Will you really not notice any performance degradation from anti virus? Really?
- DannoHung 17y agoIt is SO horrible. It's like if you stuck 30 pound weights on one hand of a sprinter.
- stcredzero 17y agoI use ClamX AV. I have it set to do scans of new Downloads and scans late at night. I have no problems at all.
- motters 17y ago"you won't notice any performance degradation at all" O RLY?? I beg to differ. I've seen the PCs of friends and relations reduced to a pitiful level of performance by well known so-called "security" software.
- stcredzero 17y agoBad or inappropriate software of all sorts can do that. Security software is no different. My dad keeps trying to install security software which he discovers through pop-ups on Korean websites. Fortunately, I bought him a Mac, and most of that stuff is a *.exe file. Unfortunately, this is not enough! :(
- fnid 17y agoYep. Unfortunately, this is becoming more and more true. Typical computer users just don't know the difference between "safe computer use" and "unsafe computer use." It's the same as human viruses. If you do things that are safe, you dramatically reduce your chances of infection.
