Which AntiVirus for Laptop?

7 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/which-antivirus-for-laptop.119704/

I want an Antivirus OR Internet Securitry, etc for Laptop (Sony Vaio SR-46GD) having good configuration:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHhz, 4GB RAM, 512MB GPU, 250GB HDD

NOTE:
1: Antivirus SHOULD BE DISABLED at Startup.
I WILL ENABLE IT ONLY WHEN USING INTERNET.

2: I am a LOT CONCERENED about battery backup.
Battery Life is usually 4 hours, but it SHOULD remain same after
installing(using) Antivirus.
So, Antivirus should have NO IMPACT on Battery.

wat about KIS2009???

Disable KIS itself / Disable it from running @ startup

Enable it when manually when u'll b using internet.

Set scan feature "Dont scan if running on battery"

Well.........both ths features r supported by all antivirus(as far i knw)

KIS is gud........but u can go for ny other if u dnt like KIS personally.....

Just install any antivirus and disable it at startup

McAfee VirusScan Plus

My suggestion
Visit *www.mcafeestore.com/dr/sat3/ec_Mai...4&CUR=356&DSP=&PGRP=0&ABCODE=&CACHE_ID=120490

Only av that can be completely disabled frm start-up is kaspersky

check for AV with real time SPYWARE scanner @ High

AVAST is good - easy disable with single click

If I set Avast Service from Automatic to MANUAL in Servicers.msc,
Then delete it from StartUp via MsConfig.
Then it will not run at StartUp,

But here is another problem, whenever I have to Start Avast AntiVirus, I cannot click on START > Avast > Avast! AntiVirus, because it woun't start.
I have to go to Services.msc Then START the Service, then Start the Avast! Antivirus.
THIS IS A PROBLEM HERE.
