As i've said before, i have a netbook for when im on the go and because my laptop is rather heavy to be carrying it around everywhere. So do you think i should remove the anti-virus because it could be quite slow? What have you done on your netbook?

I personally don't have a netbook, because they are pretty much only good for basic web browsing. I think that you should remove Windows from it, and you should replace it with Ubuntu, because Ubuntu is a very secure operating system, and you won't need to run virus protection on your netbook. You will notice that your netbook will be faster than when you were running Windows.

For anyone that's using a netbook, I recommend that you use Ubuntu, because it's fast and secure.

I don't have a netbook but you should still keep an efficient, resource light anti-virus installed on it. This way, You ensure a virus won’t slip through. This is especially important if you’re a heavy email user who receives lots of email attachments.

Netbooks are still PC’s after all & are still capable of getting a virus infection.

As netbooks are basically not good for anything rather than browsing the web you could (as some pointed out) replace it with Ubuntu as it's a Unix-based OS, which is a very secure one (OS X is also based on Unix). Then you won't need any anti-virus programs. You actually won't lose anything as netbooks are poor on performance.
