I'm looking to upgrade on my antivirus for my PC. I've had Kaspersky for about 4 years but I'm ready to move on.

I'm looking for solid protection, not a resource hog at a decent cost. Any strong recommendations?

Thank you!

I used to have Bitdefender but went back to W10 Security. I don't do silly stuff with my computer so (with fingers crossed) it's worked a treat so far. What I particularly like about it is how nonintrusive it is.

I used to do that with a Linux disc on a windows machine.

But I tend to limit my activities.

Same here! Been using Kapersky on my 5 computers and Laptops (pay for 5 licenses) since it launched somewhere around 1997 or 1998. Never ever had an issue using it.
