What did they think was going to happen? Burglars don't have computers - they nick them, but they hardly get broadband as you can't steal that. Those ppl in that village are stupid.

I certainly don't find any noticable slowness on my machine while running AVG. In think unless you have a stone-age PC, you shouldn't have too much difficulty running an anti-virus package, especially with modern dual-core processors.

Even the telegraph article you link to concludes with a recommendation to purchase your credit report regularly. As you point out, scaremongering is often in the interest of the media - just think of computing publications / blogs etc. which make half their money from selling ad space to anti-virus software makers.
