I am in the process of building a new PC. I basically
have all my software installed except antivirus. I just
can't decide on which one is the best. People seem to
have trouble with Norton and McAfee, some of the free
one's are lacking features...I don't know what to get!

I am mainly after one with good performance (light on the
system and fast scanning ability)...what do you use?
