Which antivirus programs delay your computer

A new survey conducted on May 9, 2018, by AV-Comparatives ranked the programs that are widely available in the market in terms of the time they slow down your system's performance for PCs running Windows 10.

The test was performed on a Lenovo G50 powered by an Intel Core i3 chip, 4GB of RAM and a hard drive. The it was Windows 10, with the Fall Creators Update, and all apps were installed with their default settings.
Η AV-Comparatives πραγματοποίησε μια σειρά από εργασίες, όπως αντιγραφή αρχείων, αρχειοθέτηση και αφαίρεση αρχείων, εγκατάσταση και κατάργηση εφαρμογών, εκκίνηση προγραμμάτων, λήψη αρχείων, on websites and the PCMark 10 application as reference.

The worst performance was recorded when testing Microsoft's Windows Defender, which comes pre-installed in Windows 10. Windows Defender caused a significant drop in performance when copying files and installing applications, with πτώση να σημειώνεται κατά τη διάρκεια της λήψης αρχείων. Η λύση ασφαλείας της Microsoft πέτυχε 96,7 μονάδες στο of PCMark 10, which isn't as good as Avira's 99,4 points, but it's not as bad as Quick Heal's 95,2 points.

Overall, Windows Defender solemnly finished in last place, while K7, ESET, Avast, AVG, Bitdefender and Kaspersky received the best results.

According to the research, the majority of antivirus solutions, barely affected performance when browsing websites or copying files, but the biggest slowdown was recorded when launching applications for the first time. Products of Tencent companies, , Emsisoft and VIPRE slow down systems when new applications are first run.

In a related note, AV-Comparatives states that "although we report the results for the first opening of an application as well as for the subsequent openings, we consider the next openings more important, since this function is done several times by the users".

Keep in mind that this research was conducted with a low-end device, so the impact on performance may be significantly smaller in the case of a computer with newer hardware and SSDs.
