[QUOTE="blackice, post: 812619, member: 79035"] I used Defender for a long time (even with MBAM premium along side :eek:) and recently have been trying out ESET on my gaming machine. I thought it would feel lighter, but honestly I’ve noticed zero difference. Benchmarks for games and app types I normally use weren’t any better. I don’t have big folders of exes, so I can’t speak to that. When the May update hits I plan to go back to just Defender for a bit, at least for the upgrade, especially with recent av incompatibilities with updates. I may stay with it. [/QUOTE]
