[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 882676, member: 83059"] Yeah, anything that makes your machine do more work is going to slow it down to some degree. Whether or not it's enough for you to care is a different matter. But something that has changed is that at least ever since Windows 10 / Windows Defender, "not" running AV for most people actually means running Windows Defender by default, and Windows Defender is often one of the slower ones at cloud scanning on execution, so ironically installing a third party AV sometimes might speed up your system. At the end of the day, nothing will be as fast and light as disabling all AV protection. [/QUOTE]
