[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 993573, member: 31436"] As already mentioned RAM usage has no relationship to system performance. The only case where RAM usage matters is if your computer doesn't have enough RAM, e.g. 4GB or less, otherwise it's not even worth caring about. I recommend ESET and K7. They are two of the lightest antiviruses there are and should have very minimal system impact on low end hardware. ESET provides better protection, but K7 is still decent. In my experience they are noticably lighter than some of the other products that have been recommended (such as Avast, Bitdefender and F-Secure), while still providing good protection. Because antivirus performance can vary from one computer to the next, the only way to know how either one will perform for you is to install a trial version. Having said that, both ESET and K7 should have very minimal system performance on pretty much any computer they are installed on. [/QUOTE]
