Antivirus performance comparison
All computer users should consider installing a third-party antivirus software. These tools will help you identify and eliminate malware on the PC, and they can also block malicious sites that might try to take over or corrupt data. However they can also significantly slow down a computer’s performance when they run an analysis or updating their database of affected files. This article will examine how different antivirus programs perform in tests to measure how much they slow down the speed and performance of computers in comparison to other similar solutions.
The independent AV Comparisons lab performs various tests to test the security software products. The tests focus on protection in real-world scenarios such as detection of infected files (classical testing) and the performance. The AV-Comparatives award Gold, Bronze, and Silver awards according to the results of each type of test.
This particular test was inspired by a real-life scenario for a customer. Many customers use complicated PowerShell scripts to transfer content from one file system to another and these processes can take a few hours or even days to complete. These complicated scripts run on high-performance hardware, and we wanted to see how the duration of the antivirus scanner would influence this, and how the tools used the available resources on each machine.
Avira Prime performed well in AV-Comparatives tests, including 100% Mac malware and PUA protection as well as 100% Windows Malware detection. However it requires a subscription for full functionality, and its marketing messages are often quite irritating.
