to slow the performance. AVG or perhaps MS Security Essentials.?

1181141 2011-02-24 07:36:00 I have an MSI u100 with W7S and MS Security Essentials is OK but I dual boot and mainly use Linux. mikebartnz (21)

You reckon the MS program would be all I would need. I don't want to slow it down too much. I guess any of these virus programs will slow it a little.

1181146 2011-02-24 20:17:00 I found NOD32 a bit better on Netbooks vs Security Essentials. Still, for free, Security Essentials is by far the best :) Chilling_Silence (9)

1181148 2011-02-24 20:50:00 Give it a shot, you've got a 30-day trial free from their website? :D

I found it lighter on the resource consumption vs MSE

I found it lighter on the resource consumption vs MSEI guess I could. I am already paying for two installations on my desktops and not sure I want to pay for another for my netbook. But guess it would be money well spent.
