Less Intrusive, RAM-Eating AV Program Alternative to McAfe..

I have about reached the saturation point with McAfee. I'm always jammed up against my RAM
limits--which are high--and I have to reboot after freezes several times a day.

I have been following this n/g for a while and have seen lots of recommendations.

But which will do a good job of protecting my puter and not be as invasive as McAfee? I want it to
run in the background but I want it to leave a much smaller footprint than the one I've got now.

Suggestions, please. All are welcome and gratefully appreciated.

Windows 98, FYI.

TsIA.

I have used Computer Associates EZ-Antivirus since the days when it was
Innoculate-IT personal edition and think it works very well and they have
exceptional record when it comes to releasing updated signatures. Well worth the
$20 US (including the first year of updates). Subsequent annual updates have
been $9.95us for the last two years...
