Light with decent protection? He also has VS.

Adding to what @Arequire suggested, you may

• add Zemana Antimalware & HitmanPro as on-demand scanners. Zemana is usually better than MBAM
• Browser add-on No-Script suite (or similar script control) and allow scripts only on trusted/known websites as needed
• Browser add-on Avira Browser Safety (since uBlock isn't that good in blocking malicious hosts). If conflicts occur between uBlock and ABS, you can replace uBlock with an Adblock
  
• I recommend using a Windows Firewall controller like Binisoft WFC or TinyWall (default protection mode ain't enough in Windows FW), or use a free 3rd party Firewall like ZoneAlarm Free FW. ZA FW also has Process Control to gain more control over the executed processes and actions.

Consider upgrading to Win10 if your system/data protection is quite important. Latest updates make for high percentage of security fixes.

Better and cheaper - I agree.
Lighter...? Which one?

 

[FrFc1908]

webroot is without a doubt the lightest av out there but no the best! but the combo with vs makes it better ( if you use vs pro that is ) thanks for sharing your config with us

Nothing to add here, very good set up on a Local account with all basics covered.

Guys... Be serious please. None of the mentioned come close to Webroot in terms of usage of resources.
But still each of them is better and cheaper

Consider adding an additional on demand scanner(s).
Have you considered migrating to Windows 10?
