the big camertial antivirus software tend to be resorce hogs, althow I have herd that norton has gottin better, I still won't use it, avg is vary lite and works
my new laptop came with a trial of McAFee on it, I didn't evin activate it I just took it off, I hate is when computer builders install trial ware on a new ssytem and try to crowbar money out of people.

Avast! Antivirus doesn't use too much system resources

Bitdefender slows down my computer and internet

I bleed all over computers that have Norton of McAfee.

When I had McAfee on my first computer and tried to delete it, it tried to take half of my computer information with it. Had to MANUALLY extract all the files without using the uninstall feature to save everything. >

Kaspersky uses a lot of memory when it's deep scanning, but you would only really be scanning if you weren't doing anything else. Malwarebytes...not so much. :3 Pretty light on the hardware, so I can run Malwarebytes and Kaspersky scans at the same time. You know, for that fresh clean feeling.
@Kabuitsu- Kaspersky is totally worth it. It comes with a bunch of other things besides antivirus that are nifty, like the virtual keyboard and the ability to scan portable drives. Russians know their Antivirus! (Just wish their forum with the skins was in English...)

Sorry, should have added a TL;DR at the end of that one, lol.
Norton isn't that bad. It's cheaper than a lot of others and works for a lot of people.
Just not my mug of mead. (Crap, I've been playing too much Oblivion...) I'll stick with mah Kaspersky.
