This test shows how an antivirus behaves with certain threats, in a specific environment and under certain conditions.
We encourage you to compare these results with others and take informed decisions on what security products to use.
Before buying an antivirus you should consider factors such as price, ease of use, compatibility, and support. Installing a free trial version allows an antivirus to be tested in everyday use before purchase.
the results are actually correct there are some things I think that we should consider:I have also been using F-Secure for some time and have not noticed any slowdown of my PCs. The results from AV-Comparatives are a mystery to me.
That is because sometimes the "slowdowns" are in milliseconds (ms). Not even noticeable to the hooman.I have also been using F-Secure for some time and have not noticed any slowdown of my PCs. The results from AV-Comparatives are a mystery to me.
I agree with you and @bazang. Real world use on my end with F-Secure I haven't noticed this either (4 PC's). Including PC's with 8GB of RAM and one Windows 10 PC with a 4th generation Intel Core i3 cpu.I have also been using F-Secure for some time and have not noticed any slowdown of my PCs. The results from AV-Comparatives are a mystery to me.

Is Norton on avast engine as they seem to have much better performance then they used to
In addition to what's already been said about this, antivirus performance can sometimes vary greatly from one computer to the next. I've seen cases where two computers with similar specs were running the same antivirus and is was causing noticeable slowdowns on one of the computers, but not on the other one. There have been plenty of times I agree with the results of performance tests and other times when I've had a very different experience to the published results of performance testing. I always try an antivirus for myself, to see how it performs on my PC, rather than taking too much notice of performance tests.I have also been using F-Secure for some time and have not noticed any slowdown of my PCs.

I'm using the new Avast based Norton and it's been very light so far.what do you use now Roger? My fastest are K7 and McaFee.
I use Total Uninstaller to monitor the installation, so it can delete all the leftovers after uninstalling an antivirus.The problem is that uninstallation isn't always smooth, even with the uninstall tool provided. That means you have to backup, install, test several times, restore, and repeat.
yea that's a good one. I use the image restore procedureI use Total Uninstaller to monitor the installation, so it can delete all the leftovers after uninstalling an antivirus.
historically I've used Revo (paid) but just looking at Total Uninstaller I see there's a Professional version and Essential version. Which do you use, & do you know difference between these two? just now seeing Comparison chart at bottom of the page, and there is also an Ultimate version... Is this the best uninstaller in your opinion?I use Total Uninstaller to monitor the installation, so it can delete all the leftovers after uninstalling an antivirus.
I use the Pro version and based on my testing it is the best. It's not cheap though.historically I've used Revo (paid) but just looking at Total Uninstaller I see there's a Professional version and Essential version.
