[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 882678, member: 83059"] One thing to keep in mind with rapidly trying different AVs is that almost every AV today uses either a hash based or a NTFS metadata based caching mechanism to bypass scanning files that they know are clean. As a result, they usually require one full system scan before your PC starts running at the normal speed. Trying too many AVs without giving them enough time to settle down can give you a negative impression that isn't representative of how it really behaves. [/QUOTE]
