Use Eset recommend 360is ...
High detection zero day, a good proactive defense, super lightweight and easy to tinker
In the near future 360TS
Not recommend Comodo ..

Missed Microsoft antivirus, MSE and Windows Defender (Windows 8.1)

I'm using Qihoo Total Security on my Win 7, 4 GB Ram (64bit) desktop with Windows Firewall. It's using about 145 megs with both Avira & Bitfender engines running. I don't feel any slowdowns!

for now i'm using norton but not recommend it.
at all one of my problem in selecting an antivirus is finding a free or fully featured trial account for it and norton is one of them i guess.
but i recommend avast! ,webroot,... light anti viruses for playing game smoothly :D:cool:

ESET should definitely be on the list, it has a lot of fans around here. :p

I use it too, but only the antivirus component (NOD32).

How much 360 Total Security uses RAM ? I saw somewhere 42, somewhere 30 and somewhere ~120 MB.

It depends, most of security suites use in idle PC mode ~20 MB, in normal mode ~80. In scanning files, it depends a lot. I saw that QTS use around 160 MB. ;)

Even if I use avast on other PC, I also use Kaspersky IS 2014, probably the strongest internet security suite. ;)
