I've been running AVG for a very long time, since around version 3,
and it has definitely become very Symantec-like in it's resource
usage. Lately I have been running Comodo Antivirus on machines I need
a free install.

AVG just released 8.5 for Linux, CLI only. I just read a review in
this month's Linux Format, and they beat it up pretty bad. At least
they're consistent ;)
