[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 844987, member: 32260"] The results of this test, highly depend on the weights of tested categories: file copying, archiving/unarchiving, installing/uninstalling applications, launching applications, downloading files. Furthermore, the testing procedure does not include two important factors : gaming and starting/shutting down the system. The results of this test will be welcome for many MalwareTips members who frequently: [LIST=1] [*]install/uninstall applications, [*]create archives or backups, [*]copy many files. [/LIST] But, for the average users, these activities are uncommon and unimportant as compared to launching applications, web browsing, downloading files or starting/shutting down the system. By looking at the results of Trend Micro it is evident that the average user will feel it as a slow AV and Windows Defender as much faster (comparable to Avast, AVG, and Eset). Why? Trend Micro has the worst performance for launching applications, which is the most common user activity and Microsoft has the stellar performance in common activities like launching applications, web browsing, downloading files or starting/shutting down the system. This test strongly suggests that independently of the chosen methodology, there are some generally fast AVs like: Kaspersky, Avira, and McAfee. I use WD for a few years and in my opinion, it has an average performance (fast in common activities and below average when managing the system). (y) [/QUOTE]
