    Wow, MSE must be really hard on encrypted files. I've disabled MSE now because the laptop's slowing down.
    Will have to look for a faster alternative..

    Try NOD32 2.7 or the VIPRE one Chief_Garbonzo posted. Both are supposed to be very light on system resources.

    AVG Latest or Nod32 2.7 are the best two - they are light on resources, never seen & run perfectly.

    Kaspersky AV, but if you want something thats free I would go with MSE, I like it because its "quiet", it wont bug you much and it does the job pretty good
