Not much.
Around 15 MB RAM for Comodo. Went to 40 MB once during a scan. (1 process at 16 MB)
around 12 MB for AVAST at idle. (2 processes one at 9 MB and one at 3 MB)
CPU is pretty stable.
Tbh, my new computer is so fast I can't even tell the difference between Norton 360 and AVAST / Comodo...
Having bought an SSD, I can say every penny was worth it. I enjoy my 8 seconds start-up from the push of the button. and programs open up in an instant. It's the best decision you could make, that will significantly increase computer performance. Just make sure you have another internal 3.5" HDD...
I Found Comodo Internet security (FREE version) on their site. It feels pretty zippy, feels promising. I wonder if it auto scans emails for viruses? AVAST has a real-time scanner for emails. :/
What's the major difference between "anti virus" and "internet security" suites. Is it just that the internet security suite comes with a firewall? (Which Windows has any ways)
Yes, this is a very good and well known anti-virus program. I don't think the paid version comes with anti-spam (apparently my mum used to use Norton anti-spam before - like pre 2005 when my comp could handle it's somewhat less bloated software, but yeah I dunno if she still does).
Does anti...
Yeah tried AVG once, wasn't impressed with it's cluttered UI and ads. AVAST was much cleaner and I found it to be more zippy. Both provide a similar level of security. Would any one recommend using Commodo firewall or zone alarm? or is windows firewall good enough?
btw, this PC is for online...
Okay so I had Avast V 6 FREE installed on it before and it ran fine. But ever since we bought Norton 360 V 5, 5 user pack. My old comp runs slow, even though it exceeds the system requirements.
Norton's system req:
300 MHz or faster processor
256 MB of RAM; 512...
I've never heard of Comptia A+ But I did Cert II in I.T back in high school. If you do well at school I'd recommend choosing a degree in I.T. If not just do some certificates or go to TAFE / private college.
lol year 11 was a joke. All the teachers look down at year 11s and devote their time to the year 12s. I guess all you can do in year 11 is try what study methods best work well for you, and learn those foundation topics well.
