wine users - Nov 2010 - What antivirus program is the best for a computer?

I know that Norton might rock, but myself personally, I can't tolerate the
way it uses all of my ram and slows my computer down. I use spy bot, but that
isn't enough. Is there anyone out there who knows of an antivirus program
that will not eat up my bank account or my computer's capacity to function
at a normal rate? Thank you for your time......

Whichever will work on Linux (assuming that's what's you have).

John:

I think you are talking about spyware that is brought into the browser?

There are many types of malware.  Viruses and Trojan Horses are two of 
them.  Can you specify what type of malware you are talking about?

if your talking about a windows installation, i suggest Avira. its free, has one
of the highest detection rates for AV, and it takes almost NO resources to run
the active guard. (AV scans will muck your computer a small bit, but not much.)

Ive been using avira in conjunction with Spbybot and SUPERantispyware for years,
and ive only ever gotten one virus that couldnt be easily removed with one of
those tooles.
