This may sound dopey, and also may be in the wrong section of this forum, but I come with all good intentions to be one less victim. Anyhoo I'm after some advice on Anti-virus software, I really have no idea of which type to get. At this stage my CPU has a clean bill of health and I'd prefer to keep it like that. I know some chew up your CPU and make it heavy. Please help and thanks.

you might want to go to the link and you can check out the antivirus there and how they did in the detection test's here (http://www.av-comparatives.org/) and here (http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archives/products.xml) and here (http://www.icsalabs.com/html/communities/antivirus/index.shtml) this should give you some idea which one you might like to try out.
