5 and Seagate 1.0 TB Hd, 4GB VDR2 RAM, Intel Dual core 3.0 on a new main board. So far? Very impressive. I never thought, well, yes, I knew, I'd come around to W7. I'd go to Office 10 but I hear MS Office Document Imaging and MS Office Document Scan have come up missing from the Suite... Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson! Too far off topic!

In the documentation for Vipre it says to disable the active protection. That makes since because both Vipre and avast use system resources and there are just so many to go around no matter how much ram you have. I find Vipre premium easy to use and works well on my system. On 9/27/2010 5:06 AM, Les and Jane Kriegler wrote: > Interesting.
