Posted November 21, 20159 yr comment_1479263 Up until today I had McAfee running on my machine. Looks like I need to purchase something new (not excluding McAfee). Just wondering what everyone is running currently. I'm hoping to pick up something that isn't a resource hog.

November 21, 20159 yr Author comment_1479265 I use Eset, and one of the primary reasons was because it is not a resource hog. That it works well is just a bonus...I don't think I've heard of it. What OS on you running currently? My machine just gave me the okay for Windows 10 (the notebook came with windows 8).Edit: Are you using Eset anti-virus or the smart-security?

November 21, 20159 yr comment_1479266 Currently on Windows 7, though I'll probably make the jump to 10 sometime next week. I'm using the Antivirus as I don't need all of the bells and whistles. IT guy, remember?
November 21, 20159 yr Author comment_1479267 I just didn't see the bonus to grabbing the smart-security. It installed FAST! I'll try the trial and if it works I'll probably go with a 2 year subscription.
November 21, 20159 yr comment_1479268 I've been quite happy with it, from speed to updates. I had been using McAfee but it kept causing blue screens Edited November 21, 20159 yr by Elflocko
November 21, 20159 yr comment_1479284 I've been using Symantec Endpoint Protection for my Win7 that i got for free when I still had access to the military's version of it. I'm likely gonna upgrade to Win10 in Dec when I am on vacation.

November 21, 20159 yr comment_1479300 Just installed windows 10. Seems Very fast to me. The interfaces is a little different. I miss my 'swipe from the right' and just searching for an app...My biggest complaint about it
November 21, 20159 yr comment_1479309 What is this then?http://buy.symantec.com/estore/clp/productdetails/pk/endpoint-protectionInteresting, as previously it was only available to businesses. With it being Symantec, I wonder what's the catch...
November 22, 20159 yr comment_1479397 Using the built in windows antivirus windows defender. Been using it for years since back when it was called one care. It takes care of it's self and I don't worry about anything.

It takes care of it's self and I don't worry about anything. Yes, that is certainly an option. I don't recommend it yet as until very recently it performed abysmally in AV tests. If it continues to score at least in the 95th percentile going forward I'll be able to recommend it.
