I've had the same experience using VirusBarrierX6 from Intego. The processing and stability hit was too much to continue to use the product even after a variety of tweeking.
Easier to keep a stable, working clone of your system, updated monthly (Carbon Copy Cloner, or whatever product you prefer) and sleep in contentment.
I have never had a client, friend, or colleague with a true virus/trojan/worm or anything remotely resembling it. I have found lots of Microsoft Office Macro baddies over the years, but they are harmless and only slightly annoying to Mac users, but nothing tragic. The only downside to these particular MS bugs are inadvertently forwarding them on to other PC users. Hopefully they have protection.
