I'm running NOD32 and one of the things I value about it, is
its low resource overhead.

I started running Spyware Doctor and discover it's taking
54,800k - not so low on resources and it once messed up my
cookies.

Is there a recommended anti-spyware program (particularly
concerned about keyloggers etc.), that is good of course,
and also has a low resource drain?

TIA

Louise

Louise,

Spy Sweeper's 2 services and GUI take up a total of 19 MB on my WIN2K
Pro laptop. It's not prone to false positives, either.
