Quality Antivirus that is Resource Lite - 06/2020

[M1K33EE]

Hello good people,

I am in the process of making the switch from Mac to the ‘Darkside’ and I’m in the need of some advice and suggestions for a quality Antivirus package that doesn’t take a toll on your system’s resources. 
live spent the last few hours reading multiple websites full of reviews, which all seem to give conflicting recommendations, along with being difficult to identify if I’m reading an ‘advertisement’ disguised to look like a review or are giving biased opinions because the writer has been given a ‘free key.’
I’ve been using Avast (free version) on my Mac’s but I am sick and tired of the continuos bombardment of pop-ups trying to get me to give them money - and I suspect this will be no different with the Win10 version - no thank you. . 
i have also read through the most recent posts that others have put up asking a similar question as myself, but so far I’ve not found a clear winning package recommended, over and above of Windows Defender. 
From all of the YTubes I’ve watched and the sites I’ve looked at, I am considering ESET - has anybody had any real-world experience of this package?

Interested in reading people’s suggestions on this topic. 
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Windows Defender, iirc, is a top rated free virus protection software with minimal system impact

Couple that with Malwarebytes free version and that's a pretty stellar combo imho, for nothing.

I don't use AV , only scan with Spybot S&D and free version of Avast once a year. 

If i ever would buy AV - I would buy Eset (NOD32)

I would normally say Bitdefender for lightness and silent operation. But I haven't used free edition for few years now. So if I were to pick now, I would look at protection tests and pick best constant score over last few months. If that is too annoying, move to next. That's how I'm with Bitdefender.
