I use Avast 5 - have recommended this to many.

I've heard Avira being good too, but never tried it.

Even though MSE is from Microsoft,It's got good results in tests, It's up in the top 5 most times.

uses very little ram as well.

Worth a try.

I use Avria which works very well, except that you need to do a mod to disable the updater pop-ups. After that it's fine.
