Best antivirus for gaming?

I game a lot, single player and also online. I usually online game on MMO's or on STEAM type games (Like COD4, counter strike, etc). I also currently use AVG Free for my anti-virus. I'm wondering though, if anyone knew of a possibly better anti-virus that is well designed for online gamers so it won't bog down our systems?
 
Norton has a new gaming edition you might want to look at. Avira is a good one too if you just want a free anti-virus package.
 
Why do you need resident virus protection?

Install legit games and use scanners on files you do not trust. No resident virus scanner = no slow down no matter what antivirus you use.
 
+1 for Norton 2009 Gaming Edition

I've only been using it for a few days, but switched from PC-Cillin, and Norton's using much fewer resources even in normal mode than PC-Cillin did. It's got a special Gaming Mode that you can enable on demand (for a set amount of time...up to 6 hours) that disables anything that could be disturbing/resource intensive (you can configure how much to disable, including real-time protection), and it's like playing with nothing (and automatically re-enables itself after the time limit so you can't forget). I'm pretty impressed. They've got a free 15-day trial if you want to give it a go.
