I'm using the beta version of Live One Care (1.5.1824.14) and i can't say
i've noticed any slowing down of the system

32 or 64 bit ?

Last time I looked (RC1) AVG Free was not available for 64 bit systems.

Free AntiVirus
Posted: 03-21-2008, 06:58 PM
I need a free antivirus program that I can leave disabled and one that I
don't have to disable everytime I start up the ol laptop. I'm using Vista and
I have tried AVG, AntiVir, and Avast!, none of which will let me permanently
disable on startup.

I need an antivirus program (who doesn't?), but I do not need one running
all the time.

Any suggestions?

Yes, forget your current thinking and find one, like AVG and Avast,
that uses as little of the cpu and memory as possible. To think one
does not need an anti-virus is the person that will forget to turn it
on when they do need it. Test for the smallest footprint, Kaspersky
may be another to look at, and stick with it.

I tried phone sex once, but the holes were too small.
