Well Symantec (Norton) and McAfee are pretty much the standard in antivirus products. I've worked with both and of the two I think the McAfee product is less of a system hog.

Keep in mind though that these days just having antivirus software is NOT enough. You need antispyware software as well. Webroot's Spysweeper is probably the best out there right now. I've worked with a couple of different products and this one was most effective at detecting spyware. You can get Spysweeper with antivirus software from Sophos (another trusted name in corporate antivirus solutions) at http://www.webroot.com/consumer/products...

If you want to take it a step further get yourself a comprehensive suite of security applications. Antivirus, antispyware and a software firewall. A firewall monitors the network traffic coming in and out of your laptop. This is important because both spyware and viruses can generate recognizable network traffic, so firewalls add another layer of protection. Zone Alarm, from Zone Labs, is a very popular software firewall. It's affective and easy to use.
