I uninstalled Emsisoft Internet Security from a old laptop (~6 years) due commonly bad performance with updates. When the laptop is off for 2 or more days it takes several minutes to update because it starts automatically at logon, in this time the laptop is almost unusable.
The logs shows times from 7 minutes to 15 to aply the update, with 15mb to 50 mb of data downloaded with some days of difference (2 days to 5 days at max).
My expierence with others AV is so much different for example, Norton only takes this amount of data commonly at first install. ESET is the best on the performance (I have it now on this laptop of reference). Even Kaspersky or Bitdefender is better at this because they start the update some time later for the log on.
Maybe is the laptop but with my own laptop is the same times of update(Emsisoft AM). For me and family is annoying because as a laptop, commonly I use them quickly to copy something from USB or print a document, and it takes much time to use it.
I had tried to run the update once at day, it doesn't works, it starts at logon. Emsisoft have to work on its performance on updates or at least leave to run other programs with priority.
