It takes up the least amount of diskspace on my laptop, so it does not interfere with my normal computer habits. It catches all the right spyware and malware without trying to delete healthy files, which other antivirus software often tries to do. The only downside is that it is not connected to the internet, so I occasionally check the AVG website to see if newer versions have been released.

It's the best. Aibek, if you're experiencing huge delays on startup, it's most likely time to update your processor. Also, try WinPatrol or Autoruns to see just what's truly going on at startup.

Each was acceptable. Eventually I gravitated to Nod32 which received the highest acclaim, for good reason. It shone brightly for several years, until it ran amok and rendered my entire copy on Windows inopertive. Nowadays I use Comodo, which seems to be working just fine.

I settled on F-Prot. After doing some research, I chose it because it is the best on keeping resource usage low. It is also inexpensive. One license covers 5 machines and the one license is cheaper than many of the others. It works well, as far as I can see, and it doesn't slow my machines down.
