AV slows down PCs

[associates]

Hi,

I was wondering if i could get some help here. We have a small business here that has about 5 staff working in the office. So you may consider it as a small business. I have issues with AntiVirus software in terms of memory space usage. At the moment, i use PC Cillin Internet Security 2006 for all the machines we have in the office. I got complaint that it slows down the performance of the computer which is understandable because of its hunger for memory space to run the scanning. I got the same problem with Norton and this is why i chose PC-Cillin instead. But i got the same issue too.

Is there any AV software that can actually automatically run in the background when it's scheduled to run without us knowing it running?

Thank you in advance

AVG does not have issues like this.

Yeh, do you have to run full scans during the workday?  You should be able to schedule scans via Windows Task Scheduler.  Even a lunch break might be a time to run a full scan.

With AVG Free you don't even need Task Scheduler...mine checks and updates daily at 4:00 A. M. and scans at 5: 00 A. M.
