[QUOTE="tipstir, post: 336418, member: 50274"] I've pretty much test them all with HTPC. If you don't use one with it they it will run fast no matter what PVR your using. If you really need to run one. I recommend using: Firewall - PC Tools Firewall Plus (freeware) Spyware/Anti-Virus - low impact on system would be the Spyware Doctor with Antivirus Starter Edition [url=http://www.iwr.co.uk/vnunet/downloads/2212453/spyware-doctor-antivirus]Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus 5.5 Starter Edition - Information World Review[/url] Don't let the name starter edition fool you it will never expire. There is a current version available but it's hidden Might update with using the above or might not. I use it doesn't screw up the HTPC or slow anything down. Full version would do that though. These programs can be setup to run on off peak time for small scan or full scans. There is SD Starter or SDA Starter. If you don't use the PC for the internet you can get away with the FWP with SD. If you do use the internet with PC then get FWP + SDA both free and both update for free and do schedule scans well SDA does. I've gone back with AVAST Home Edition but after a few weeks using it just slows down the system. Plus it was suppose to catch spyware it really doesn't and SD + AVAST both for free work quite well. Fastest performance would be using FWP + SDA. That's my on take on this subject... [/QUOTE]
