Anti-virus software suitable for low-end PCs
The benefit of Anti-Virus is to protect the computer / PC from any form of malware that can damage the device itself. Therefore, the malware must of course be removed quickly so that it does not spread to the computer, let alone important systems. There are so many antivirus software out there and certainly all of them are protective and non-destructive. Some perform very well but make your computer slower; others are more minimalistic but are not good at removing viruses. But here I am going to introduce software that is very suitable for computer users with less than 2GB of RAM and that allows multitasking applications to be opened so as not to slow down PC performance.
The antivirus software I’m going to share is called Avast!. By using Avast, your PC is guaranteed to be safe. Of the many antiviruses that require this small size has a good equivalent to AVG and can detect viruses from a file, a browser or while surfing the Internet. Actually, all antivirus programs are the same, with the same intention of maintaining the health of the device so that it does not get infected, so, for example, a small child who catches the flu is given adult drugs, of course it is not suitable, as well as computers, when they are of low spec, they do not want to use the equivalent of their skill so as not to force damage the system that can degrade the computer’s performance.
Currently I also use Avast Premier and it has proven its ability to defeat the existing virus. I have tried several existing viruses such as: keygen, cheat files, PHP ASP JAVA backdoor, for file encryption, and can actually see it. Many say that Avast deletes files directly, although that is not true, if there is a virus, Avast will quarantine the file immediately so the quarantined file cannot do anything and the user can just exit it or delete it Want to whitelist such files so that they are no longer labeled as threats.
Like most other antivirus programs, Avast has 2 versions, free and paid. The paid version has its own advantages, such as: B. the ability to protect email and add an additional firewall, while the free version, like other free antivirus programs, closely monitors the files stored. Here I am just sharing the free version and after installing it I am trying to distinguish it from other antivirus, definitely easier Avast, you can see it in the task manager. Here is a view of Avast! Antivirus.
To try Avast, you can download it directly from the Avast official website and choose whether to install it Manual by downloading or using files that are approximately 120MB and larger Online installer which is only not up to 5MB in size, but if you use the online installer make sure the internet connection you are using is very fast and not intermittent as it will download files of 120MB and more. Here is a link to download it, please choose from the two I mentioned earlier.
