Try Microsoft Security Essentials if you are not worried about your computer being actively scanned. If you set it up for a weekly scan it won't slow the computer down.

Get an SSD if you can afford it.

Symantec has really worked on Norton these past couple of years. The 2009 and 2010 version as far as I know have been the highest rated commercial anti-virus platforms too. I'd say McAfee holds the award now for System Hog.

And now that I am working in IT, if we are going to de-virus a PC, we've learned that it isn't happening if we don't do a Norton scan on the HDD at some point during the fumigation.
