For Windows 8.1 Update 1 (x64), nothing beats Windows default security for performance.
It is impossible to say which would provide you with the best protection it all depends on a number of things:
1. Your downloading and surfing habits. (Do you always only download files from trusted sources and always utilize UAC prompts?)
2. Do you keep Windows and your online software updated? (especially browsers and browser plugins)
3. Do you know how to tell the difference between legitimate websites and malicious sites (fake alert sites)?
4. Do you allow other users to use your system on an Admin account without supervision?
5. Do you use browser security extensions to help avoid malicious sites and phishing scams?
The the answer is yes to all the above, then Windows default security will be all that you need.
As long as you have a backup plan just in case.
Enjoy!!

1) Antivirus Software are always bloated on your RAM or you could choose MSE which is Defender?
2) Comodo is the best security for the job

Will not have all Anti leak blocking, but great performance yes. I've use all default security on Windows 8 at about 31% of RAM spike, and might drop down at 28% or 29% RAM! The same as Windows 7 and less, because I also disable a few Windows services as well!

"Ram bloating" does not necessarily mean a sluggish system!
"Cpu hogging" would be my concern!
I recommend Eset&CFW
I also agree to this as well! Both RAM and CPU used should be watched.
I'm taking Avast for a spin!
Firefox uses more RAM lol!

It is a good product but I found it to be sluggish in terms of web browsing!
Your mileage may vary!
All Antiviruses have security leaks apart from Comodo, I use Windows to plug them such as UAC Mode ect.

Is the free comodo equally effective when we compare it with the paid sibling ??

Yes!!Is the free comodo equally effective when we compare it with the paid sibling ??
I don't like the Comodo firewall, because I like my product "Windows Firewall Console 9.0" with Comodo Antivirus free with only HIPS Protection running on it!

But scanning speeds are like suicidal for many of them including Bitdefender ( using it currently)
Its detection rate is not good but it can protect you from unknowns. Proactive Defence is great that Matousec (neutral platform) saidIs the free comodo equally effective when we compare it with the paid sibling ??
