I'm looking for a decent free antivirus that is not intrusive, light, simple and easy to use.

I've done some research and I like the look of Panda, however, I wish you were able to schedule updates.

I dislike automatic updates because it causes my ping to skyrocket, which is incredibly frustrating when playing CSGO.

My main concern is lag and an increase in ping, this is my worry because my PC is used for gaming.

Thank you in advance.

Windows Defender is a part of Windows 10 and should be running on your PC if no antivirus software is installed. It's rated pretty good, but not the best.
