If you look at the vmsize and peak memory columns in task manager, the numbers will be higher, not a big problem if you have gigs of ram, but in the op's case it will start swapping when they launch, leading to slow boots etc, it does also depend on what other pieces of code/memory can be shared with other apps/windows, so will vary from system to system.

From what I've seen avira does tend to grab more ram than it needs, which doesn't help.

Not much differnce but Avira still comes out tops.

Scan Timing and Virtual Memory Usage: AntiVir (scan) and AVG (VM)

Since AVG do not offer a quick scanning, I have no choice but to only compare the scan [COLOR=#3399cc !important][COLOR=#3399cc !important]performance[/COLOR] of these 3 antivirus programs using a full system scan:

• Avast did the job in 36 minutes with 95MB of Virtual Memory Size (VM)
• AntiVir finished scanning in 28 minutes using 106MB of VM
• It took 42 minutes for AVG to finish the full system scan taking advantage of 57MB VM size

While the PC is idle, the VM for Avast is higher than AVG and AntiVir:

• Avast is taking 63MB of virtual memory
• AntiVir is using 58MB VM
• AVG is running with 35MB VM
