My Vista install shows a Windows Experience Index of 5.9, I have 3 gigs of memory installed and I'm running it all on a Intel Core Duo Quad-Core processor. I'm all about speed and efficiency and as we all know antivirus and firewalls apps tend to hog system resources and slow down performance.

What is the best Anti-Virus For Vista?
Does Vista have regular updates of protection against new viruses etc? There are two different issues implied by your question: 1. Do you still need an antivirus program with Vista? 2. Should you use Norton Anti-Virus as your antivirus program. The answer to question 1 is yes. Although there are many security
