Vipre from GFI/Sunbelt Sofware.It has the least performance impact of any other antivirus. There have been numerous reviews and comparisons and it always comes on top as being the fastest. From experience, it does its job as well.

I've been using this since January. I'm happy with it so far and the price was right.

AVAST has worked great for me!

Avast works very well, but MSSE is the best I've found and there's no reason to shut it down for FSX - It runs in the background just fine.
