[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1074293, member: 19756"] I'm currently using Kaspersky with a new PC running Win 11 Pro, but I turned off HTTPs scanning and used Malwarebytes Browser with uBlock Origin in Firefox. It had a few popups even after I turned off all notifications in the settings in both the app and web, and they haven't showed up since. It appears to be the lightest so far. I think the Novabench score I got for it was 2494 (the higher, the better). I used the built-in AV, and it felt like it was the heaviest in several cases. I think the Novabench score I got for it with core isolation turned on was 2218. I used Avast, and it was OK but felt a bit heavier. Its Novabench score was similar to that of Kaspersky. Also, I had to turn on game and do not disturb modes to stop notifications. I tried Bitdefender, and it also felt a bit heavier. Its Novabench score was similar to that of Kaspersky. I also couldn't turn off features like HTTPs scanning without it showing a warning in the app and in the system tray. [/QUOTE]
