i'm looking for some antivirus software for my girlfriends PC. Its a 2.6Ghz with 256mb ram (soon to be atleast 512mb as its always all used.)
She recently got Norton 360 which has to be the biggest waste of space I've ever seen. I had the computer running perfectly before installation but once installed, the computer was practically unusable with it running even though it meets the minimum spec. I had to disable everything except the antivirus to make the computer usable, though it wasn't bearable so that got sent back! Even once it was uninstalled, it left so much crap behind that the computer still wasn't back up to speed. I've tried trawling though it all and tried a system restore but it wouldn't, so I'm just going to reformat.
Once its reformatted and OS is back on, i want to install a fast, very easy to use and understand, and reliable antivirus. what antivirus available in the shops would you recommend?
