I know we have had the discussion about preferred anti-virus software a thousand times. But I ask the question again, from a different perspective.
Q. What should I put on my netbook? (Atom N280).
(On my workstation I use McAfee Enterprise that I am very happy with.)
I tried the McAfee Enterprise on the netbook but it is a no-go. It keeps freezing and bringing the machine to a crawl, esp.with webbrowsing. And I can see the culprit, MCShield is up at 50%. (Hogging the whole netbook of course, because 50% is actually 95% in practical terms for an Atom. This is a HT device not dual core).
So McAfee has to come off. What should I put on? Remember, this is for a netbook and not a desktop.
