if you just want a simple easy dont-really-understand-but-need-antivirus approach, then avg is probably the go..

but if your really looking to maximize your pc's performance, then you want an on-demand scanner rather than a resident one. Any resident virus scanner will constantly consume some system resources. an on-demand scanner will only do so whilst it is scanning.

The free version of Malware Bytes Anti-Malware does not contain the resident module, only the on-demand scanner. it comes highly recommended
