[QUOTE="ncage, post: 820310, member: 62363"] I do agree it has quite a few processes but i actually like it. It's almost to *nix philosophy on do one thing & do it well. Each process from my use has been extremely light. Coming from Bitdefender where is also quite a few processes (but not probably note quite as many) but the thing about bitdefender if your lucky the security service is consuming less than 200MB but usually its between 200-400MB. I've even seen it go above 400MB before. I can load an entire OS (Linux + a DE (Xfce or Mate)) and consume about what bitdefender is consuming which is absolutely crazy. Though i think bitdefender is one of the better AVs. Pretty sure it doesn't. I looked for a cert after installing it and couldn't find one. Its probably like emsisoft that just uses DNS to block which i actually prefer. I don't like to MITM. Too many companies have screwed up their certs in the past. On top of that uninstall any AV product and see they they always leave crap around (like their certs). Which could be dangerous. At least i haven't found one that has cleaned up after itself yet (not saying there isn't one). Really interested in this topic because i'm thinking on switching to it. So far i really like it but i just want to see how the 0 day protection (interceptor x) pans out. While they say interceptor x is implemented in the product the fine grained controls are not there. Right now i'm using both bitdefender & emsisoft. While i'm love emsisoft i'm not willing to pay what it would cost me for the licensing fees. If i had just a few computers it wouldn't be a big deal i have money (especially when you consider VMs) and and i'm just not going to spend 100s of dollars every year. Bitdefender is great (especially with their family plan) but its soooo heavy. Most of my VMs i use dynamic memory on and a lot of memory the vm is using is coming from bitdefender so i need something lighter. The only other thing is i think some of the free AV are good but as you know when your not paying for the product then you are the product and i'm not ok with that. To bad emsisoft doesn't offer a family play like bitdender. [/QUOTE]
