    I use Bitdefender...it's rated the best...and it's very un-intrusive...
    I got the Total Security Pack for next to nothing...and it's performed 
    brilliantly for quite awhile....

    Good find. I use Win 8.1.1 so no need for that. But I'm sure many others will like this zero price!!

    LOL Larry, I also use Bit Defender Total Security (got it for free from a Best Buy purchase), and do like it very much......very small footprint on the system, but does a huge amount of security details.
     
    Yes, I also like "zero" prices. :)

    AVG isn't the best AV program for DAWs, IMO. It has become somewhat bloated since its early days and it isn't the best at stopping infections. When repairing computers I constantly come across badly infected computers that I used AVG as the antivirus. BitDefender is a very good low resource AV program and I use it on our laptops, but I use NOD32 on my DAW, which is also low resource and quite good at detection. I use NOD32 when repairing computers- to clean infections off computers that were running AVG, McAfee and Norton.

    Avast is a decent program and has a free version - Bitdefender is better and also has a free version, but if I had to choose between Avast and AVG, I'd use Avast over AVG any day.
