In my experience, AVG used to bloated a few versions back. The current one is just fine.

I just pulled 2014 off a PC and replaced it with Bitdefender (it is an older PC running Vista) as I found the AVG "suite" to be too resource intensive. BD was noticeably faster/lighter

On modern hardware there probably isn't that much of a difference though.

Oh, I see. I was referring to the stripped down AVG Free.

What's the memory footprint on that? NOD32 is just under 5MB

For just the application proper, it's under 6MB. But if you count all the other associated processes it's around 100MB.

Just ordered this deal.

For others interested, you have to go to the checkout and enter the promo code, and choose free shipping, then the cost will update to $14.99 to your door. Didn't have sales tax in my case, so this is an awesome deal for Malwarebytes Pro with a lifetime license.

So does the Pro version of Malwarebytes also contain their "Anti-Exploit" and "Anti-Rootkit" functions? In other words, if I use Malwarebytes Pro, do I need any other supplemental Anti-Virus/Malware software?

Has Anti-Rootkit built in with a choice to turn it on or off.

Glade to see your giving BD a test drive I really like it, it's been out standing for me the extra bloat I don't care about(with IS) and don't use most of it but some I do. The out standing protection rate is worth the little bit of annoyances.
