You complain about bloat, yet Malwarebytes is bloated to shit now.
Here's one of their employees literally talking about all the reasons why they bloated it:

https://www.security.org/antivirus/kaspersky-vs-malwarebytes/https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/https://av-comparatives.org/consumer/test-results/Kaspersky lets you turn off a bunch of features, and even better, you can also turn off the NAGGING about the features you disabled, unlike something like Bitdefender where you can't disable the alerts/nags from features you disabled. Literally uses fuck all memory on my system, Defender is more resource intensive than this is.
Use what you want by the way, Malwarebytes, ESET, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, F-Secure, Sophos, Vipre. Just please do the research yourself and don't blindly believe shit you've heard.
