You just install it on top of it anyway even if you don't download the newest version you should still get automatica signatures for a few years till that sep version is EOL
So there is no huge issue skipping client updates if everything works well

dude thank you for answering my questions on this so i learned the site you shared really does keep the version updated. endpoint browser extension is now installed automatically at an admin level which is nice. Web protection was not working for me before but this new version on this site really makes it complete and its very stable. Symantec Endpoint Protection Client (14.3 RU9) <----- Here is the link to the latest version.

I'm using RU9 for a while so yeah maybe it was actually a bug with an older version you had btw is there any bugs or features you need that didn't work in the latest client RU9 ?


Btw if anyone has a lower end machine without 8gb+ ram then I would recommend the embedded client as it has reduced signatures (more signatures loaded from cloud rather then ram )

Obviously only for low end machines as it has certain costs both to security and performance using the embedded client

Is sep considered lightweight?

Is sep considered lightweight?

If you install the av components then it's heavier then some avs including eset , Kaspersky
But if you use only ips , firewall without the av components then it should be very light as other firewalls
Personally I'm using only the ips , firewall modules on my PCs currently with a different av like eset , defender




You could actually see for yourself and worst case change to a different av and keep only the firewall , ips

Really liking this so far so good. Feels light enough on my low end laptop even the retro UI appeals to me, a bit fed up dark themed everything.

what if I use just IPS and the behavior detection along with defender

If you install sonar (behavioral component ) you will have the av installed too so you will he the performance issues of two av software
If you're using defender I recommend only the firewall and ips nothing else


As the behavioral module is the heavy part

What specs the machine has ?

Btw Symantec is pretty much what Norton used to be so it's supposed to be as light or heavy as Norton was before Avast engine

not bad, i have 32gb of ddr5 5600mhz so it should be non affecting performance

The CPU will have much more affect on performance than the RAM.

The behavior components uses a lot of Io , CPU usage

 

[Xciting]

alright. i uninstalled it
cpu usage was insane when i looked with process explorer

Try the firewall and ips only you will have low CPU usage with that setup

Acer i5 with 8GB RAM, but I trialed SEP on my test pc sempron processor with 4GB RAM and it even felt fine on that.

Thanks for the detailed information actually have a win 7 starter notepad I might try it out on when I get any play time.

Il try the embedded client and see how well it is
