Symantec claims its 2009 Internet Security products will have “zero impact” on PC performance…
“Fundamentally, consumers don’t want to be bothered at all. We’ve set as our goal zero-impact security,” she said…
Symantec claims one of the ways the product will make less demand on system resources is by scaling back on the amount of scanning. “Our new technology allows us to scan less,” claimed Chaffin. “We know which files are good files and we can scan those less.”
“If software runs on millions of systems, it’s going to be good software,” Chaffin added. “If software only runs on a small number of machines, chances are it’s bad.”
Is there not a chance malware writers will quickly cotton on to which applications Norton is scanning less frequently and target those? “If they modify a file in any way, we can scan,” claimed Mallon.
Norton will also use the past history of the user to gauge how much scanning is necessary. “If someone’s not been infected before, the chances of them being infected are low.”
Norton Internet Security 2009 and Antivirus 2009 will be out this autumn.

Kaspersky free antivirus tool. It is a nice free tool to check for viruses on suspect machines that may have no antivirus program installed at all, an AV program that is outdated, or one that is suspected to be not working properly or infected, itself. Note that the program is not intended to be a replacement for a antivirus program that auto-updates as well as protects on a real-time basis. The Kaspersky AVP Tool will not auto-update or protect your computer from viruses released and detected after the date of the executable.
Some users have reported issues with uninstalling the Kaspersky AVP tool. If you have trouble uninstalling the tool try the following:
In the AVPTool settings, disable Self-Defense then uninstall the program.
If you still have trouble, leave a comment and we’ll try to help you out.
