[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1122272, member: 78686"] Yes, that's one way to reduce the disk writes. Bitdefender check for updates every hour but don't have update available every hour. So usually there are 3-4 hours or even more gap anyway. ESET release signatures every 4 hours on average and they also have streaming/pico updates which downloads a 1/2KB file every 10 mins. Avast has the best updating mechanism of all products with their constant streaming update every minute/two. So, the system is always up to date. BTW, regarding BD vs ESET disk writes. I checked again and ESET's disk writes is not far behind Bitdefender's. It at least writes 380-420 MB on each update. Even more than that as their startup scan after every update also cause some disk writes but this one is dependent on what files your system has and what it scans. But ESET's updating process is 10 times faster than BD. [/QUOTE]
