[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 948656, member: 31436"] Sure, that's your experience. But many others have a very different experience. I can give examples of antiviruses that I've found to exceptionally light and some users have found to be quite heavy. On the other hand, there are antiviruses which people often find to be light, which I find to be very heavy on my computer. This is to be expected, due to how much antivirus performance varies from one system to the next. I've even witnessed very noticeable differences in performance on two computers with similar specs running the same antivirus. Even you said the following. Obviously, this applies to MD, just like any other antivirus. If it works well for you, that's great, but it doesn't mean it will work the same for everyone else. But, because you insist that it's a waste of time using other antiviruses, and I have no idea why you do so, you fail to acknowledge the performance issues that a lot of people face. It's quite strange really, since no one here is saying MD is a terrible antivirus, or not to use it. I've made it quite clear that it's fine to use MD or a third party antivirus. This is not the case. CPU and disk usage are two separate issues. I've seen antiviruses cause very noticeable slowdowns due to heavy disk usage, while the CPU use remains very low. As for problems with MD, you only need to read posts about it here, to see that plenty of people have issues with it. [/QUOTE]
