Anything that consumes resources like RAM or CPU power will slow your PC down, some noticeable and some are not.

So mag depende ghapon sa specs sa pc bro? Currently I'm using i3 skylake setup.

Ma notice ba ang changes sa pc if mag install ug anti virus?

if win 7 or later imo os boss you are safe with Windows Defender. however if hilig kag surf sa u know na mga sites then cge install ug pirated software mas maau mag install kag 3rd party antivirus software. based on ur setup, the lag incurred by av softwares should be unnoticeable. ako ni.stop nkog install av software since my days sa win 7, so far wla nmay nka.lusot nga mga viruses sa ako system.

Sophos. Kaspersky. Windows Defender will do if updated lang permi. With ur current specs, I don't think maka notice ka og slowdown.

Yes, as previously mentioned, mu kaon gyud nag resources so maka cause og hinay.

Pero dli ra kaayu noticeable sa multi-core processors plus karun naa sa 4GB na sad cguro ang minimum memory.

Pero sa hinay nga system ma notice nimu especially if it's running a scheduled full system scan in the background.
