[QUOTE="Cortex, post: 813481, member: 54432"] In my experience which is recently limited on the three PC's at home, I notice not one jot of a difference in moving very large files boot or anything else between AV solutions - I I gave this a try yesterday as was waiting for a delivery - Between Emsisoft, ESET IS & Norton Deluxe, (Dr. Web was on initially). Of course Emsisoft no longer participate in AV-Comparatives (good on them) but as I remember was quite heavy in their testing - As ESET was the last one I tried for fun it's still on :) This PC at least isn't earth shattering but does have 16 GIG RAM which IMHO probably makes all the difference? As to the charts as to which AV catches the most evils the differences are so minute they are within any margin of error in any other testing regime, & anything above 95% is almost perfect, I feel. (I wish I had a 95% chance of being alive in one year) The charts start at 75%, one I looked at the other day started at 80% which is the only way any differences show up, fifteen years ago the differences were large, now I feel use the AV you like the most & suits the PC you use.
