Norton Anti-Virus (NAV) version 2001 or 2002.

Don't let the age of the product fool you. If you install NAV 2001 or
2002, and once you perform the first on-line update, the product will
update itself with the latest scan engine and virus definition files.

NAV 2001 and 2002 have very small resource utilization, unlike newer
versions.

I have used NAV 2002 on all the OS's you have listed except win-95 and
win-me, but I expect it to work on those as well.

NAV 2001 or 2002 is available on a stand-alone product, or as part of
Norton System Works (NSW) 2001 and 2002. They are available on
torrents, p2p, etc.

The product does not require registration or validation to be
functional or to update itself.

Once installed, the product will begin a 1 year (365 day) countdown at
which point it will tell you to purchase an additional year of update
service, which you can avoid by un-installing and re-installing the
product and obtain another year of update service.

Centralised update management preferred but not essential.

You can configure the product to seek out and install updates on a
schedule.
