[neverending]

Hello, im reformatting my PC for different reasons and I'm planning on using a light yet effective security software, i have never been infected on this PC although i did get infected before on my previous pc which was around 4 years ago (a keylogger).
Ill also make a system image right after formatting but i don't know many backup software.

You are not going to use any Real time Anti-virus? In my opinion this is really not recommend

I don't recommend "MSE". The rest are good.

Panda Cloud Anti-virus is light, but probably better to go with Avast or Avira as Huracan stated
