[QUOTE="blackice, post: 1078065, member: 79035"] Honestly I probably deleted the screenshots because they had served their purpose of my own personal information gathering. My comment was anecdotal. But as a long time user of Microsoft Defender I have not seen the impact they show. I know certain developers do see severe IO issue. That’s not something I ever do. Opening apps, startup, and most daily tasks are pretty much the same with any solution I’ve tried. When Avast/AVG was rated as very low impact by AV-Comparatives I saw an approximate 8% worse performance in CPU intensive tasks like handbrake, or benchmarking like Cinebench. The only security software I have experienced that was demonstrably lighter on CPU load was ESET, and that was about 2%. That’s with a fairly modern 8 core 16 thread processor. Laptops or less powerful desktops might see much higher impacts. Again I was giving my experience from memory. I’m not trying to convince you of anything, just noting that I have found the AV-Comparatives performance metrics mostly useless for my use case. [/QUOTE]
