Our organization is currently running Symantec Corporate Antivirus, which is rumored to be a big resource hog. I know that we do have a lot of older machines that are running slow. Our PCs are all running Windows XP Pro and are used only for business applications (mostly Microsoft Office), e-mail, and web surfing. They're not used for gaming (one would hope not, anyway).
I'd like to take one of the old PCs and do a speed benchmark test while it's running Symantec AV, then another test with no antivirus, and a third test with ESET NOD32. As I said, I don't care much about graphics performance.
What would be an appropriate benchmarking program program to use? Freeware is best, of course.
Thank you for considering my question.

The /best/ tool is probably XPerf, but that's probably overkill for what you want. :) – Shinrai – 2011-01-17T21:05:53.290
