Webroot is the lightest of all.
AV should work 745kb install file and all the work done in the Cloud and 3 to 6MB of RAM usage

In terms of RAM usage, I'll give the nod to Comodo Internet Security 7, however I prefer ESET Smart Security 7 overall as it feels light when performing tasks (scans, browsing, etc.) and it's disk / cpu usage is very low as well.

I just didn't try all of them so it's difficult to answer for all.

Moreover all solutions I tried recently were really light on my PC:
Kaspersky,
Comodo,
Eset,
Emsisoft,
Avast.

So my choice would be all these 5 if there were a multiple choice option.

Use eset here, totally bland, no startup delays, beyond her Comodo, avast, avg are quite light, at least in my tests. I think heavy bitdefender and kaspersky takes at least here to open after boot

I would say Bit defender is very light on system resources, though ESET too is a favorable candidate but bit defender has an edge over eset in terms of detection rate and performance.ESET sometimes struggle to delete infected files.

I agree that Web root uses far less pc resources than any other pc security software. Yet, despite its lightness, it has produced a blue screen on my laptop on each of the 5 occasions I installed it. Bitdefender 2014 has a good reputation, but not on windows 8.1. F-secure internet 2014 tends to slow down my laptop, as does Eset Smart security 7, and Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 . My choice, believe or not, is Norton 360 2014. It boots quickly, according to BootRacer, and blends well with win 8.1 without hogging system resources.

@purshupro Why not use Webroot as a standalone product for about 7 days, before thinking of using it as a complimentary product. Because to me, it sounds like you're doubting Webroot.

thank u for u suggestion, well the reason i'm doubting because i googled in AV-comparatives, AV-test, VB 100, Toptenreviews, i saw webroot was out of the list and i was thinking. when i downloaded myself ine of ur malware packs , it couldnt detect, whereas bitdefender detected that. So i'm thinking to settle with which.

You should be worried about bad PC browsing habits, not if Webroot didn't detect a pack of malware. Ok, sure it does sound better if it did find threats, but if you can steer clear from malware, then I don't see the problem with using Webroot standalone.
