Anti virus for thin client

I'm running a HP thin client with a 660 MHz proc. 492 MB RAM and maybe 300 MB of hard drive space. Windows XP embedded SP3.

What is a good lightweight anti virus software I can use?

Edit- I'd use Clamwin, but it doesn't have a real time scanner.

I saw Panda cloud, but thought it was payware.

No bro, it just tells you if you want you can try the Panda Pro just don't say YES to that and continue to use Panda Cloud.

I am using it on my manager's crappy ASUS Netbook and it is light as heck as if it's not even there.

does the job well and is light + free

no nags to upgrade after the initial setup nag.

I got just one false positive with it luckily I had that EXE backed up on an external HDD and I added it to the exclusions after disabling Panda's scanner for a while


But the False Positives in MSE are much much more and according to Virus Labs reviews it has failed certification month after month as it fails to detect viruses badly.

many people say they are running it and never got a virus but then they never know since it won't detect any virus in the first place
 
I'll give Panda a go. I personally use Avira on my other computers. MSE is for idiots. lol

I do check AV Comparatives quit often too. I have Avira pared with Comodo, but Avira will complain if Comodo is installed so install Avira first. I don't use Comodo's defense shield anyway.

Well, I tired to install Panda and it came up with an error. It won't install. Anything else out there. Keep in mind I only have about 300 MB of hard drive space.
