Some users keep complaining about resources.
In my systems, MBAM with all modules on consumes 145 MB of memory and hardly any IO activity on my disks.
It is ridiculous in 2019 to talk about such small resource consumption.
A small SSD and 8 Gb of RAM are now dirt cheap, maybe some people should upgrade their systems?

RAM isn't its problem, it makes any machine it's on feel so much damn slower. I also don't think my Samsung M.2 @ 2.8GBps read and Ryzen 5 2600 OC to 4.2GHz need upgrading.

You need to set exclusions in both the softwares if u use mbam alongside an AV otherwise it'll slow down your PC. And if you plan on using mbam with Defender on windows 10 I'd say please don't. :cry:
