[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 841828, member: 83059"] WD for all of its strengths is actually kind of slow when you trigger its high caution scans. The cloud lookup of an executable after downloading it sometimes takes 1-2 seconds while an offline engine like Emsisoft can do it in milliseconds. the downside is that BD based engines can use more RAM to reduce the CPU overhead of scanning — on the order of 500MB to 1GB. You can configure it to use less but that’s not recommended unless you are starved on RAM. These days most computers come with much more RAM than your average workloads need, so using RAM to reduce CPU overhead is definitely the right call. [/QUOTE]
