[QUOTE="cardinal, post: 1066070, member: 105599"] Thanks for all the replies! I just want to give you guys a short feedback. Most of you recommended that i stay with Emsisoft but i did test G-Data Internet Security for some time (since there is a huge discount atm) ;P G-Data is way cheaper than Emsisoft, so i favor G-Data in this regard. The protection seems great BUT it hogs system ressources like nothing i have ever seen before. I do have a a pretty good gaming PC (32GB RAM), G-Data takes easily >1,2GB of RAM and for this client its no problem at all. I didnt notice any system slow downs, but what about a "normal" 8GB RAM laptop? That seems pretty excessive, does it not? For comparison i tested a fresh install of Emsisoft Business Security and it hovers around 500-700MB. Yes, AVs should use a certain amount of RAM but in G-Datas case it seems like bad programming (just my asumption). From what i have been reading it is intentional and it wont be changed. Overall it seems that Emsisoft is produced with way more "love" and is more frequently updated than G-Data (correct me if i am wrong here, i could not find some kind of changelog or anything). One thing that wonders me is the Web protection of Emsisoft. Does it work? ;P I dont have any logs for this part of the software, the browser plugin blocks malicious sites but it doesnt communicate with the software at all. [/QUOTE]
