Battle Fast and quick alternative to MD?

[Slerion]

Like CPU Wise the least CPU usage in idle possible and also not slowing down program / game starts as much ( i dont care about ram only used ram is good ram empty ram is wasted ram )

sadly cant find anywhere any benchmarks which just focus on starting time of programms and CPU usage they all incorporate ram :/

Perfect would be like Panda AV with good detection ( they sadly got worse after their aquisition ) or webroot with actual detections

ESET's widely considered to be light and have a low impact on system performance.

Whatever AV you pick, I'd suggest using the 30-day trial all AV vendors offer to evaluate the performance impact yourself before committing.

ESET and F-Secure are good options, Try both of these and then make a decision.

F-Secure or Bullguard is my first choice for gaming systems

 

[blackice]

ESET, F-Secure, and maybe Bitdefender since RAM isn't an issue.

 

[SeriousHoax]

ESET, Bitdefender and Norton among paid solutions. Among free alternatives, I think Avast Free is low on CPU as well if you don't install the bloats.

F-Secure, Eset, Avast!
