Is it true that WD really is lighter and faster than most other AVs?

[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 889318, member: 82776"] My experience on low-specs PC's is that WD on Windows10 had the lowest program start delay of all free antivirus I tried:. On a clean PC with no other software yet installed I tested browser startup delay with most free AV's, like Avast, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, Comodo, F-secure rebranded from my ISP, Fortinet, Kaspersky, Panda, Sophos. On my PC Avast, Bitdefender and Comodo perfrom better than they do in the performance test AV-Comparatives, so when it comes to performance impact, you need to try them yourself (you download a program called AppTimer to see what the cold and warm progam start delay is). With Configure Defender it is very easy to tweak and strenghten the default settings of Windows Defender. [/QUOTE]
