Summary
One of the PC performance-enhancing features in your McAfee anti-virus software is App Boost. When enabled, App Boost helps your apps run faster and saves you time by:
- Assigning more dedicated CPU (processor) power to your apps
- Increasing the priority of your app's hard drive Input/Output (I/O)
- App load boosts
App Boost monitors a list of commonly used apps -- Microsoft Office apps, browser apps, and photo or video editing apps are a few examples. When you open one of these apps, App Boost helps it open (or load) faster by giving it additional processing resources.
- Active app boosts
App Boost monitors your open apps. When an app is in your active window (the front window that you are currently focused on), App Boost gives it more processing resources.
We conduct performance tests using third-party standardized tools*. The results of these tests, shown in the table below, show the performance benefits provided by App Boost, and the improvements that can be expected on PCs under heavy load:
