[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 890088, member: 31436"] Even with 8GB of RAM, unless you often have many browser tabs open, or run other memory intensive software, then the amount of RAM used by your AV should not matter. People are obsessed about how much RAM security software uses, when browsers will often use much more. In Windows 7, in some cases, Windows Update would use well over 1.5 gigs of RAM, but people are more concerned about how much RAM an AV uses. If you have 4GB or less, then memory usage by antiviruses may be something to consider. If you have more than that, in my opinion, it's not even worth checking how much RAM is being used. [/QUOTE]
