Do Security Solutions Slow Down Your PC? (Part 9 – F-Secure Internet Security 2011)

It's F-Secure's time:

F-Secure performance test by TuneUp


Spoiler alert

Performance Results: F-Secure Internet Security 2011

F-Secure Internet Security 2011 proved to be a comparatively lightweight solution that had a minimal impact on performance. While boot speed suffered a bit and hard disk I/O went up noticeably, we barely noticed that the security solution was running. Bravo!

Eh, they all pretty much do. That's why I don't use them.

well made security solutions rarely slow down the system, except some of them that use many engines. generally it is all the junk apps in the system that do it, focusing the RT modules of security solutions.

many engines, such as; coranti (3 engines), gdata (2 engines), trustport (2 engines)
it make more processes and with realtime protection use that machine's. open documents,etc.
their not always effective for protection. but, i thought ,gdata not slow for system. with better protection than other with many engines also.
for on-demand scanners like hitman pro, its effective for us.
