Yeah, Microsoft Security Essentials is pretty lightweight. I'm not sure if it's very effective, though.

MSE

Of all the anti-virus programs I used, MSE was the most effective while also staying out of your way. It only bothers you if you have a virus. In my experience, no anti-virus has been as good about doing that.

MSE, then run malwarebytes or something once a month or so and you should be fine.

AVG

Or really anything as long as you stay far away from Norton or McAfee. Especially Norton.

AVG's not what it used to be - it's way too bloated and obnoxious nowadays

MSE's the best these days

I've always found McAfee to be worse than Norton. They both suck, but what is Norton doing now to reclaim its throne as the worst?

Also this, but add AVG to anti-viruses to stay way from.

Wait a minute, you mean Microsoft actually makes a program can compete with third parties? Interesting.

Crashing my GF's computer, for one. I don't actually know which is worse, but I have recent first hand poor experience with Norton, so I'm going with that.
