hahaha ! ah Stranger give me the resource usage (CPU & RAM when you browse with Pure)

He has the Screenshot with Idle and during scan on page 11, post 108 for some reference. However he is on 32bit architecture.

When I tried Pure, CPU and RAM spikes were apparent when even browsing on chrome.

RE: Stranger Desktop Security Setup

Scans though can't be a bad thing, you could go off and do other things while it scans, or do you sit and watch them? :p

Hmm, I see. Don't know how Bitdefender and Kaspersky are like with their scans, but as for Norton, that is what I would do.

Guessing also that you are using a trial?
