I’ve been liking BitDefender at home for virus protection. BitDefender doesn’t use as many computer resources as some of the other major packages, and provides good protection. It’s been a solid performer for me.
But there’s a new kid on the block, and it’s great. If you’re open to purchasing software for protecting your computer, consider Sunbelt Software‘s VIPRE™. Combining antivirus and antispyware in one package, VIPRE provides real-time protection and uses relatively little of your computer’s precious CPU and memory.
