I have had F-Secure for several years and recently upgraded to this latest version. I have a 1.8Ghz dual core with 1Gb RAM and I have not noticed any decrease in performance.
I've also had a search around on the web and a company called 'Virus Bulletin' have tested a load of products and F-Secure came out second overall. As far as I'm concerned it does the job better than most and it is there to stop viruses at the end of the day, so even if it did slow my PC down a bit I wouldn't mind!
All in all a good product that I have installed and forgotten about which is what I want.

Oh dear. I was hopeful about this software - McAfee have a big name in the industry. But it seems to have failed.
I installed the product - it took 3 attempts and eventually it worked, and on the desktop was a big shiny M. It all worked absolutely fine, except that you could not open the Backup & Restore section, nor the Firewall Lockdown section. But, not to worry, because everything else worked.
Then I switched it on the next day, and the first thing we noticed - it took 3 attempts to open it. Then there was a big red X saying that my computer wasn't protected. The virus scan, spyware checker et al had all failed.
So, I installed ,cAfee Virtual Technician, which failed to help, and after an half hour conversation over IM with a ... Read More:

Not only did I check with Consumer Reports, but I called family and friends before I bought McAfee. I had previously used "Windows Live One Care" with no problems, but it is not even listed in the "top ten" of anti-virus protection. Norton was placed second best, but I heard too many horror stories. This 2009 version was very easy, easy, easy to install. Immediately, I noticed that on every website listed (after a GOOGLE search), there were colored check marks indicating which sites were `safe' and which sites were `risky' to open. Holding your cursor over the checked mark gives you more detailed information. McAfee actually checked all these sites BEFORE they made this program.
