I have a friend who is using a netbook. She needs a free antivirus program that won't slow the computer down. I could recommend a few that I have used over the years, and am interested in hearing the opinions of others regarding which are the best choices which use the least amount of resources.

Thanks!
 


Hi - I use Avast on my laptop and it seem to work gr8, however it can't co-exist AVG.
