[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 903462, member: 61892"] In the old days I just wanted the best AV, so I changed it every time new AV comparative reviews were released. Afterwards as a gamer I was more concerned about performance, so I picked based on that and eventually let go. One would think, that with new CPUs and SSD, AV makes no difference, but it does. I tried Panda and it even slowed down loading webpages. As for Windows Defender, when I temporarily enable it, I can see a noticeable slow down, like explorer takes 2-3 secs to open and icons are loading one by one. But in the end, I just do not like running something, I do not need. I do not like wasting any resources, regardless how abundant they are. Not to mention, that every single process is another vulnerable software, that can be exploited. Security software being the top target and it runs with SYSTEM privileges. [/QUOTE]
