Lease CPU/memory intensive Anti-Virus software?

[ADB100]

One of my main dislikes of Anti-Virus (and Anti-Spyware) software is it's CPU & Memory hit. I remember a few years ago (P3 CPU's) running any Anti-Virus software was a pain as it just slowed things down, now with P4 CPU's its better but still can be painful. I currently have Symantec AV Corporate Edition running on a couple of machines and it is noticable.
I was wondering what AV software is least noticable?

Cheers

Andy

I have not been an advocate of Norton products up until lately. I have installed Norton 360 on a number of computers and I was impressed with the program. From the reviews I have read and from my own experience it seems Norton has found a way to do its work while you computer is idle. Might read here

Remember that whatever you do will always be a compromise between protection and resources.
The increasing amount of malware on the Internet these days, means that there is no way around this.

I have sophos anti -vrius and the enterprise console.

Sophos when doing on access scanning isn't noticable at all.

Where my symantec at home is very noticable with on access scanning

Sophos does slow the machine down when doing a full system scan. It is about the same as symantec

right now savservice.exe is using 48,400k of memory and 02% CPU
