ESET or Bitdefender or Kaspersky

Which is better for low config system with very good protection ??? ( 4 GB RAM, Core i3 2nd Gen Processor, 128 GB SSD ), Currently it's not possible to extend RAM.

Please share your valuable opinion. Thanks. Take Care all...

none- even kaspersky which is good but no good -privacy and country problems

Privacy issue?? Country problem means????

I use Bitdefender on a second generation i3 with 4gb of RAM (my father in law's computer he doesn't want to upgrade ) with no problems. The only way to know is testing it.

The impact of any security software on system performance really depends on a lot of things, from whatever else you have running to driver versions installed. That's why we get the never-ending discussions of product x slows down computers/no it doesn't in forums. It's quite relative to what you are running.

Of course, it's much easier to test it on a few personal computers than a few hundred computers in a corporative environment, so, make use of those trial periods

Okay I'll try Bitdefender Antivirus on my PC then post experience of usage

In terms of protection against malware, there is not much difference between them both, with Kaspersky getting a slight edge in the second Real-Time Protection test, so Kaspersky is the winner here. Both products have proven that they are very effective security solutions.
Kaspersky excels with its easy to use interface and automation features, while Bitdefender gets the edge on overall detection rates and laboratory test results, but with a slightly more difficult learning curve.

Okay but if Bitdefender cause slowdown??

but with a slightly more difficult learning curve.

Bitdender is install and forget. I do not see any difficult learning curve.

Hard to choose to be honest. They all have their pros and cons. If you want simple and effective, go BitDefender. If you are a more advanced user and like to tweak things, go Kaspersky or ESET.

i believe it's the other way around. BD = simple, automatic. K = highly configurable.

Bitdefender comes configured to almost maximum protection from the moment you install. Actually if you don't feel unsafe just because the firewall is on automatic, you can say it is in maximum protection. Kaspersky and ESET require some tweaking to achieve maximum protection.

To be frank their default configs are enough for a normal user in all 3 cases. Power users will probably prefer the configurability of Kaspersky/ESET, although some just want something to install and forget as well.
