Hi,

According to you which is the antivirus more light that consumes less CPU in system?
according to my experience is Microsoft Security Essential
but we we know that it is not a good antivirus
A italian site of free programs every year make a comparison
The results of 2018 were the following:

@Recruit said absolutely correctly, I agree with him fully..

I think, not necessary to waste time. The best thing to do, it is really true, if you only use the programs that you need. 
All of these so-called antivirus programs are unnecessary, they are completely useless or even are harmful to the user. They are only necessary for their producers to earn money. Any of such antiviruses cannot work, their time is gone. The principle is is outdated. Yes, maybe 20 years ago they did something, but not no more.

Totally agree with @Kalju !


Antivirus concept is dead since long time ago.

 

Same as the DVD . Last time when I burned one was many years ago....

I am quite surprised to see lots of people here interested when a new version of Nero or BurnAware is released.

use at least a free AV , Not all people have a high security knowledge even if you have you would miss something at least you will feel a little safe .

Security software is tool with a good brain you gain security like any other tool human use.

se posso dire la mia, resta col Windows Defender, è più che sufficiente

magari ogni tanto fai una scansione con HitmanPro

 

if I can say mine, stay with Windows Defender, it's more than enough
maybe you do a scan with HitmanPro from time to time

 

 

regards

Well, I have a antimalware app., but only for scans,  not for so called " real time protection ".


Nowadays, in most of cases,  malware is more advanced than the apps. responsables to protect against it, so it depends more by the user behavior rather than an app......;)

While I understand the Antivirus limits I don't agree with idea of using No Antivirus especially for those not using Sandbox apps or browsers with no Sandbox technology, I think using a good AV for malwares is a good idea, sometimes you randomly visit a new site for curiosity and if infected with a malware.. it will give you a lesson, for Spaywares isssues I think a Good firewall can take the job.. of course with little knowledge and experience, and at the end nothing is 100% secure.

maybe webroot?

your own brain + good AV suite (I prefer ESET Internet Security with interactive built-in firewall)

Why EIS? Because it's one of the best when you look at false-positives + you can configure everything the way you want

Best antivirus... is your own brain

That's true, but it's so sad that most people do not know what it is. They do not have such things. They think completely independently and in their own way, perhaps with one other body part ..., if they at all thinking about something. They only try to see, what happens if something to do.
They are people of deeds, they do not think anything.
