I want an anti-virus for my new Razer Blade. I know Kaspersky is good all around protection, but Trend-Micro is good with social media. I do next to no social media and internet buying, but I want a paid anti-virus (bug-free), that will be lightest load possible on the system yet still effective. So I guess I'll list some I'm considering... Trend-Micro, Kaspersky, Webroot, and (maybe Norton/BitDefender).
 
Go with Bitdefender or i recommend http://www.avast.com/

They have a free version, but also if you want to pay for it: http://www.avast.com/en-us/store

It features web protection so even if you are visiting a questionable website, Avast will block any incoming malware. I've tested it with known malware infested sites so it does really well imo and i haven't had a virus or anything with it. AVG is another good Anti-Virus protection so it's really up to you which one you want to go with. I don't know about Trend-Micro, Kaspersky, Webroot and i pretty much won't bother with Norton. Bitdefender does have a bit of excessive load at some points, it didn't seem to work well with my older desktop at the time, Avast works better imo. You can test, AVG, Avast and i believe Bitdefender has a free version as well to see which one you would like the best.
