I loaded Avira, seems decent, but doesn't seem any more trading pc friendly then avg 8. Maybe I'm missing something but here's my point. Avira w/ the guard active uses about 50-60mb of memory. I'm assuming that if I turn the guard off I won't have realtime detection. Also, every time the pc reboots the guard is active, is there a way to keep it off by default.
The program either started in reg HKLM/.../Startup, or in Adminstrative Tools/Services. You can either use Hijackthis to remove it or modify it to keep from starting automatically by changing the option in Services.
Interesting, I'll keep an eye on itQuote from RL8093:
Recently I installed Avira on one of the family PCs. I had 50-60mb usage for 2 days. The 3rd day (& thereafter), it used less than 10mb. My son also loaded it on his rig & it uses less than 10 mb...

Am I correct in assuming that if the guard isn't running I don't have realtime av detection?
I'm using Avira AntiVir now.
I was using Avast, but there was a problem whereby that spinning blue thing would not stay active in the tray at the bottom.
I tried reinstalling it, going to Avast Forums for a solution, and for whatever reason, couldn't get to stay active.
Avira is great but doesn't have email scanning.

Mine did drop to under 10mb as well, sometimes a lot less. Upon restart it does go back up to the 50mb+ range but then drops w/in 20mins. I guess there's a new sherif in town.
Avast > AVG
I now have Avast! working properly.
