There aint no such thing as best av or is

Just keep away from bad sites is the best first step you can do.

If you mean a good suite and above all for free:

I use zonealarm firewall with AV ( with the AV engine of kaspersky ) its a good and effective suite.

Thats my opinion but there are several Free suites and a very good 1 of them is:

http://www.comodo.com/ is still version 5 ( i'm waiting for the 6 version ( is now in Beta stage )

In your technical specifics I do not see your memory ( but with your spec I think its enough ) to handle most of the suites.

Good luck with your choice

I don't like free av bcoz no support/low support for it, different for paid av.

Sorry, RAM is 2 GB, :D

Is comodo good ? Hmm,, can i make it full version for free ? :D

For light system resources, you can try ESET or Comodo IS or Webroot Secureanywhere. ESET has better AV, Comodo has better firewall and Webroot can be used with other AVs if wanted.

Don't try Kaspersky if you want a light solution, it's great in protection but it's not light enough.

@ exodius

Just execute a search and brush up on your reading with the experience that members have recounted - then, after rating & ranking the top 3, try them extensively over a protracted period of time to answer yourself. 8)

BTW, I'm using ESET EAV (which is the best for me) and could've recommended it to you, but - that would be silly how can what is good for me presumed to be good for your tastes & priorities?

However, if you're really interested in personal growth in the domain of computing - forget all about suites (except for the tried-and-tested KIS, all the rest are bird-shit.) If you'd like to get onto the next level - employ standalone applications (just an heads-up.) ;)

When you talk about Internet "security" , AV is not what you should just be installing !

Security encompasses not just an Anti malware set up but a whole lot of many other things ... ;)

Read about Layered Security and learn what Internet Security really actually means .

Sticking with the topic header , i highly recommend what rudrax has already mentioned -- Webroot Cloud AV . Its Ultra Light .. ;)

Going with the commercial more popular choices , the only one worth recommending is - ESET .

End of choices , if "Lightness" is the only criteria .

Norton Internet Security 2013

Why?

1. Very light on system

2. Great protection

3. You can get a genuine 180 day key from Norton unlimited topic or use the trial reset wich also gives 180day, so it's absouletly free, no blacklisted crack or key

Kaspersky is also very good, the 2013 version is lighter than the previous versions.

Yes Comodo is the best firewall I no about.

If you know how to block or ad programs in the firewall you can Use Zonealarm.

Comodo is a good option ( but AV isnt good so you can use the firewall and combine it with Avast or Avira or Panda

There'll all free and you don't need support ( they do the work for you )

Laterrrrrrrr

you can use in shareware eset smart security best for your laptop

excellent silent firewall, low ram consumption

with the eset smart security you can use malwarebyte antimalware, virus detection rate is very good.

other second option in freeware you can use avira antivirus personal,

in avira, file repaire function is very good and virus detection rate good.

personaly i am using eset smart security since 3 years.

you can try this application.

Experimentally I have just removed NAV 2013 enabled Windows defender alongwith MBAM pro ( realtime ). Firewall being outpost pro fully configured. My observations in 24 hrs:

1. System response time has improved ( after full system scan with both, respecrively ).

2. MSE caught a missed virus in blackberry keygen.

3. Psychologically hard to digest that system is without Norton but since defender / MSE is hardcoded in windows 8 gives it an edge over others.

Free Avast and Free Comodo Firewall will cover you nicely, Plus Firefox wit all its newest protection.

The above member suggested not going to any of the " Baddy Sites" is good advice, however even legitimate sites are getting hit more and more each day. You can pick up some nasty viruses on a lot of the smaller sites; they can't protect you as well as the big guys.

Hi all,

Thank you for your attention. :)

There are AV that your suggestion for me:

1. Webroot SecureAnywhere

2. ESET

3. AVAST

4. Comodo

5. Norton IS

6. Panda

Hmm, i'm confuse, but i will try Eset smart security .

Where i can download it full version ? whenever possible without crack, i'm paranoid with AV + crack. :D
