[sinu]

Can anyone suggest a free cloud AV which should be light on resource and compatible with other AV?

Crystal Security works fine on Windows 10.

For a true well rounded and proven brand i can recommend Panda Cloud and Immunet Cloud both are true cloud based anti-malware programs.
Both programs feature only a local client and both use pretty much nothing in terms of resources.

You should be perfectly capable of using Panda cloud next to any other AV program.

@sinu Panda Cloud detection is very good but you can notice slowdown. Not sure about Immunet. Free product is still available but their paid product is not available anymore.

Every machine is different, maybe Panda Cloud is not heavy on your system.

Yes, Crystal Security is compatible with Windows 10.

This is what Panda themselves said in 2010 at Panda Cloud AV: is it really compatible with other antimalwares? | Wilders Security Forums :

Just to clarify, a few months ago we changed the way our installer works so that it installs even if there is another AV already installed in the machine. In the past we used to make a hard stop during the install if the installer found any traces of a previous AV installation, even minimal traces.

The reasoning is that advanced users normally run multiple AV/AM tools and are smart enough to turn one or the other off and not run them simultaneously. But as some have reported, Panda Cloud Antivirus will run without problems with other AVs.

But we are *not* saying that Panda Cloud Antivirus is *compatible* with other AVs, simply that it can be installed alongside other AVs. There's just too many combinations out there to check from a QA perspective to make sure they are compatible. As some users have seen, with certain combinations it works flawlessly and with some there's conflicts and/or slowdowns, it really depends on the combination of real-time scanners.

Just to clarify, I did not say that PCAV is compatible with other AVs... I said that the installer will allow it to be installed alongside other AVs. There's a big difference.

To illustrate differently:

Installer = can be installed alongside other AVs = PCAV does not block installation if it detects other AVs present in the system.

AV Compatibility = PCAV is not developed nor tested to be compatible with other AVs. Some people have reported it works with other AVs and it doesn't with others. This does not mean official compatibility.

Another poster on the same thread said:

Someone did a test on a Spanish Security forum and then came and gave shared with us some results:

Kav 2011 (NO)
Nod32 v4 (YES)
Avast! 5 free (YES)
Avira free antivirus (YES)
BitDefender Free Edition (YES)
Norton antivirus (YES, but slows the pc)
Avg (NO, panda and avg detected a virus)

Security Suites:

Kis 2011 (NO)
Eset smart Segurity (NO)
Avira Premium Security Suite (YES)

Now this is in no way official but if you are curious of what others found

Now five years is a long time, and Nico is very knowledgeable, so I wouldn't be in the slightest surprised for there to be more up-to-date detailed and/or official information on this. If someone has it, it would be splendid if you would post it.

In AV testing in recent times Panda and Qihoo have left trailing in the dust the traditional Big 3 of free anti-viruses, AVG, Avira, and avast!
