can SAS take the role of antivirus programs?

[d3v]

I'm thinking of uninstalling AVG8 antivirus as it is too system heavy. I intend to replace it with SAS and TrojanRemover programs. Will SAS detect viruses as well as AVG8.5 does?

SAS is not an antivirus. It is Antispyware and meant to run along side your antivirus. I used to have AVG 8.5 free as well and I switched to Avira Free. Avira is light on resources and has a great detection rate. In my opinion, here are your best options for antivirus:

Free versions: Avira or Avast

paid versions: NOD32 or Kaspersky

Any of these with SAS is a great combo
