A good, low resource, virus scanner

I've been wading through all of the reviews I can find on the current gen virus scanners
and still can't reach a decision on which one to use. In most of the reviews I've
read BitDefender is currently top ranked with Mcafee and Norton/Symantec in the top
three or four. Now, I've tried both BitDefender Total Security 2008 and Norton 2005
(which is problematic because I can't get it to update) and both seem like insane
resource hogs. I'd just like some input on was seems to work well for you guys
- providing good protection (I'm frequently on a friend's network and his computer
is riddled with viruses) without completely devouring resources.
On a complete side note - about 2 months ago I had posted about partitioning a drive
on which to install 2k and was told that a 25 Gb partition was plenty. I've installed
a few things but have left about 10 Gigs free - but the OS seems to hang more than
when I had it on it's own 80 gig..... is 10 gigs enough breathing room? Does 2k need
more HD to run comfortably? Or should I be looking somewhere else?
