Anti Virus Cannot be a resource hog or cost too much. Looking for suggestions.

The CA EZ Antivirus is free after $35 rebate, Kapersky cost about $70 for the full blown internet security bundle or about $50 for just the anti virus.

I need to get something.. plan on having a firewall as well.

I use Avira Anti-Vir. Has worked well so far.

There is, however, a Consolidated Security Thread stickied up here. It's a good read :thumbsup:

EDIT: oops, it's not actually a stickie, but here's a link

NOD32 or Kaspersky.

NO32 has very good heuristics and uses less resources - but KAV has a tad better detection rate.
You decide.
