[QUOTE="darko999, post: 1094927, member: 28651"] Thing is, even if you get data about how much disk usage goes for every AV; it will vary from specific system setups and software configurations. Usually and sadly, the best way is to just test yourself a couple AV's that look interesting to you and keep the one that runs smooth on disk usage. The last time I used to play here on MT was like six years ago or more, at that time I had an FX 8350 for CPU and a regular 7200RPM WD HDD, you'll care a lot about disk usage and even CPU usage at that time. Today I tried comodo for the sake of old times and after disabling scheduled scans and using stateful for real time scan plus adding exclusion to legit big folders and apps, it's disk and CPU usage are close to 0. I wouldn't even notice before and after adding comodo, but thing is now my CPU is faster, so is my SSD and all that changed the game for good. Then you have legacy hardware, then of course... It would matter as it did in the past, but don't take me wrong... You can have no AV installed, and some windows process may spike your CPU and DISK usage by absurd amounts. I have seen this even on modern hardware, so you always have that as well. Tune a system to have optimal performance ain't that easy when you consider all factors and variables. [/QUOTE]
