hey everyone, i'm setting up a new development machine, and need a virus scanner and firewall for it. I'm sick of paying for norton and its daily scans.
For a virus scanner I want somethign that will keep my machine secure, running quietly in the background and use as little system resources as possible.
for a firewall i want something that will ask me about each program that is accessing the internet and if i want to block it, and low resources, and secure of course.
virus scanner ill probably go with avast, but theres always the debate over avg and avast, just wondering what real peoples opinions were.
TIA
