[QUOTE="rain2reign, post: 930147, member: 88069"] Looks to me that there is either a conflict somewhere or your Emsisoft client itself is bugged. Why? Emsisoft itself does not use that much RAM. Mine at most uses 200 MegaByte, and if you're using it on an older or less demanding system with more limited RAM, you can turn on 'Memory Usage Optimization' under advanced settings. The higher RAM usage (under normal conditions, not 1.7 GB RAM), is not just because there is an Bitdefender engine present alongside their own, but also by default Emsisoft offloads its definitions into the RAM for faster access and performance. 'Memory Usage Optimization' prevents that offload to the RAM from happening. The amount of RAM should normally vary between 150 to 350 MegaByte. Most of your negative points are connected to this issue (a few copied above). Have you tried reinstalling the client and/or turning on Memory Usage Optimization to see if there was a difference in RAM usage? And how much, if there was. (Though I must mention, I never experienced any issues with EAM while gaming.) If you're in need of extensive features and a UI that comes with that, instead of the lovely UI Emsisoft offers (in my opinion), than this product is simply not for you. In that case the competition might be more up your alley like for example Eset, Bitdefender or Kaspersky to name a few… Competitors with more opt-in features. Then again, I can also be one of the few thousands that every company has that never had an issue unless I am looking for it myself, which I do for fun. Since i like breaking stuff. :D [/QUOTE]
