Turn it off if it's lagging the game.

Lovely advice, though I don't want to buy something that I will have to keep on doing that. I was looking for more of a detailed post.

Nod32 has the smallest footprint, if that's your main concern.

 

[g4m3rof1337]

I was asking other people, and apparently Kaspersky caught things NOD32 did not.

I'll do some more research as to which one is better.

 

[Buzz1927]

Kaspersky is better for known malware, but Nod32 is far superior for "in the wild" stuff, either one would be a good choice.

Now when you say Malware, would something like MalwareBytes be a reasonable replacement? With NOD32 running.

 

[Buzz1927]

Malwarebytes is a great program, the free version doesn't have real-time protection so will be fine to have alongside your AV.

So I should get the premium version and Nod?




Thanks.

Get Nod or Kaspersky, there's not much difference in the ram usage. They both have trial versions, so just see which you prefer. The free version of Malwarebytes will be fine, just update it and scan once a week.
