I've recently bought a netbook, Asus R105D with a 1.6GHz Atom processor and running Windows 7 starter. Lovely bit of kit, can be browsing in under a minute from a completely cold start.
However, my question concerns anti-virus options. It came with a trial version of Trend Micro Titanium. Before I rush off and make it paid-up, I've done a bit of googling and found other tools that seem to be recommended to various degrees, such as Panda Internet Security and Microsoft Security Essentials. As it's not my main machine, I don't need lots of configuration options just good reliable protection. I wondered what other people were using, and how they have found it? My main gripe with the Trend software is that, whatever I do, I can't get it to automatically kick up reliably when I boot the machine up, it does sometimes but not others. Anyone else had this problem with it? I know the config is correct, I've had lots of experience in setting up PCs!
