calguyhunk Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 MSE is one of the slowest AV's I have used in a long while. Folders with multiple large executable files take such a long while to open, that I've to disable real time protection every time I open my designated Downloads > Programs folder :(On the other hand, Avast has one of the fastest scan speeds, De-compression is wayyy faster and overall, not at all a resource hog. Dunno how they rank the same in PC Mark :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how they rank the same in PC Mark :dunno: Totally opposite here. MSE was quite fast, Avast has always been slow here. Slowing down my games (loading and playing) drastically. MSE, I only uninstalled only because I felt it was less secure, had no problems with performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 19, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 19, 2012 Actually, there was another reason I left MSE, CPU spike. Me on quad core, MSE used to constantly spike to 25%, which is 100% of a single core. That was something I didn't like. Otherwise it performed fine.

majithia23 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yet another ... <_< I ll agree with D here . The last time i tried both , MSE impacted the system way less than Avast . Avast feels modern and snappier . Note - "feels" . But it in fact , does acts as performance limiter . I noticed delays in programs , explorer windows and browser runs. MSE , on the other hand feels like an old outdated bland mule when compared to Avast , but the fact is i hardly noticed it running on my system when i had it . The only worry part was the slow updates and it just being plain TOO simple . Dont get me started on Kaspersky . Its way too much . Too much in power , too complex , too hungry and just too much everything .Scrolling through the interface and wandering around its myriad of options I felt like this piece of software is meant to control the security of something like the " Millenium Falcon Space Ship of Star Wars " and when i wanted just a simple security software for my laptop ! <_< Norton , one hell of a smart ass . Too much AI . And in my habitat two smart asses cannot live together . So it has no room near me ! :P If i am to take a pick - ESET . Not the best , but better than the rest . ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 My reason for ditching MSE was the total lack of granularity. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 20, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 20, 2012 My reason for ditching MSE was the total lack of granularity. :( Use Avast then. :rofl: Nah, just joking. Your opinion is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguyhunk Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 My reason for ditching MSE was the total lack of granularity. :( Huh :o Granu... what? :wtf: I had to Google that. Thanks for teaching me a new word :P From Wikipedia - "Granularity is the extent to which a system is broken down into small parts, either the system itself or its description or observation. It is the extent to which a larger entity is subdivided. For example, a yard broken into inches has finer granularity than a yard broken into feet." :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vissha Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Actually, there was another reason I left MSE, CPU spike. Me on quad core, MSE used to constantly spike to 25%, which is 100% of a single core. That was something I didn't like. Otherwise it performed fine. Hey I'm also using Quad Core, AMD Phenoim II x945. But in idle mode, only 0-1% of my CPU is used. I think there is something else taking CPU load, please look on to it. If MSE, then change settings of MSE.

I think there is something else taking CPU load, please look on to it. If MSE, then change settings of MSE. No, that happens during activities. Scanning downloads, folders, drives, or while opening executable files or large PP documents. Painfully slow and high resource usage. ;) Not to mention 'a total lack of granularity' as our resident English Professor mentioned :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is something else taking CPU load, please look on to it. If MSE, then change settings of MSE. The reason most likely is because of me seeding of torrents. But I do the seeding for like 14 hours a day, I don't like MSE to spike every second for that. And if there was an exclusions option in MSE, I believe I already added my torrent client.
