virus checker for public computers

[Stacy Pober]

Most of our campus uses Norton/Symantic virus software, but I hate how it slows 
down the systems. We also had some problems with it being very slow in updating 
virus definition files (I think they had more demand than their servers could 
handle at the time.) 

I am considering getting licenses for one of the alternative virus checkers, 
such as InoculateIT from Computer Associates or AVG from Grisoft.  I used that 
one when it was free and found that it didn't use system resources as much as 
the Norton virus software.  Out of frugality, I'm now using AVG's  free version 
on my home computers and have had no problems with it.

Anyone want to recommend or warn me off of any particular virus products? 

Best,
