No slowdown at all here, reasonably small footprint, excellent speed.
Actually I noticed NO difference when NIS 2009 and now 2010 were installed.
I think you guys are behind the times. McAfee I don't know about; haven't
used them in years.

Twayne:

You are correct, NIS 2010 is so much better than the last several
products I've used. In fact, NIS 2010 is the only AV software that I
have ever used that works so well that I will buy it again when my year
ends. There are a few places where it can be purchased for a very low price.

The very worst AV I ever used was Bit Defender 2009. 2008 was fairly
good but 2009 required almost weekly removal and re-install, just to get
it to work. Their 2010 version (thankfully I didn't try) has recently
crashed a huge number of computers. It deleted thousands of files from
any computers running Windows 7/64.

Those posting here that bad mouth NIS 2009 or 2010 are showing their
age, NIS once was bloated but not now.

Don't you think you are showing YOUR age by using NIS instead of WSE?

Wally:

What do you suggest as some of the best AV to use? What criteria do you
use to decide?

Thanks,

Many, many are ignorant of the last two year-titles of the product. That
often happens to closed minds. Come back when you know what you're talking
about.
