I have to revise it, it scanned 187,309 files for a total of 41,948 files a minute. So it did even better than I stated.
I would test McAfee, but I am really enjoying using Fsecure at the moment due to how light it is. My results will probably still be in the 100mb+ range in ram because I'm guessing the av programs know I have 32gb of physical ram and an i9 9900k, so they can be more taxing without it affecting me. If you want me to test Mcafee, I guess I can. This, Eset, and Avira have impressed me the most with how fast they scan and function with their protection capabilities while not being taxing at all.
McAfee still does not allow you to whitelist folders. Darn.........
If your talking about full system scans, Eset takes much longer than any product I have ever used. It took 25 mins to scan clean installation of Windows without any files stored on my SSD. Kaspersky, McAfee, Bullguard, AVG, Malwarebytes, GData, F-Secure, Heimdal, and Panda are all much faster in full system scans. I think this is due to the complexity of Eset's scan. I have not used Avira in a while so I cannot comment.
I'm not interested in MacAfee so any testing of it won't interest me either, however, others might be. I've got a good two year deal with F-Secure SAFE and unless something drastic happens I'll see out that period with it.
ESET scans do cache things and emulate each file, it indeed take a while but this makes real time protection faster.
I mean to not slow down your system scanning by real-time protection every file again without any modification.
Webroot is considered an av and so is Shadow Defender by many antivirus programs. If a program removes malware, they consider that an antivirus as many antiviruses are just antimalwares with added features.installed and working. it makes you remove other supplementary security programs though. it doesn't like shadow defender or webroot. i had to uninstall them and reinstall after, which seemed to work. it's curious it didn't dislike heimdal thor. it seems fsecure has an interesting banking function (or online purchasing) where it kills all internet connections any other programs have online when you enter the banking site. maybe not the most effective, but i do like novel thinking. but this might cause some problems with heimdal, and other programs. i'll be curious to experiment with this, heheh.
and it seems light. but everything does when you first install it, so i'll have to wait a week and see if it gains a bit of weight
I don't tend to leave banking and similar sites open longer than to do the transaction or whatever I opened them for. So, F-Secure SAFEs banking function doesn't really affect my other online activities, just don't expect your email manement software etc to always work when the banking function is running. A few times it has opened when I don't have a financial site open, it is usually when I',m on a commerce site, but not while I'm actually in the act of paying for something, but its easy to close and is normally just visible at the top of my screen.
