    I have both Avira and NOD32 running (different systems of course) and found using single core that they are about the same speed... I tend to limit my programs to a single core so I can use the other core for all sorts of junk...

    I have tried AVG, but found it to be much slower and didn't find quite as much... and I won't talk about Norton... used it for years...

    I also tried Comodo, but got rid of it pretty quickly... I also ran Macafee for a little over a year, but found it was slow as well as not finding everything...

    Alas, those are the only anti-virus programs that I have used to date...

    Regards -

    Not sure what your issue is,but updating is fast on my computer with Avira along with other people that I know who run it as well.

    We suspect it is the polling of the Windows security center API that causes the idle problem. No word on a fix yet. :doubt:
