I would say in your case F-prot, you could probably get NOD32 down pretty low by disabling everything except resident shield.

There's some Dr Web users here that say it runs real light.

You should wait a bit for a NOD32 expert, I would just use the resident shield but I don't use NOD32 so can't really ansewr.

In truth I wouldn't waste any money on an AV, go buy more memory instead and use a free AV until you have more $$.

Guess that eliminates Free AV's

Test the AV's and see how low you can get them to go....F-Prot is a for sure thing on your PC, it runs real light.

Where you live isn't memory cheap ?

Turning off some modules in NOD32 doesn't reduce memory usage.. But NOD32 uses very low resources..

Maybe NOD32 has been just updated, or performed a scan...

Nope just turned on my pc, and it stays at 17.334 now.
I'm not complaining though, as it's all very fast - However the numbers on your system are quite low...
Research time I guess

It may be due to a difference in O.S. between the two computers.

I would imagine so - my WIN2k machine has

nod32krn.exe @16,700 K
nod32kui.exe @2,200 K

Pretty similar to Brian's.

The lowest I can get is 14.xxx - But only if I disable the startup scan.
Also it seems to increase to 15.xxx when checking Gmail via Gmail Notifier.

I'm running XP SP2 just so you know

Thumbs up Re: nod32 or fprot
I would say Nod32 is better than F-Prot,and light on system resources as well.

My Nod32 on Win XP SP2:

nod32krn.exe 2,944K
nod32kui.exe 696K
