AV for a Older Laptop

phykell · 15-01-2009, 12:04

I've just installed Kaspersky on my "mobile workstation" which is a 2.6GHz, Centrino Pro with a 7,200 rpm hard drive, 4 GB RAM and NVidia Quadro workstation graphics card.

Now I'd have thought that would be a good enough spec to not even notice an AV application but it's really hit the machine's performance!

I've just rebuilt another laptop which had a virus on it and I now have no idea what AV to put on it as it's only a basic 1.8GHz Centrino.

Any ideas what I should do?

Are there any AV apps out there which would suit an older machine?
