[QUOTE="Vasudev, post: 812559, member: 30411"] Why would it use GPU when it consumes more resources than using CPU? Do you mean OpenCL based scanning? If you see gpu load usage its because of WD UI constantly updating scanned files list. Even I thought scan engine switched to GPU but it isn't the case. WD causes slowdown since it scans everything, that's why on older PC I recommend Kaspersky Free AV or KSC free because it ran like butter on circa 2007 hardware. On modern PCs KSC free is almost invisible. [/QUOTE]
