Best Firewall/AV for X201s ?

[Medicopter]

Which firewall and AV do you guys use on your new X201s?

[Investinwaffles]

Nod32

[ansible212]

I have only used the M$ firewall since I had my X200s (previously used PCTools free firewall). Was using Avast for anti virus, but have recently switched to Microsoft Security Essentials (seems a bit slow when doing a quick or full scan, but no problems with real time scanning).

I did a test few days ago, on a different machine, but results should still be similar, C2D T6570, SSD, 3GB, Windows 7 Pro.

During boot, till cpu became idle CPU Time for MSE was just over 2 minutes. for AVG it was just over 30 seconds. I replaced MSE with avg and my laptop seems to be running cooler.

Another app that is horrible for a notebook is Live Mesh. it was moronic how much CPU it used even while everything was synced. moved to Dropbox with Symbolic links and haven't looked back.
