@Al-Faqir Glad to hear that it has worked out for you! Once it caches everything, its light as a feather IMO!

Is time to do a new test through VM again, to seek it's kidneess.
are excellent news from you.Your persistence paid off. What SHP has to do is cache everything as I noted. Once it's cached then it's smooth as silk and SPEEDY. Also, it appears it was needing to serve some updates to you in the background. Those updated modules are the ones everyone is on that claims SHP is lightweight.
I assure you, once fully cached, and fully updated, after that reboot most people will be impressed at how lightweight it becomes!

Would it be worth testing it for a week? Sophos home premium 'FREE'...seems free doesnt have advanced real time protection at all

Free version has signatures, web protection, PUP protection and some behaviour blocking in the form of file reputation and fully automatic hips that blocks processes with suspicious behaviour.
The more advanced stuff is in the premium version.

Doesnt sound too bad to be free product, i had it installed two days max... removed due high ram usage, even it doesnt matter at all. Sly said it will settle down, just needs bit of time, but i rushed and uninstalled.
Maybe i give it a week, to see does the constant memory scanning stops and it settles down completely

If I have to choose between two free products that consume a lot of ram, and without options I will choose Bitdefender free. Better virus signatures and very good BB for free product. Is my personal opinion.

I would just go kfa over bd, What makes sophos different is dashboard, web filtering is nice addition and rest stated above @kev216 Never tried bitdefender on win10 yet, so thanks for suggestion its nice software aswell

KFA is one perfect free product. Not use many ram and have system watcher. My comment was about products that consume a lot of ram and without options.
Indeed it is very light! Navigating through folders is much fast. KIS caused unnoticeable delay. I like SHP very much.

Does testing a product in VM represent its performance in real world?
I was hesitated at first, but believe me SHP is worth it.
The free version of Sophos should be more efficient than WD. I am so glad that I had received a free 1-year subscription for trying the beta.
The ram thing made me go mad and the system was very heavy and unresponsive. After days, you will not notice Sophos is running.
If I am going to install BD some day, which I would never do, Bitdefender has to pay me for that. One of the worst, if not the worst, products I have ever tried. Just remembering how buggy it was makes me sick. It might have become better but I can't forgive the pain it caused LOL.
Personally, If I am going to install a free antivirus, I would only go for Sophos. KFA seems good for the members here are praising it. The paid version of Kaspersky is by no doubt much better than the free one.
I don't mind if the product consumes much ram but it should not cause any system slowdowns. KIS is very light and so is Sophos (after some painful days).

Yes i respect your opinion. But for me is important the results. And SHP after 2, 3 tests from Evjls Rain is not good. The free version is very weak for me. The rest is what you like or what i like
50% discount of regular 50$/40€ price for the SHP 1year/10devices is still valid.

Tossing a pack of malware at SHP on a local machine neglects some of the most important protections it offers. Under real-world conditions, SHP should provide unprecedented protection. Largely because of it's robust exploit protection, strong web filtration database and ridiculously good heuristic web evaluation technology. Even so, one of my favorite combos is SHP+VS/OSA+Heimdal. Very speedy, lightweight, and I'd put that combo up against any malware execution test on the planet.

Yeah! because the minimum impact freezes the entire virtual machine. in previous tests I tested FSECURE and ESET without problems, it is the enough evidence working with low specs computers. 2gb ram and dual core shared on slave disk.
Wow... Insane deal. I might have to take them up on that one.
