Hello friends, advise an antivirus for a laptop.
I myself am thinking in the direction of Kaspi, but I'm afraid that the whole battery is eating up.

in reality, you only need to install an antivirus when working with the Internet and external media

Or Microsoft Security Essentials (as mentioned above) or Avira FreeAV .
The only remark - in my opinion, you should not look at cloud-based antiviruses, so far they do not live up to expectations and are easily bypassed.
And as an observation, Outpost works in a sparing mode, it does not eat the battery, and there is no superfluous firewall.

On Xp with any antivirus a long time ago, my asus eee pc 1000HE lived stably for 3 hours less. Arch installed, lived from 6 to 8 hours, without any antiviruses.
And you need to install Linux, since this is not for you Core I7 where you can run photoshops, or play toys.
Music - simple player
Movies - vlc
youtbe - minitube
surfing - chrome
IM - pidgin (everything else is not right, we are waiting for qutim 0.3)

I compared two options on my netbook (windows 7 starter): MS SE + Defender and Avast Free. The first mercilessly slowed down the work (it was evident from the utility from sysinternals), although I admit that I probably don’t know how to cook them. On the second flight, it’s normal, but you need to finish it for your tasks, removing everything superfluous and leaving only the really necessary scanners, I have this: file system, web, network.

I have Avast on my laptop, I installed AVG on a netbook just to see what kind of animal it was and somehow got accustomed, the operating time actually decreased by an hour and a half, avast does not eat the battery so much.

And for me, the best antivirus is common sense.

I use ESET Smart Security, the system practically does not load on my EEE PC 1015P.

I use Dr.Web, I stay at home and put it in my office. We received many certificates, among them the FSTEK certificate, FSB licenses, 1s: compatible and others.

If you do not sit under a user with administrator rights, and get confused by setting up software restriction policies, then the antivirus program does not matter which one, I use free avira.
