Battle Is VIPRE Antivirus the lightest antivirus?

[ifacedown]

Hello,

As you know, VIPRE is one of those AV Products that claims to not cause any slowdown on your computer. ESET, Baidu and Webroot are popular to be light AVs.

How would VIPRE measure up with those products, in terms of:

1. boot time/shutdown
2. file copying/moving
3. web browsing
4. scanning
5. everyday computing

Thanks.

These products have different technologies and implementation of protection, I think it is not correct to choose the best. Each has its strengths and weaknesses.

on my PC, comodo use 12mb to 22mb RAM for 4 processes (2system, 2 user) it's little RAM for me

i think it's webroot, but cloud AV needs INTERNET

PC without internet doesn't need AV.

comodo updated from the air?
The question was:
Which is the lightest?
-Webroot is the lightest of all.

happy now lol

PlaceboAV is obviously the lightest

seriously though, lightest is webroot, directly followed by Eset. But i would pick Eset above webroot simply cause it does it's job better.

of course Webroot!

what about those malwares which can be transferred via USB storage devices?

I think Webroot would be the lightest

Webroot is the lightest I've used it myself, I know the way it is.

 

[SamChan]

I used Webroot. It's the lightest for sure.

Even if Vipre is the lightest, It's protection level is way too low and for a rating on protection I'll give it 4/10
