I need an antivirus that has the following:

1- Provides full protection yet very light on RAM and CPU.
2- Doesn't delete stuff behind my back (Avast now is deleting programs without my permission, even if I add the exceptions)

3- Preferably, has a great VPN service.
4- Preferably, a license for multiple devices.

What do you mean when you say it's deleting things behind your back?
AV is going to act on what it considers risks. Keygens, cracked .exe files, loaders, all that manner of thing will be considered a threat/virus and the AV program does what it does.

You may need to expound on this some as helping with "pirate" type stuff isn't allowed and your post sort of sets my spidey sense tingling.....if it's on the up and up, my apologies, but you may need to give us a better idea what's going on.

Kaspersky's AV runs but 1% CPU usage on even my 4 yr old 4c/8t 7700K, and 15-19% CPU usage during a directed quick scan...; I'm sure they have paid bundles that include their VPN service, if you feel you feel need your VPN service to 'match' or be bundled with your AV, for some reason...
