[QUOTE="uninfected1, post: 860831, member: 48923"] Having sung its praises on other threads here in the past, I've had to uninstall Sophos because it has slowed my (not very powerful) tablet to virtually a standstill. It's a shame because in other respects It's outstanding, especially for a free product, but its new Intercept X incarnation seems to be rather more resource heavy than its predecessors. I see that some here recommend Bitdefender but I found that just as tough a load as Sophos, plus it has ads. Avast is even worse. So it's back to the search for a light AV for me too, and the two lightest by some distance I've been trying are Panda (OK, not much love for it amongst the MT faithful) and Eset. Even the paid version of Eset with web protection is pretty darn light, but like some have already mentioned, I'm not convinced that feature is necessary with Android. So I suggest either of the free Panda or Eset versions. [/QUOTE]
