RE: low resource security
The Windows-built-in firewall is great enough for me and I think it consumes fairly low resource.

As for Antivirus, they say NOD32 is low on resource. I personally only tried NOD32 and PC-Cillin before so I can only recommend you that one.

NOD32 is known to be one of the fastest around, and it runs quite light on resources. Never experienced the slowdowns like i used to have on Norton (reason that i switched).
Finish the problem

Nod32 and Windows Firewall, it's the best combination I've found. =]

RE: low resource security
Avast is pretty good (i think) ive got it on all 3 of my computers and its pretty low on resources :P
Windows firewall on vista is good, Zonealarm free firewall does a good job apparently, not sure about the resources of that though :P
