Having said that I’d rather use it than Norton: As you point out, Norton is a system-hog, and isn’t that efficient either. One antivirus that you did mention, and which I’d recommend, is Microsoft Security Essentials. I’ve been using it knocking on 5 years and it is good: (Note I said good, not infallible.) In that time it has missed only two or three viruses on my computer, and detected/quarantined/deleted several too. Ensure you run a weekly scan and use the full-scan option fairly regularly though. (At least 6 times a year or more)
