Try AVS (Active virus Shield) from AOL (yes, really). It's free and it
is a cut down version of the best av solution out there (IMHO) Kaspersky
AV. Just make sure when you are installing it that you decline to tick
the optional aol toolbar. I installed it on my sister's PC recently (I
already use the paid-for version of Kaspersky) and it was just like KAV
with a few features removed.

all related to free antivirus applications.

That is a good start toward finding answers to your question. Or you can

By the way, I would guess that there are NO well known antivirus
applications that noticeably slow down Internet browsing."
