Lightweight Anti-Virus by Chrissy on 03-30-2010 at 07:34 PM
I've just installed Windows 7 on my Acer Aspire One. It's running perfect, and all I really need now is an Anti-Virus.
On my laptop and computer, I use NOD32 and it works great.
However, on my net-book I want to run something very lightweight so I can use the rest of my resources for everything else.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

NOD32 is prettly lleightweight already, you can also turn of some of the unneeded modules if you wish. My other suggestion would be Microsoft Security Essentials.
Personally I don't run anti virus at all on laptops and netbooks. I just keep them up to date and don't run dodgy things.

It's currently running on my Netbook (Asus EeePC 901)with CPU usage of 868K
