Default Which Antivirus Software do you use??

I just bought my first laptop.. and it's a tablet! I'm just wondering what Antivirus software you all run- I'm looking for something that will use minimal resources.. I love how fast this thing boots up and shuts down. I know if I install Norton AV those boot times will lengthen quite a bit as they have on my desktop.

Any reccomendations?

I use avast! antivirus software. It's caught many viruses. Even our IT guys like it and have it on their own home computers. (It's free)

I use Avast, but I hear good things about AVG as well. I have been very pleased with the performance of Avast as my tablet has not been slowed at all. The only downside of Avast is that there is no way to schedule scans. It runs in the background but you have to run scans manually.
