Dec 28, 2009 12:01 | #12 I'm currently using Microsoft Security Essential on 4 computers. It's not resource hungry like many other AV software. I've been very happy with it.

When I used a PC I never found any of the softwares to be that "good" and still got viruses from simply browsing the internet.

Four hours most days. I agree. I've been using the free version of AVG for quite some time. It seems to have gotten a bit more bloated over the last several versions.
