[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 793430, member: 53544"] I'm sharing my [B]light configuration[/B] for Kaspersky Internet Security 2019. Light enough to consume as little resources as possible without compromising security, focusing on blocking rather than disinfecting. [SPOILER="FAQ"] [B]1. Why Kaspersky?[/B] Kaspersky is definitely a market leader, with huge experience on the cybersecurity area and innovation, winning multiple awards and prizes for the great protection it can offer. [B]2. So, what's the problem with it?[/B] Many people often moan about Kaspersky's resource consuming. This of course is entirely connected to user's hardware, OS and arquitecture. Every system behave different, so you may or may not feel a system impact. Truth is, many times it can be felt. [B]3. What's the objective of this setting thread?[/B] We want to create a perfect setting guide, to reduce Kaspersky's impact but as well make it useful enough to not need to add anything on top of it. Afterall, it's a suite and we will use it as such. From Application Control to Software Updater. [B]4.[/B] [B]Why are you the best robot alive, RoboGod?[/B] Well thanks for the God thing, human. I've always thought I had some similarity with God.
