Why are we even messing with anything other than WD these days?

[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 887722, member: 78686"] The main issue for me is the performance. I'm very happy with it protection wise specially thanks to Andy's Configure Defender. But the performance is consistently inconsistent on my system. What I mean is, things at which WD is supposedly good at (Apps opening) is quite irregular on my system. Apps like Firefox, Edge, Office applications, Revo Uninstaller always opens really fast while apps like Steam, Everything, MPC-BE, Telegram portable, etc loads slowly on first run upon executing from start menu shortcuts with a 2-3 seconds system freezing like scenario along with high CPU and disk usage when these apps run for the first after system startup. This is the main reason I usually keep going back to ESET which has absolutely no noticeable system impact. MS should take the performance impact issue more seriously since I'm not the only one with this issue but that may not happen anytime soon/ever. Probably their engine is CPU heavy, the removal of cache upon system shutdown and other issues I'm not qualified to understand properly. [/QUOTE]
