Martin's new PC configuration

[Martiin]

My new PC parts are going to arrive in a week (it has an i7 processor and 8GB ram) and im trying to make my new computer as smooth as possible, I don't need much protection because im careful while browsing the internet and downloading things. I have decided to go with: MBAE, MBAM and Sandboxie free, im not sure which AV to use for realtime, Im not going to use windows defender because of how useless it proved it is, but i would also like something relatively light.

windows defender is not light.
consider using bitdefender free antivirus.

Sounds nice, but does it use the same engine that it uses in it's premium version?

Everytime I see the word 'light', the first thing that comes to my mind is Norton. lol..... Its relatively light and good on protection. If you wanna try, then here's a link to a 6 months norton antivirus installer.

Note: Even though it states Norton Antivirus 2012, the online downloader will download the latest version of the said software. So don't worry.

if you looking for lightness:

Webroot SA
ESET Smart Security
Comodo IS

Bitdefender Free requires a registered account, and can be problematic to delete.

Love these litte smileys.. Seriously, on windows 8.1, you think windows defender is not light?

I would rather stick with windows built in protection than go with Bitdefender.You have SBIE and seem like you are careful about your browsing and downloads so that should be enough.WSA & ESS are very light and run well on 8.1.Thanks for sharing your config
