Anti Virus for the Samsung NC10
There are plenty of antivirus applications out there, but alot of them (even the big brand name ones) are not worth the system resources they demand, particularly on a low spec netbook. The NC10 requires a light but effective antivirus software.
The NC10 comes with a free 60 day trial of McAfee Internet Security installed but this resource hungry appllication is not appropriate protection for the NC10. I personally recommend AVG free edition, completely free with no adware or spyware and (unlike other free software) you wont find yourself constantly being asked to buy the pro version. This is the most widely used and widely respected free anti virus software that is updated almost daily and can compete with the best paid for applications without chewing through your system resources.
Useless
Removing McAfee
- Download the McAfee removal tool [McAfee.com] (If you're uncomfortable with this download there is a manual removal guide at wikihow.com/Uninstall-McAfee-Security-Center )
- Run the removal tool or follow the manual instructions to rid your system of McAfee.
- Download AVG Free Edition (Version Currently 9.0)
- Install AVG Free Edition by running the .exe. The installation is very idiot proof and I recommend choosing all the extras like link scanner.
- Update your AVG regularly and enjoy free fully functional anti virus protection that doesn't place unnecessary demands on your NC10's system resources.
Non-Free Options
If you're willing to pay for your protection NOD32 is widely considered as the most effective antivirus out there and won't bloat your system like McAfee or Norton.
