O.P. Tongue  Lightweight Anti-Virus
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?

RE: Lightweight Anti-Virus
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.
Finish the problem
