[QUOTE="blackice, post: 896098, member: 79035"] I guess you didn't sepcifically state how you defined slowly loading, so I may be guilty of making assumptions. The 2 seconds (in my experience) of scanning and icons loading isn't an issue for me as I don't open folders like this often. Maybe if you regularly do this it is more annoying? Also, a lot of AVs scan on execution rather than on access. Some give the option for one or the other. WD loves to scan when you open folders, and that's fine with me since it doesn't cause me issues. So, maybe I am seeing the same behavior, but this is definitely not a deal breaker for everyone. Also, it doesn't make WD patently slow, it makes it slow at scanning on access. Which, in that case, I agree it is slower than many other AVs on accessing exes and scripts, and can be problematic for people who are inconvenienced by this. My only points were a) 'slow' is defined many ways, b) horsepower aside there are many working parts on many PCs and performance varies regardless of raw horsepower, and c) 'light' is another loosely defined term that is thrown around that means different things to different people. I totally understand why you don't care for Defender, and I'm glad you found a solution that works better for you. Other people may find Defender adequate, and I'm glad they can keep their systems clean of the extra issues that can come from third parties. [/QUOTE]
