Battle Best antivirus for low memory

[superboy123]

hello everyone...
I would like to ask which antivirus is better for a low spec computer (low ram/ CPU specs).

2013 i´m impressionate with Norton AV. For me was number one. Are discret, light, and works like an "invisible" AV.
Actually i love MSE

I voted Avast although I've never used their suite. But if the suite is as efficient as the free version then it's good to go. One other than wasn't on the list is Panda. I know some folks are suspicious/distrustful of its cloud aspect. But if you are not one of them and lite-ness is vital, Panda shouldn't be overlooked.

why vipre not in list?

Because you can choose 'Other', then state it in your reply. Poll is currently limited to 10 options.

I am using Bitdefender Antivirus Free edition. It consumes only 50 MB or lower. (I'm a gamer)

Bitdefender free is good...

I also used Avast! Free antivirus and is a very good choice. But I will go for Bitdefender free

Not a suite, but worth mentioning: Baidu AV has made a good impression on me lately, and it runs very light without the Avira engine in real-time.

Avira Internet Security has lowest performance impact by far in that list. Or you can choose Webroot SecureAnywhere.

Avira!

10 MB in memory for Tiranium

 

[Oxygen]

100 MB in memory for Tiranium

Is this the lowest out of all AVS?

 

[Neno]

Far from it. There are lots of suites that have smaller memory footprint.

Avast uses about 10 mb of RAM, Comodo too
Eset is also very light on the system but sometimes memory usage exceeds 90mb

Those 3 are my pick

Bitdefender free, just give it a bit time or CIS 6.2 (no more than 10mb or ram usage on my pc).

no AV out there uses 10 mb. not yet anyway
comodo and Bitdefender free very heavy for pentium

MSE is the best option for freeware

MSE is really light, but ESET is better

Now how did you arrive at that when webroot only use 4mb

 

[nissimezra]

MSE is really light, but ESET is better

Agree
Eset can be tweek to be light as well by changing startup scan

Sometimes i don't even know eset is on the system.

never seen AV that use 10 mb
if you think it is then try to disable it and check the difference in memory use
dont look only on the av process it is using sys process as well

 

[Terry Ganzi]

Since some people in this thread have convenient eyesight for low memory footprint,then let me ask which av uses around 4mb's or less,well i know for a fact webroot uses 4mb.
