No proble here with NOD32; next best to Kaspersky for low resource

For an LCD?

Absolutely not.

Sounds likes it's not a screensaver if it runs while you're working?

I assume that you are running Windows XP. A "clean" XP runs in about
100MB with around 20 processes. To me, 45 processes is not that very
much, but 600MB memory usage seems to be fairly high, since you have
"only" 1GB physical RAM. On my machine, right now, I have 83 processes
with about 660MB memory usage, but this is quite a "loaded" machine,
and it has 2GB of physical RAM.

So you might want to search for other "memory hogs", but you probably
should ask this question in a Windows XP newsgroup, such as
microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain
