Their test are more pointless each time they release one. How old are the malware that all the products got above 95%. Don't see a benefit from this kind of test. The extra 5% will save me? lol
EDIT: Linked graph was wrong so i replied for another test. How cool of me. LOL
The correct test is still bad though showing all products having a similar performance.The way they measure load for all this parameters makes the test worse because a lot of those are irrelevant.

You linked to real world protection test but the title is performance. By your comment i assume the linked graph is the wrong one?I can't fathom Bitdefender being lighter than Kaspersky,at least on my machine!!
Use this one

That was just a performance test, there was no detection involved

When i checked the topic the graph linked to the real world performance test and neither the pdf link was there. I still have some brain power. LOLThat was just a performance test, there was no detection involved

I always found Avast and Qihoo being the lightest av out there. Avira is light too but not as much as the first two. At least on my systems.

Take the results with a pinch of salt... In my computer, Avira is heavier than ESET and Emsisoft

You should always test an anti-virus in your system to see how it behaves. In my notebook Bitdefender slows down boot and file operation in a very noticeable way while I don't even notice Kaspersky is installed unless it blocks something. It doesn't mean in your computer they would work like this...

You know these tests are rigged when you see Bitdefender being as light as Avast lol.

Or McAffee... These tests are funny, nothing more. They are just for AV vendors that can add another good-looking award icon on the website.
And I know it's correct(a little) when it shows Microsoft as heavy.

I was going to say pretty pointless test...but if it keeps AV's lean and efficient...

Components/ features may affect the performance of an AV but that would not reflect in such dramatic result.
Avira, ESET, Norton, and few others are definitely light on majority of systems.
Actually I find Windows Defender light and issue free for any programs installed on the system.
