Juan De L Cruz doesn’t need a memory sucker AV’s.. hehe You need a real-time protection. Some AV's known to use quite a bit of memory.
(twit twiit: “dude.. badtrip ang bagal ng pc ko”)
Some av’s contribute to high utilization of cpu process en memory usage. ikaw Badtrip ka rin ba ;(Some AV offers heuristic scanning… heuristic approaches implement rule-based systems. This means, that the component of the heuristic engine that conducts the analysis (the analyser) extracts certain rules from a file and this rules will be compared against a set of rule for malicious code. If there matches a rule, an alarm can be triggered.
Do We Need Heuristics?
Having offered a brief overview of heuristic approaches and components of heuristic engines, we want to look more closely at why heuristic approaches are useful for both the user and the AV companies. In the last couple of years we have seen a couple of outbreaks (W97M/Melissa, VBS/Loveletter, W32/Nimda, … just to name a few) that have illustrated how the need for protective solutions based on heuristic approaches in general have became more urgent. Additionally, we have seen a lot of malicious code that simply copies known ideas. As a result, this kind of malicious code offers perfect attack points for heuristic engines. When heuristic engines and generic approaches are capable of detecting slight variants of known malware, the AV research labs can look at other problems and optimize their time handling.

O' right! the "default" values are set on right!! Proactive users like "us" do fine tune or tweak those additional features like heuristic scanning. Rootkit Scanning, product updates, Logging reports, Scan files all files when reading and writing options and password protection for av’s configuration. it's all said.

Carlito’s Tip#2: OSI Layer 2 and Layer 3 Router Protection for Conficker
Website: http://carldelara.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-remove-or-block-conficker-worm.html
Open dns offers detailed statistics empower you to understand your network traffic and spot trends before they become problems. Also content-filtering like c*nficker.
If you want to use a lower resources antivirus you can use Avira’s Anti-vir. as i said earlier make sure to fine tune and tick those necessary check boxes after the installation procedure.
