    Best Anti-virus for Netbook?

    I have an NC-10 which came with a free version of Avira. I installed pctools in replacement of as it's paid for already, however it seems to slow the system down. I'm thinking of reinstalling the Avira which came with it but i'm always dubious of free stuff.

    What's the best for netbooks, free or paid.

    I use Avira, and haven't had any problems. I find it a good little programme that doesn't slow the pc down.
