Advice Request Emsisoft use a lot of memory?

[chetuyet.hp]

I have been using Eset for about 5 years. Now my copyright has expired. I switched to Emsisoft testing.
During my trial, I found the memory usage of Emsisoft to be higher than that of Eset. However, I have not found Emsisoft to affect the performance of my computer.

According to Emsisoft:
Why antivirus uses so much RAM – And why that is actually a good thing!

Lots of computer blogs and magazines give smart advice on how to speed up your computer by reducing the load on your hardware resources. While it is true that having a few gigabytes of free hard disk space is better than no space, the same wisdom usually isn’t true for your RAM (Random Access Memory), your computer’s super-fast short term memory.

Why antivirus uses so much RAM - And why that is actually a good thing!

Learn why freeing RAM doesn't necessarily speed up your computer. In reality it's often quite the opposite.

Answered your own question. RAM usage is not indicative of anything.

I hope so too. Because I've only been using it for about 10 days.

how much ram does your sysatem have?

 

[chetuyet.hp]

I have 8Gb.

I have 8Gb.

in this era 8 gb is low amount, can be not enough ram if you have lots of applications open, running virtual machines can use all ram
eset uses a technique to hide the actual ram usage, so do not base your decisions on what you see in task manager
based upon your testing it appears that emsisoft is not negatively affecting system performance

You can compare it with Bitdefender , high Memory usage but it feels light on the system

I haven't used Bitderfender for a long time. About 5, 6 years ago I tried using it but it was really heavy and bad. After a long time, I don't know if they have improved anything?

In my opinion, Emsisoft does not affect the performance of the win.
When I was used eset, when I went to some malicious websites. Eset will block me from accessing.
I've been trying Emsisoft for about 10 days now, I haven't seen Emsisoft block me from accessing those sites. I don't know if Emsisoft has that feature or because I'm using the version Home. I also do not install the EMS extension on the browser,
Eset block Web

you can submit the blocked websites to eset for whitelisting or you can whitelist the websites within eset itself

You need the browser extension installed in your browser for the full web protection of Emsisoft :

In early January we launched Emsisoft Browser Security, our privacy conscious Chrome and Firefox browser extension that blocks access to malicious websites that distribute malware, phishing attacks, and more. Complementing Emsisoft’s proven Web Protection feature that works on the DNS level, Emsisoft Browser Security runs in your browser’s security context and therefore can check all parts of a website’s URL/address for additional security. In our latest release, we’re happy to announce the addition of the Microsoft Edge browser version of the browser extension!

New in 2019.1: Improved web browsing protection

In this month's release, we added Emsisoft Browser Security for Microsoft Edge, a label in Emsisoft Anti-Malware that shows the installation status of the extension, and consolidated the Surf Protection host categories.

a lot of memory?

Spoiler: image

Ram is there to be used and 400-600 MB ram usage is nothing. if you have about 8GB ram or more, you should feel nothing.

 

[Anthony Qian]

While I do agree that high RAM usage does not equal high impact on performance, you should choose ESET if you are looking for an AV that has the lightest footprint on your system, according to my experience and AV-C testing.

8GB is enough for light use but not for heavy use. When you open a game, it can take almost all memory. I have 8GB with ~11-13% mem usage on boot but when I used emsisoft, it took upto 23%. When I opened my game and played for 20 mins, it crashed due to memory running out! Memory optimization didn't help
It never happened with avast, kaspersky or wisevector because they use much low ram
IMO, using too much memory and stating that it's a good thing is BS. It doesn't suit all PCs

Why wait so long before protection is activated?

I don't understand the question, what do you mean specifically?

 

[I3rYcE]

I don't understand the question, what do you mean specifically?

When the operating system loads the Emsisoft icon is red. I have to wait a long time before it turns green.

This is the case for Bitdefender and the products that use its engine. While some might say this js normal, it is very annoying tbh.
