I haven't tried Bitdefender Free Edition, so I won't have a clue on how good it is.

What is the setup you have for your malware testing? Also only thing that I can see that you could add is a password manager to Firefox.

VirtualBox 4.2, Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit, 512Mo in Ram .

I do not have a very powerful machine so I can not go up more than 512MB in RAM (sorry for my poor English ^^)

Ahh, I see. Just wondering what people are using for their malware testing.

Bitdefender Free is considered as okey product despite of controversies regarding from features.

Interesting choice, not seen many opt for Trend Micro, but looks good to me. :D

@starchild, I've only ever noticed a performance drop on Windows 8 is after installing realtime 3rd-party security software. Not sure why, but I'm assuming since the Start Screen app loads first, the Desktop apps come second.

earth I am satisfied with Norton Internet Security right now on my win 8 64 bit machine. ram usage is a tad high , to be fair , but I do not notice any lags or slowdowns , which whas the case with norton 360. startup of my machine is superquick and also the webbrowsing is quick , even with chrome :D

Its really true that NIS doesn't affect its performance even at medium-high usage.

I've used like no AV due on decent response time.

Do you use any cleaning utilities like ccleaner?
or perhaps a defragger?
