NOD32 Virusscan
NOD32 is a superb virusscanner, mainly due to the 'lack' of features other scanner have. The removal of those features, nice GUI (Graphical User Interface), nice 'sounds' and other options to make the product attractive (why should a virusscanner be attractive?) make NOD32 a low resource, high performance, scanner.
NOD32 is also one of the first scanner to provide a 64bit edition for windows 64bit users but also keeps in mind the 'slow' users running win95 or even DOS(!). This is a scanner to reccomend whe you want to use your systemresources for productivity, gaming etc instead of having your scanner absorb them.
