Short answer yes, actuall answer depends. Anything that causes the hard drive and prossesor to be active will eat up your power supply, by how much, probably not much, it all depends on the power consumption of your hard drive, prossesor and RAM, all of which are used by the antivirus to do its job, also it depends on what sort of protection the antivirus is providing, if its providing full protection your hard drive and prossesor will always be going if your doing something, where as if its one which you have to activate they wont be. Still it shouldn't take up that much of your battery life unless you system's components just aren't very power efficant.

not true. the anti-virus does not operate or require an additional device to function. only what is already on the laptop.
I doubt you will notice the difference in battery life unless you have Norton or McAfee, then it would shorten the life a LOT.



Without antivirus, you won't have to worry long, you will get infected and it will quit working anyway.
Yes but that depends on the antivirus app. In order to be effective the antivirus must be running at all times when your laptop is on. Some antivirus app will use less resources than others, hence your laptop battery may last a little longer. That's just the price you pay to protect your pc. If you want you can disable some of the programs running in the background to conserve power. Some of the programs that you can safety shut down like Adobe fast start, Logitech mouse %26 keyboard,soundcard apps....or something like that.
