On my single core AMD64 it was quite noticable but on dual core it was ok. I have quad core now too so would probably run well there. Even on dual core I could tell it was causing a slight slow down in explorer. Hoenstly, I never notice any such slow down with Avira. > Which I have done.

I can get one year 3 license of Kaspersky right now for $9.99 but I used it before and while the AV is god I don't like the firewall at all. Too much hassle and prefer the simple one that comes with Windows.

For proof, just look at Service Packs and Updates, something that MS does write, and how many machines are negatively impacted by those. Why would you trust MS to protect your computer, with another product, when they didn't protect it in the first place? -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.
