If resource and memory are your main concern, do try F-Prot

Symantec Antivirus Heap Overflow Advisory

Security researcher Alex Wheeler has released an advisory that could potentially affect a large portion of Symantec's antivirus products including gateway, server, and client versions on most platforms. The flaw occurs during the decompression process when scanning RAR files. During this process the affected systems can experience multiple heap overflows allowing attackers complete control of the system(s). This flaw can be exploited remotely and without any user interaction through protocols such as SMTP. Wheeler warns that in default configurations users are likely vulnerable regardless of whether they choose to open or read an infected e-mail. Wheeler also recommends disabling scanning of RAR files until this vulnerability is fixed.

Ouch, bad flaw.

my own study:
1. kaspersky AV is updated "hourly" vs NOD32 "as needed".
*
you can change this.. mine is set to hourly

QUOTE
NOD32 AV + kerio PF:
nod32kui 912
nod32krn 4962
nod32 20120
(kerio around 5xxx)
total = ~31k
only nod32kui + nod32krn are needed to run at the background.

QUOTE
imho, its not how good is any AV/PF out there, but how good are u utilize+manipulate it to serve u.
agreed.

If I want a lean antivirus, I would use F-Prot. For now, I'm satisfied with NOD32

NAV is not bad..but there're other better products.. even Symantec Antivirus; which is different product from the same company; is better..
