I need to do the same thing. I think I got a deal on Norton Internet Security from Office Depot ($20) that I will probably try. There seems to be such an overload of bad stuff out there, that the time and sophistication of anti-virus software is getting to be a bit much. Still, the anti-virusware is often overcome.
Even the Netbook addition trialware on my netbook now, is slower than molasses. With all the daily cock-eyed slow loading program updates for Java and Acrobat etc, I'm tempted to surf with one of my other solid-state netbooks without anti-virusware and just re-install the OS every morning. It couldn't take much longer than daily updates and pokey incoming scans. There used to be a neat Windows 98 program that did just that. It automatically started over with an identical clean slate after every re-boot, but I forget what it was called.
