Uses less resources, and since I'd rather have longer battery life than eye candy on a netbook (it's not my Mac, after all), it works out better for me. Also, I would mention that <a href="www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials">Microsoft Security Essentials</a> is also free and supposedly uses very little resources. Steve Gibson from Security Now suggests using it as your AV software. I also use AVG Free, but this may be worth looking into, as it is supposed to be light on resources.
