I've just been asked to look in on a local charity

the usual story - no AV apps, no firewalls
and using old PC's that have been donated -
a mix of Pentium 2 and Pentium 1
( quite a few at 166MHz )

the obvious suggestion:
negotiate a site license for an AV app

any suggestions as to one that will be **useable**
on a range of such low-spec PC's, without
compromising detection
( and comments on whether that itself is a realistic goal )

Give F-Prot for Windows <http://www.f-prot.com> a try. It's very light
resources and the site licensing fees are quite reasonable (about $50.00
for 10 computers).

Honestly I suggest you try Sophos.
It ran fine on my old 233Mhz cyrix 6x86 powered 98se machine with 128Mb RAM.
