Which Antivir for HTPC with MediaPortal (1 Viewer)

[verhohner]

Hi,

I am on the search for a antivir program that works totaly invisible so that it don't bother MediaPortal while watching TV for example. (especially when it is updating)
Which one do you use?

Use Antivir on my htpc but i'm not so happy about. Its a very good question.

if it's a real htpc (i.e. not a workstation) you should care nothing for virus at all. maybe just a tiny firewall against worms. nothing fancy. follow ronilse advice if you can.

Try AVG Free - exellent product, uses little ress.

Alt.: ClamWin (Open Source - No realtime, though) and Avast (also free)

If used soley as HTPC, do not bother.

If you use it for internet\documents and anything else that may come from external sources, i use avg free without scheduled scanning enabled, just run a scan when it suites you.

No, that's not correct.

AVG Free 7.1 version will be discontinued on 18th of Feb 2007.

But, GRISOFT is announcing a new version of the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. This new 7.5 version with improved performance and full compatibility with the latest Windows Vista version is available ....

Already have AVG Free 7.5, was released weeks ago.

And it does tell you a new version available on the auto update, or anyway mine did.
