[QUOTE="Dex4Sure, post: 930604, member: 79841"] The thing is... Its bad excuse from an AV vendor. Windows Defender works pretty much with whatever you run on the system. AV cannot be limiting what you can and what you can't run on the system. Although Kaspersky does use more CPU than ESET. At least this is what I've encountered on multiple systems. Also it does use more RAM during scans. If you've got slow computer, ESET likely slows down the boot up more since it performs start up scan at system boot while Kaspersky does not. However I think after that tables switch as ESET uses less CPU for scanning. So when you open programs, copy files etc ESET should have lesser impact on system performance. Both have HTTPS scanning enabled by default, but ESET's implementation uses less CPU as well. I'd turn that off for both though. But yes, Kaspersky is among the lightest overall as well. Considering Kaspersky also has behavior blocker that makes it all the more impressive. [/QUOTE]
