    I use Zone alarm free and never had a problem with it hogging memory.It hovers around 3600k in task manager.I also use AVG free and I'm quite happy with it.Nothing of a memory hog like Norton is.

    Zone Alarm is a firewall and Avast is an antivirus program. Each protects your computer in different ways. Leave both running.
