Webroot SecureAnywhere is a good option for old pc or machine who have a few memory RAM (512 mb - 2 GB).

I voted for Avast, but! Comodo is also a good choice.

 

[viktik]

bitdefender antivirus free and avira would be the lightest on system resources.

My old laptop relies on bitdefender antivirus free. Spec. Intel Celeron M 360 / 1.4 GHz , 512 mb ram, 40.0 GB - 4200.0 rpm hard disk.

I'm using KAV, have also used KIS. Both run flawlessly and doesn't slow down the computer. I have a identical PC, only the HDD is 160 GB. I have also used Webroot SecureAnywhere along with it for a few days and had no problems and it was same with Chica-PC Shield (MBAM). Though both the Kasperskys were 2013 versions. Also have tried Pure 2, but it takes very long to boot.

before i use bit total 2014 it have many bug and my system slowdown .now i use eset+malwarebyte+hitmanpro

 

[indra11tng]

I vote Kompas Antivirus

 

[taipun]

bit sphere(total)key 500day left idont use it now my pc is old . u can use it

*Key removed,if it can be of use to you please discuss this with taipun via Private Messaging "conversation"

 

[Venustus]

Qihu360 or Eset
Both are very light!

 

[conceptualclarity]

Webroot SecureAnywhere is the lightest AV I've had. Lighter than Microsoft, avast! free, and Panda Cloud free. The problem is the darn thing loves to go after perfectly harmless software on my system. It really seems to believe I shouldn't have clipboard and screenshot programs. Refusing my attempts to whitelist infuriates me.

If I can get a fix for those behaviors I'll be really happy with it.

 

[Sven]

Webroot Secure Anywhere + common sense, or Microsoft Security Essentials + common sense will be more than enough.

Thanks

[BoraMurdar]

Webroot

 

[taipun]

Thank for all answer now i use webroot it very light on system

 

[vrb93]

On freeware side you can give them a try: BDfree, 360IS, Panda Cloud Free
i noticed that Roboscan is maybe the lightest i've ever seen, but the problem is its effectiveness
