[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 968646, member: 19756"] It's middling because it's in the middle, and it doesn't do well when it comes to system impact. I also tried the same by installing various AVs and running benchmarks plus through feel, i.e., browsing folders with different content and loading apps, and only because I notice that's what slow for one user is fast for another, and dependent on the type of hardware, usage, etc. I have to take their word for it in the same way I have to take anyone's word on this forum for such. In which case, I'll focus on these sites with details on methodologies and results, as well as those that present tests on video given various testing methods. I welcome comparisons between free and paid products because I'm not very keen on spending more on AVs, especially given the point that I want to buy other things. In one case, I calculated for paying for AVs for at least nine computers (yes, I've a nice, big family), and even with volume purchase and discounts for the first year only (!), I felt like it was buying a new hard drive every year. In which case, I really do want Windows Security to work, but what happens if it doesn't detect some new ransomware, and all machines at home are infected. I'll be sent to the doghouse for that!
