I've just got a sub-notebook (HP Mininote) so I'm looking for an antivirus which uses very little resources (as it only has a 1.2Ghz cpu and a gig of ram....+ vista).
Any suggestions welcomed, thanks

I know, I do know about computers and software....
Just I need abit of advice on which has the lowest usage and is still effective. I use Avast on my desktop.

are you talking about during an actual scan, or just the active security measures it takes? because Avast is fairly good with their On-Access Scanner support.

Just so I can free up the most possible resources ...as they are fairly limited anyway. eg, I'm using Opera for web and as little as possible background programs, to try and maximise the performance.
