What is the best (preferably free) antivirus software that takes the least resources?

DennisMitchell · 09:36 AM

I recently installed Windows on my Intel iMac with Boot Camp and I really have no desire to have my computer ridden with viruses now lol, so I was wondering, what is the best antivirus/antispyware and or firewall software for Windows that doesn't hog the resources. I know Norton, McAfee, and it's similarities do this so i'm looking for something (preferably free) that will work. Any suggestions are appreciated!
