Hello, It very much depend on your system, how much power it has, I have 8GB DDR4 RAM & Radeon Graphics with a Ryzen 5 processor, perhaps it is not written in the right order, I am no techie, But my absolute favorite AV after trying so many is and will always be(I think) Bitdefender Total Security.

Just stick with it because it's enough protection as is.

F-Secure since they dropped CrapDefender.

Kaspersky, ESET and Norton are also good (I don't recomment Norton since they don't care about Home Users).

I am selling almost all the mentioned anti-viruses and to be honest I am not a fanboy of any one of the brands (as anyone has his or her opinion based on the personal experiences and needs which is respectable). But what I have heard from our customers F-Secure after moving to Avira signatures seems to be satisfying for them speed-wise (based on many reviews).

Avira recently was acquired by a Bank with the headquarters in Bahrain. They have chosen a very dangerous way of marketing which is cutting the partners unlike many successful companies like Kaspersky. So who knows till when Avira would be able to do a good job with research and offering good signatures to other companies such as F-Secure. Obviously when a bank takes over everything will only be MONEY MONEY... and no attention to what users and webmasters want.

The same end of Symantec, sadly.

From my experience using several AVs, I found F-secure and Eset have low impact on resources.

 

[Nevi]

Probably wrong typing from you? ESET doesn't offering a great BB (behavior blocker), only similar module known as HIPS!

Isn't the new "deep behavioral inspector" in the HIPS something that come close?

I'm a bit of a fan of ESET, this new PC don't need a light AV though but I also feel Norton 360 isn't far behind ESET & much cheaper at least in Europe.

 

[bribon77]

Well, I agree with all the comments that have been made,
But, AVs slow down more than system tools (at least it seems more fluid)
Although I have tried some AV, which have surprised me, like K7, F secure very light.
Still, my choice would be Comodo Firewall.

Using Bitdefender from the past few years and it's quite fast and has good battery life.

 

[giulia]

eset , nod32 , it's really very fast on every computer i installed , real time protection it 's really very fast
i can't feel difference with real time protection disabled or enalbed

To answer the OP's question, F-Secure and Eset I've found to be among the fastest.

However, if F-Secure loses the Avira signatures, I'll be going with ESET.

 

[SerialCart]

I don’t think of they are gonna loose Avira signatures soon... but lets see if Avira can keep up with the good work.

Yeah I remember wisevecter to be lighter till they added a few features(still pretty light on average).
But I can't tell how it is against the products above since most I haven't tested at all or in a long time .

Yes, the Pro version with Bitdefender signatures is not that bad. There are much better options, but it is not the worst AV.
