[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1077637, member: 78686"] Yeah, it's a strange one. The whole ESET product is less than 1 GB. Some things don't add up. I need to investigate further. Ignore my comment for now. Yes, Bitdefender writes about 400-500 if one update is missed, 800 if multiple updates are missed. I may have seen even F-Secure writing 400 MB in the past (with Avira engine). So, these values are probably more common than we realize for some products. But most people probably won't care since modern SSDs have very high TBW values. Two best ways to reduce SSD writes IMO are turning off fast startup and moving web browser's cache to an HDD (if you have any) or to a RAM disk. This should save more than what AV products write.
