AVG doesn't seem to clean up after itself so over a period of time its virtual memory use gets pretty high. A corollary is that about that time it presents a big popup announcing that a reboot is necessary (presumably due to an update), and won't take 'no' for an answer (although it allows delays up to 24 hours). I hate rebooting b/c I invariably have several things on-going.

I am using trend micro at work and MSE for personal laptop, both are good. bit-defender and kaspersky are good if you want to buy one.

I used AVG Free Internet Security which also provide Antivirus protection approx 2 years, still I didn't find any VIRUS, Malware and trojan horse problem in my system...
Don't watch the clock;
Do what it does.
Keep going.....

I use MSE and don't browse dodgy websites and had no problems

Personally, I really like ESET.
It is fast and Flexible.
When I renew, the new expiration date applies to all connected computers.
It has one Issue. If you want to use it over a VPN, it wants to scan each file you touch over the VPN, no way to indicate to not do this, but to keep scanning network drives. Network drives are fast, VPN is typically really slow.

Second that. Used it for years, never had a problem. Doesn't take over, but does the job.

Every now and then (like, every 2 years or so), I try to install one, only to find out that it slows compilation time by a LOT.
I've learned to live without it - namely, just learn things to avoid.

John, you are a trusting soul.
The better solution, tell it not to scan your source code files!
Most viruses are binary, there is no real reason to be scanning TXT,C,H, etc files.
PDF Files. YEAH.
I would spend the 10-15 minutes you need to tune your compile time performance.
I am INCREDIBLY safe with my surfing. Switched to web based mail to avoid downloading
stuff to my machine, etc.
I don't let my scanner scan my oracle ORA files or the Oracle Data Folder DBF Files.
By eliminating those files that are accessed all the time, but not binary, I think you
can get an optimal solution that is a FAST Computing Experience that has decent safety.

Hehe, when it comes to my computer, I would say I am the exact opposite.
Anyway, long story short - 10-15 minutes of customizing the antivirus will never really do it. As said, I would try doing just that, with really crappy results.
Anyway, the 2 year mark will come soon, so I'll try again 
Best,
John

Not sure if anyone else already posted this here, don't see it in the first few pages, so here goes.
Looks interesting.

Nish, Apologies that I am off-topic, but I am curious: Were you able to solve the laptop issue with two displays in Windows 10?

No, I have resigned myself to using it in extended mode until a driver update fixes the issue.
I haven't posted on the Nvidia forums yet - mainly because there are other threads related to the same core issue. That said it may be an issue with the Intel graphics driver too.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I do believe you have no other option, unfortunately.

I have to say that for a company whose bread and butter is search, I can't understand why searching a pile of Google seems to be so broken.
Google: I'm staring at the file yet your search seems not to think it exists.

I think the head search engineer is leaving the company. No search engineer, no search.

On Android, if you use the default messaging application you can't search through your text messages... you would think somebody at Google would have though, "maybe we should make all these messages searchable", novel concept.

Which phone and which version of Android?
I've got a $59 xperia e1 with Android 4.4.2 and it searches just fine, refining the live results with each additional character added to the input box.

Nexus, so latest and greatest version of Android.
What search are you talking about? ...I'm referring to searching through your text messages.
|
|
|
|
|
Ooh, that's a bit of a disappointment.
Yeah, same. While I'm in messages (with no conversations open), I just open the menu and select search.
Search isn't an option if I've got one open, i.e you search all conversations with everyone anytime you search for anything.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, that option doesn't exist in their messaging app in the latest Android versions.
