Hats off to sysmantec mind, updates are like clockwork and the norton report software is very clever.</p> <p>I would not recommend AVG, it is a beast of a thing and utterly pants.</p> <p>MSE or Avira were wonders and like a good AV program you never notice they are there.</p> <p>As for speed, a comprehensive test by toms hardware revealed, on a modern system that there is basically no difference in speed between running a PC with an anti virus suite and one without. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8729#post-44490 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 01:15:11 +0000 OnionPowder 44490@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I don't either so I just don't use them, :P. WIN then just start typing whatever program you want in and you're good to go for stuff that isn't on your desktop. It isn't much different than the W7 start menu, just outrageously fast when compared.</p> <p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/PmtKC8R.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/PmtKC8R.png</a> </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8729#post-44487 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:32:08 +0000 mathare92 44487@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Well, I don't like the tiles too much either. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8729#post-44486 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:12:24 +0000 OnionPowder 44486@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@mathare92, just get over the start button. Like anybody ever used it very often. Using the new start button to search through programs is even faster than the classic version. </p> <p>Win+D solves any problems with the new start menu. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8729#post-44485 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 22:05:33 +0000 Hcw87 44485@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Nothing comes close to Avira when it comes to free AV software, just look at a few AV tests like AV-comparatives for example. AVG is good, but it's not as good as Avira. Been using Avira on 3 separate PC's for around 5 years now with zero problems. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8729#post-44484 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 21:46:18 +0000 mathare92 44484@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>MSE isn't supported in Windows 8?! Oh, Microsoft. This tops the missing Start button for me, in the growing list of reasons why never to upgrade.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Upon further Googling, I've learnt that MSE in now built straight into Windows Defender and performs exactly as it did before. Start Button moves up to number one again. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8729#post-44483 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 20:59:41 +0000 Erthazus 44483@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>AVG - 100%</p> <p>It is the best right now becauser it is easy to use and it's not heavy for the system compared to NOD or Kaspersky. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8729#post-44482 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 20:15:32 +0000 sg1974 44482@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>MSE isn't in 8.
