I don't really care about resident shields, email scanners, firewalls and other useless stuff.
I know that the websites im going on are virus-free.
Im only downloading files from the reliables sources.
im not sure if I even need an antivirus, but just to be sure i want to install some kind of antivirus.
I got an idea that I should download antivirus from 1-2 years ago because back then antivirus used much less memory. As long as that antivirus software has updated virus-definitions it should be fine, right?
so what is the fastest antivirus

google pack is quick and easy. I wouldn't download the 12 year old antivirus as it won't protect you from anything. Google pack is also free, http://safe-google.com/pack

AVG is very lightweight. It doesn't take up too much resources. The virus signature database is comparatively small. avast! has better detection rates, but has a larger memory footprint. If you trust the websites you download from, AVG is good enough.
AVG: http://free.grisoft.com
or
(slower) avast! : http://www.avast.com
Good luck!
