Because it’s less of a resource hog than some of the others and catches everything. I’ve used Microsoft Security Suite which is also good. I used AVG and Symantec for a while and both were kind of resource hogs. > > Run Spybot Search and Destroy + Piriform CCleaner (I can send you the .ini file that will take care of what you probably need to take care of as there is a bunch of settings you can check/uncheck) = Clean PC. Avast 100% i dont use any antivirus on my pc’s tho… but people seem to need AV’s so i just put avast on it for them, the new build of avast is way better and the UI is great… you can register the program within itself without having to go to websites and check your email and bs and copy and past codes etc no A/V FTW ! been doing it for years now, since i stopped using A/V i havent gotten any viruses… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pc-antivirus-the-ins-and-out/253448)._
