Antivirus does have a siginificat impact on performance of the PC, as does any disk intensive work. One of the PCs slowest components is the hard drive, and yet it's so often needed for use by the PC. Antivirus and defragmentation programs use a lot of time with the disk and slow down the system when they're running. Disk defragmentation can bring the system down to a crawl while it's working. In this case it's not about how much space the disk has but how much time your computer spends using it. The faster the disk can fulfill the PCs requests the better overall performance will be.
