What should be shocking to some, and don't get me wrong i sound like a ESET fanboy.
But do you know exactly what PCMark is ??
That means, when you are doing work, playing games, sending emails, browsing the web, whatever you may be using your computer for. Testing with PCMark is a great example to just really push the machine and see what it does with these heavy anti viruses that are tightly integrated into the operating system can do, and how much bulkiness they are really applying to the computer.

"What makes PCMark 8 different from other benchmarks? Real-world relevance. "


Some of these other vendors may have been doing well on certain things like transferring files, or what ever methodologies they are using for testing.
But we all know, when it comes down to it, real life testing and slapping the AV on your computer to see how its going to run is what its all about.
PCmark is a really good example of a virtualization test of when people will be doing normal activities, like gaming or using photoshop etc.

Since joining MT, I've heard lovely testimonies for ESET NOD 32, WEB ROOT, Avast, Qihoo, and Threatfire too (among even more..):D yet use the Windows native AVs, Microsoft Essenials (for Windows 7) & Windows Defender (for Windows 8.1) solely,;) that and browsing always in a sandbox/or with Shadow Defender's Shadow mode set:cool: have kept these systems air tight ..except for my hyperbaric chamber sleeping XP.:P:)

Very very good point Cats!
I love throwing a wrench in the engine though. :eek:
What about users who send hundreds of e-mails using ms outlook or something. :p
I think Microsoft's security could fall short, and only the common sense and sandbox could save them. :D

I got surprised lots of friends mention ESET as a light AV .... I know it s one of the bests regarding performance and impact on system's function.
But this topic is about "Resourse Usage" and ESET is not good(usually uses more than 70mb of RAM) AFAIK.

I think Webroot and Avast are the best in this area.
