But the problem of bitdefender is internet. It put your internet very slow and sometime crash. 360 IS use bitdefender engine, and it have the same problem?

bitdefender-engine in other vendors makes no such problems... ;)

My opinion.
Avira, Avast, Panda.
Choose what you like. Panda depends almost totally on internet connection as its a cloud av. Avira is mostly a signature based product while having a cloud module and avast is more balanced as compared to the other two.

360 isn't lightweight it use to much ram ...better to go for BD Free With any Firewall (Didn't used too many antivirus)
Lightweight doesn't mean low RAM usage, ESET uses 60-70MB RAM but is very light and I can surf the web at normal speed when scans are running (no slowdowns).

BD Free is probably discontinued or in BD's back of their head, it has no option for on-demand scan and it auto-quarantine.

Hello friend I recommend these 3 but the best of them is ESET.

Eset charges.

Avira Free is consuming less resources, but because it has a firewall, but also has a good detection rate.

Avast Free has no firewall and consumes few resources, but detection is average.

Eset, Avira or Avast.

you're wrong... Qihoo 360 IS is more lighter ... only 360 TS with all engines have a higher consumption... ;)
I had 360 total security in mind ...maybe I'm wrong never used it :)

My Bad I thought it also included Low Ram uses. they are providing a program so called 60-second virus scanner

Avira free does nor have a firewall, it just has a simple module to see if windows firewall is on.
