Two AVs that have the lightest footprint by far are Dr. Web and F-prot. The footprint is unbelievably low - about 1 MB! You wont get anything lighter than this. You wont even notice their existence. AVG and all dont even come close, lol!

Dr. Web I think scores in both detection and footprint and speed. They may not be as good at detection as top rung AVs like Kaspersky, but they are quite decent... anyday better than AVG, etc.

I dont think running a scan while you are using the comp is a good idea with any AV!!! Esp. your our HDD will take a severe beating! You should probably schedule it to run at the end of you session or something, and set it to turn off your comp. But if you are hell bent on doing it, both these AVs are damn fast at scanning.
