Hello,
I have an old PC with Windows XP SP3 which I intend to keep because of some software that runs only on XP (I could use virtual machine but it would still need this).
Now what is the lightweightest and fastest antivirus which still supports Win XP?
I've tried a few, Bitdefender and Kaspersky, and they were really slowing down the PC (which is actually not bad regarding to components, core2duo e4600 2.4 ghz with 4 gb ram), and tried Baidu which worked fine but they stop updating it.
Now, according to this site, there exist at least 10 major AV providers that keep their suites updated to Win XP. Note: I only need basic AV protection (and free).
Does anyone have hands-on experience with an AV that is fast on Win XP here?

Free Antivirus For Windows Xp
- Bullguard, Panda Security Cloud Antivirus Free, Kaspersky Lab, McAfee and Bitdefender are some of the best antivirus solutions that you can install on your Windows XP computer. Some of these tools are free, while others come with a price tag.
- Sep 04, 2017 Can second Avast as well. Not a bad antivirus, back in the actual Windows XP days, it was a strong solution against issues. It is now, with some quirks here and there. But a lot of antivirus solutions still support Windows XP as it is being used by people (For some reason).
- Avast Free Antivirus took the top spot thanks to a combination of great test results and built-in features. In addition to its proven malware protection and excellent phishing protection, Avast packs in a basic password manager, a secure web browser, and more.
