[QUOTE="Wraith, post: 804503, member: 74314"] There is actually no benefit from scanning files while opening a folder unless you execute the files. I don't know how you tested ESET but in my case ESET IS deletes the infected executables as soon as I open any folder. The main point of an antivirus is to prevent the execution of malwares. So if an antivirus detects while executing a file its doing its job perfectly...there is no need to complain. Defender certainly slows down if you open a folder with a lot of executables. In comparison Kaspersky and Bitdefender are much lighter. But if you compare ESET with any of those, in terms of lightness ESET blows them away. [/QUOTE]
