I've been using Avast for years now, before that I used F-secure. F-Secure got too bloated and slow and at the time Avast seemed like a light-weight and powerful AV.

Now I am thinking of moving to AVG, it seems lighter, or finding some other solution. I don't even use half the "features" of Avast Premier. I only want File/Web/Behaviour shields, sandbox, and the Software Updater. Even thinking of giving up paid AV and just sticking with M$ Defender and Firewall. I think I'm security-conscious enough to avoid the worst sh*t anyway.

I have no use for all the other word not allowed Avast constantly try to push on me, and I have to pay for. Because I have their software they see it as a way to push ads my way for even more stuff. I have to actively turn off every one of their notification settings to avoid this constant nagging to get their "Ultimate Edition". Therefore, i am looking for better options and i compared Avast with AVG here  https://www.reviewsed.com/avg-vs-avast/ and it seems AVG now my good to go option. Lets see how it will work

I'm using Windows Defender for real-time protection and Malwarebytes for regular scans. Also, I don't recommend Norton as I find it really invasive.
