I have a Windows 10 machine and plan to keep it always updated with Windows Defender active at all times.
It has no other antivirus on it.
I also have a Windows 7 machine with no antivirus.

What are the best antiviruses I can buy, that are compatible with Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware and aren't resource-heavy? I plan to use MBAM + The same antivirus on both windows machines.

All help is appreciated.

Sphos uses about 5-10% of my laptops Intel Core i5-2467m 1.4Ghz Dual Core so it might be a good option but you could just use Malware-Bytes and scan every few days?

Sophos uses 90% HDD during boot, causes my PC to fail starting frequently.

If you got a SSD, you should be fine.

i run eset the cheaper version 2 years was 40$ its wonderful compared to crapeffe and nortian . since you need 2 copies of it go for eset or one that gives you a discount on more then one . its very light and has gamer mode if you never every want to see if it is going a update . when it scans its fairly light will use about 50-80% on the quick mode but does a good scan in about a hour if your under 1mill total scan areas . try their trial they have the 30 day and i think a 90 day one link on twitter i think . also one pc can scan anything on the network which is nice if you have the perms set up right

Malware includes PUP's while anti virus is what it says

PUP = Potentially Unwanted Programe

I have been using Avast for many years. I even have a subscription now, although it is not needed. I never notice it is there, so it hardly uses resources.

I use 360 Total Security on my desktop which is free.

You Should not buy a anti virus it wont give you much of a different except for a bunch of features that you can just do manually, i recommend Avast Free Anti Virus not only is this free but it is very power full and is compatible with malware bytes 

 

PLEASE READ THIS NEXT PART IMPORTANT

 

 i want you to know that if you get a 3rd party anti virus like avast you should disable windows defender in order to prevent against Program Collision it could completely break your PC After A windows update. i hoped this helped and good luck
