Apart from the most popular antivirus .... I from time follow the performance of BULLGUARD in the various tests of this type. BULLGUARD is proving to be an excellent antivirus. Too bad that when almost no one take it into consideration .... Do not even exist a trial reset: BOX except one made from a long time ago now that I no longer work on version 2013.

hello

bullguard engine bitdefender ;)

hello

bullguard engine bitdefender ;)

Yes...and use outpost firewall.... ;)

I don´t know why Nsane.down is not Providing GData 2014 yet?! :shy: I am using the Suite and I think it´s very cool and light on resources! In the case I don´t find "the proper Medicine" for it I plan to buy it for sure. There´s a new technology attached to their system which gives even more security. :yes:

[Nautilus]

Bullguard FTW! B)

Funny. Apparently, BitDefender and Kaspersky has better performance than ESET. :P

Except that performance part, things seem fine. :)

A few words about Bullguard:

"BullGuard does not rely only on the BitDefender's scanning engine."

"We are also using a second scanning engine (mostly for Behavioral and On Access detection) and 3 sets of definitions, from which one is "home made"."

"The Safe Browsing and Spamfilter plugins include technologies from several world leaders in those fields, such as Commtouch ( adopted by Google and many others)."

"The Firewall module is created by Agnitum, whilst the Vulnerability scanner (the ex Inspector) was developed with Secunia."

Some thinks wrong here Kaspersky better performance then ESET??? .......Kaspersky is a resource pig when scanning,

That's what I am saying. But AV-Test guys think BitDefender and Kaspersky have better performance than ESET. :rofl:

[teodor12]

Eset seems more a users diseas than an antivirus . Nod 32 was really good but nothing in common with actual eset

I`m curious about Emsisoft or Agnitum

it`s difficult to compare a free antivirus and a internet security with firewall in terms of protection

[avmad]

This looks like a load of rubbish. Maybe it makes sense if you read the testing criteria :rolleyes: I can't be bothered.

Look at Comodo's protection :o I'm sure it is better than that.

Performance is more than just RAM usage.

Of course Kaspersky is resource pig, for some. :tehe:

Agnitum strategic partners - link:

EIS and Outpost Security Suite are so not for everyone.

As for Comodo I don't trust Melih. <_<

As for Webroot :shit:

[maia]

I think we are doing a bit of confusion... :)

Given that I never take as absolute truth any kind of antivirus tests than those made by me ....

This test has a certain importance because the first done on windows 8.

Windows 8 is a new OS: it is clear that not all antivirus tath worked very well in windows 7 work equally well on Windows 8.

For example, comodo 6 - as I am told some friends - proves to have serious problems in 64-bit OS and also between these windows 8. Same for Avira.

Best Regards.

wow, are you using just AV or internet security, i use KIS 2013 and mine looks way higher while idle:

while scanning:

but still, no problem for my i7 8gig lappy.. B)

@lordnsane

It was picture of Kaspersky PURE 3.

What is important is CPU usage and disk I/O.

On 4GB of RAM minus all Windows and 3rd party services and application running 200MB is nothing.

You have option to select - on many security software to give priority to other applications and to do nothing on high disk/CPU usage.

Increasing performance on AV is almost always related to decreasing protection level.

Kaspersky 2014, from what I have read on their forum, among other new features and improvements is gonna have much lower performance impact.

@flaubert

You're absolutely right. I've noticed that products developed prior Windows 8 used higher RAM when installed on Windows 8, and reason is that Windows 7 API and Windows 8 API are not interpreted always in the same way, it's still 99,99% compatible, and good code on Windows 7 can become bad code on Windows 8.

Analogy can be made for 32 bit and 64 bit OS.

As for tests I also take them with certain reserve.

[DKT27]

@ande: To a lot extent, the performance is a lot to do with the "feel" of the system. I've installed Kaspersky's different major versions and irrespective of it's memory usage (900MB :p [don't worry, memory leak ;) ]), I found it made my system sluggish. Same happened with Avast. Not exactly, but BD was half-slow when compared to Kaspersky. Surprisingly, coming back to ESET made the system "feel" fast again. Hence, for me, BD and KS to be rated higher than ESET for "performance" is quite incorrect.

[ande]

Seems that Emsisoft, F-Secure, G DATA, Kaspersky, Qihoo, BullGuard and avast!(free) did a great job at latest AVC test.

[dcs18]

Just an heads-up to clear up some misconceptions:-

I'm computing on 2 different system with identical applications, programs, configurations - in fact, they are both clones.

There are only 2 minor differences:-

• One system runs on Windows 7 and the other runs on Windows 8
• One of the systems has a slightly weaker graphics - otherwise all other hardware is identical.

Just want everybody to know that almost every application and program (not just limited to NOD32) runs faster and utilizes less memory on my Windows 8 than on the Windows 7.
