Iam a heavy gamer i play for five to seven hours in the will of completing the game will Avast affect any of my gaming needs.I installed bitdefender but it troubles me even while uninstalling.

Try Bitdefender free or Adware 11.0 or antivirus 360.
All are good.
All are good.
It is only a guide and reviews not the best one

asking which is the best AV is like asking who is the best bollywood actor,depends on who are you asking.there is no such thing as best AV.try various good ones(like those suggested above & avira free) & keep one which works best for you.
my personal choice is Avast since it has never failed or bugged me while playing games. for paid ones, you can check bitdefender or kaspersky.
Avast 
Thanks @ SaiyanGoku , Superayush
Avast would be recommended.
i think you are capable enough to decide for yourself even after reading so many reviews in that thread.
people have recommended Avast! there too, and here also.
@OP, Avast! (Free) is one of the great and superior tool as an anti-virus software.
It is a very good product (RECOMMENDED) for Windows.
I used it for a long time,until recently I switched off to Bitdefender Internet Suite 2014(FREE as GIVEAWAY),courtesy and Thanks to [MENTION=88006]sam[/MENTION] for the GIVEWAY

Some of the best virus protection software for your system that you can use are Bitdefender, Immunet, Kaspersky, Quickheal , Avg etc.
W
"best protection" & "quickheal" in same sentence is just wrong.
thats what..
just Wow!
just Wow!
I switched to Avast from Kaspersky as it was hogging too much, and its free.

could you please explain... as i am planning to go long term (3years) with QHTS

if you are spending money on an AV you should expect it to at least participate/perform good in some known major reputed testing organization like av-comparatives tests(or VBA100) but you won't find quickheal(or any so called indian antivirus) in tests on these sites(or performing good if they are present).reason being they would perform poorly.norton used to take part in av-comparatives test but later withdraw because of their test methodology but unlike quickheal as long as norton participated it had one of the best scores.

The Final is Kaspersky or Avast (Mostly Avast)
Which is faster in scanning

The fact that I had purchased Quick Heal Internet Suite 2014 ,installed onto my Genuine Licensed Windows 7(64-bit) Pro. OS.
There used to be some issues,and after honouring the advice of @TDF Friends,particularly @whitestar_999,I switched to Avast!(64-bit). It was REALLY RUNNING SUPER without any issues whatsoever.The virus engine of avast! is extraordinarily powerful in detections...not a single problem faced to date.
I also used Comodo Internet suite(64-bit) FREE as the Firewall(Disabling the anti-virus),besides avast! FREE and also Spicebot-Search & Destroy(64-bit) FREE.
Though I had to uninstall the above three security tools in-lieu of having Bitdefender Internet Security 2014(ALL-IN-ONE) as a GIVEAWAY.
My Personal experience is Quick Heal is never comparable with avast! FREE also.
Quick Heal is much less powerful when compared to avast!,AVIRA,Kaspersky,Bitdefender,AVG,G-Data,etc.(PAID VERSIONS) anti-virus software tool.
W
Immunet uses clamAV(open source) & provides decent protection but it depends on net connection for optimum protection & certainly not a good choice for an average user when there are better & free alternatives.
why not buy Kaspersky/bitdefender instead which have proven to be one the best paid AV's? or why not go with Avast free version (which is still better than any indian antivirus paid or free)?

Go with Malwarebytes + MSE!

the op, [MENTION=278666]Arjun609[/MENTION]
Banned or not he can still see this topic. So here is my suggestion, Norton Internet Security. Have been using them from 2007, and never changed to anything else. Stable, does more than enough job for me. However false positives might become PITA sometimes.
I tried Avast as per lots of recommendations here and elsewhere, and it was the worst AV I ever used, along with Quick Heal.

I prefer AVG over avast basically because avast seems to be a bit too aggressive and intrusive. Like if I connect a flash drive it won't let me use it until it's fully scanned. AVG on the other hand won't take an action unless necessary. It also let's you choose what to do about minor threats which sometimes is helpful.
I beg to differ Friend with you on this aspect...
The AV engine of avast! is much superior than Quick Heal and many other AV tools. Regarding false positives it is as similar to that of AVG,whereas the other functioning and Resident Shield is much ease to use at.
Norton on the other hand consumes as much resources as a game and def updates as large as steam updates.

[MENTION=52329]tkin[/MENTION],since when did norton became heavy?everywhere i see people complaining about kaspersky & bitdefender but norton & eset usually come out as light but then every AV has these issues.i have seen people complaining about kaspersky bringing their core i7 16gb ram system to crawl whereas i have used it fine on an intel atom 2gb ram system.i have even seen people complaining about WSA which is a 700kb setup file(& it is not web installer).maybe you got unlucky concerning norton.
[MENTION=52329]tkin[/MENTION] : Norton has changed bro. I mean it was really heavy and resource hungry back in 07/08, but since then they are improving and now it's completely changed. I ran it on my crappy i3 laptop with 2 GB RAM, ran fine, so on my desktop I don't even feel it's running.
And no, the live updates are small bro, I have never seen any update getting installed which is more then 20 MB!
It's a fantastic app to be honest, just those false positives, especially for disgraceful people like me who never purchases original games, you know what I'm talking about

anyway, this thread is just acting as an extension of the Original Best AV thread.
in my case it didn't happened at all. i could do whatever i want with the flash drive and avast won't bug me unless it caught an infection.
