[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 813488, member: 31436"] Having 16GB of RAM shouldn't have much of an impact on performance. Unless you have a lot of browser tabs open or are running memory intensive software, you would probably not see much difference between 8GB and 16GB of RAM. I've used just about every antivirus there is and there are very few that never slow down my computer. Most of them cause noticeable slowdowns at times and some make my computer run much slower all the time. I'm sure the CPU is a big factor. My main computer only has a 2nd gen i5. It is more than fast enough for what I use my computer for, but, not doubt a faster CPU would help with AV performance. Twenty years ago, I didn't notice much difference in performance between different antiviruses, but today I do. [/QUOTE]
