Re: Shaw Secure. Anyone use it?
I've tried using it twice.
That is because it is based on F-Secure, which I feel is an AV with absolutely awesome detection rates, it helped me once when I couldn't find a bad file that was recreating infections/virii when windows started.
BUT both times I had to uninstall, because it made my computer slow as shit.
The first time was on my AMD 2700+ system, with 1 gigabyte of ram, I even tried uninstalling most of the extra options that it normally does not allow.
I gave up.
I tried again last month on my new system, E5200, 3 gigabytes of ram (4 but until I move to 64 bit I'm happy) and it STILL causes noticeable slowdown in my system performance, especially on startup, as it starts services and applications even for the options you disable such as e-mail and web filtering.
I gave up on it entirely. |
