   You should not rely on a single malaware app.   
   AdAware does not run in the background, so uses no resources untill you run   
   it.   
   It is free as is SpyBot, which also only runs when you start it.   
      
   What AV app do you run, if you run either Norton or McAfee they are both   
   resource hogs, there are better free ones avilable
