If it works & you can afford to pay then keep it.If not then try kaspersky free version as suggested by @SaiyanGoku or avira free or avast free & then keep the one which gives you least amount of issues/no issues.

Because it is a resource eating hog.

I may not agree with that! I have been using bitdefender for several years now and yet to have any trouble. I have relatively a good system but yet I did not experience bitdefender hogging up my resources.

your best bet is to try trial versions of such products for 1 month and get the one which you think you got the least trouble with. eset is the lightest among bitdefender and KIS. Try, Pick and then buy!

I have used the PAID versions of Bitdefender,eset,Kaspersky,F7 and the sh!tty QuickHeal too. All for 1 year license and didn't renew again.
Now I am currently on the PAID version of Avast! onto my Desktop.
My DELL Inspiron 14 5447 laptop is running 360 Total Security paid version.
Admittedly, Bitdefender and Kaspersky are the best and go by neck to neck in their features and functioning. But at the same time I have seen my PC to run slower,due to this two particular security suite.
I have witnessed of folder being taking ages to open. Even after proper defragmentation and proper maintenance of Windows OS.
My BEST satisfiable functioning and running of AV/Internet security suites are eset and K7.
I never felt any slowdown of my PC,yet the AV suites performed their job excellently by "quarantining" different virus , trojan ,malware attack,with TRUE positives,never False positives.
This is according to my experience,for the past few years.
It is Bitdefender free with different name
Don't experiment with "free new AV" when well established ones like Avira & Avast are already there.

I am on Windows 10 Pro now. For me it has been Windows Defender since the Windows 8/8.1 days. I pair it with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free version and the combination has been great so far. Of course safe-browsing and downloading habits help too.

I couldn't agree more. I don't understand why people still pay for anti viruses, no offense. Of course WD is below KAV etc. but combine it with your last line and one is good to go.

its like taking water bottle from home or buying Bisleri on the way
I have very good experience of using Bit Defender Free Version. You won't fibd it on its Indian Site. Just go to their Global site.
Also as there is no need to physically connect pendrive & Mobile to Laptop, chances of spreading viruses are less, I think so. I keep my antivirus disabled unless I wish to use pendrive.

Honestly never knew such a thing existed.

Why is everyone in india obsessed with quick heal antivirus?The go-to choice for most folks (even reasonably tech-savvy ones)when it comes to security solutions is inevitably quick heal,when other paid alternatives that are not only cheaper(quick heal is really overpriced imho)but are also more efficient are readily available.Even in schools and colleges most computer teachers seem to advocate the use of quick-heal and that just reinforces the idea that its a good a/v software,which is actually far from the truth.
