Recommended Anti-Virus Solution for XP w/SP2

Hello! I'm running Windows XP SP2... and I'm looking for a new
anti-virus solution.

My machine is a 2.8ghz p4 with one gig of ram.

I've tried Norton Anti-Virus 2004 Professional; This was a bloated piece
of junk.
I have also tried Avant! and did not like that as well... both run
services that use huge amounts of ram and have clunky interfaces...

I want a simple anti-virus solution, I was looking into Panda Titanium..
is this a popular one? What are some other popular ones? [not mcaffee]

Thanks Guys.

I am happy with Avast! - even in 512 MB RAM driven under WinXP_Pro_SP1
by a PII 350@466!

Kaspersky runs fine and so seems to be running Nod32 v.2 trial. What I
nave noticed SP2 does not braek any application on the contrary they
run faster.

Just tried NOD32 out, and I must say this is the best anti-virus
solution I have ever used.

Zeitgeist:

Is that the beta XP SP2 or has MS released the final XP SP2?

Thanks for the info. I will wait until SP2 is out of beta.

Hello,

I've been reading everyone's advice on what to do to protect your
computer and have successfully installed and run SpyBot S&D and Ad-Aware
(with the current updates), and successfully quaranteed and deleted some
of those little buggers that have been plaguing my computer.

However - and I'm not even sure if this is related - now I can't seem to
right-click and save images anymore with Netscape 7.1. Would anyone know
if this has anything to do with the programs I installed? Or did I screw
something else up? I can right-click and save with IE, but, well, I hate
IE, even to pull it up just to save a little ol' image.

I've checked all my settings for my mouse (Microsoft Wireless
Intellimouse Explorer 2.0) and my settings in Netscape and everything
seems kosher. What did I DO??? Erg!

Any help would be appreciated, as I've exhausted all other avenues that
I can think of.
