This is not true, unless your PC less than 8 CPU threads, lack of RAM and no SSD for OS drive. sad.gif

many anti-virus take up alot of ram that's why u will feel lag..

Clam is antivirus. But the clam if free so no real-time protection. Now open source create another name Clam Sentinel, so with Clam n Clam sentinel, u got real-time protection

Use Microsoft Windows Defender and invest in a good VPN service. I've subscribed to Private Internet Access is one of the most reliable and affordable VPN service. Currently subscribed to NordVPN to try out access to Netflix US but so far only possible on Android phone.

This comodo. Its free. You can choose anti virus, but i prefer internet security

Pros: Not slow
Cons: Not suitable for person who dont know computer. They will popup what should I do for unknown program

Don't use AV software at all. Nowdays we can't trust to AV software vendors (what do they do with your personal data?). Finally, AV very often treat good software (but packed by some packer like boxedapp, or turbo, or vmprotect) as malware and at the same time threats real malware as good software! My opinion is that AV industry exists only because of aggressive marketing. No more. Wash your hands with water, don't install strange software from strange websites, keep your Windows fresh. And you will not need AV. Dixi!

Best antivirus is Windows Defender (free) in your PC and your common sense not to install malicious softwares.
You can also use Firefox with NoScript, Decentraleyes and an AdBlocker add-ons for safer browsing.

Correct.

Avast and Avira is the least memory consumption for any pc.
if these two is still lag, means no other software can help.
best solution is remove all and just rely on defender

Windows defender is ok as long as you discipline yourself. Bitdefender free ver is pretty good. For paid, I have been using Nod32 for over 8 years.

I will choose Windows 10 windows defender Security Center too, because Microsoft know better their OS system than other Antivirus software.

Due to this the antivirus software cost drop a lot.
