Listen to VistaKing, get Norton off your system. MSE is going to be the least resource intensive antivir you can use with W7. IMHO many of the so called anti virus programs that are popular with many users are more like ad ware then anti virus. I refuse to use anything that installs a tool bar on my web browser. I decide what goes on my OS not some software manufacturer.
Avira is a good antivir and I used it for years until I tried MSE, now it's MSE real time and MBAM/SASW once a week.
Keep working at getting AdwCleaner, it does the job. Much less work than installing a fresh OS.
