Hey folks.
I'm looking for a light weight , very small, feature-light, antivirus program. I know how to avoid the common virus/malware from building/working with computers since the Windows 3.1 days. So i'm not too worried about my computer getting infected due to my own ignorance. I am aware, however, that i can get infected by bugs that are embedded into websites, video players, ect. So i feel that i need SOMETHING on this new build.
I used to use AVG back in the day because it was one of the only choices for free anti-virus software at the time. Recently I've noticed that there are a ton of free options.
I need something very light weight. I don't want it to check my email links, scan downloaded files before opening, ect. I know these features can be disabled on programs that offer them, but i want a program that doesn't even offer them at all. I just want a simple scanner with real time protection running in the background.
What would you guys suggest i use?
