I remember how McAfee detects Norton as a “threat” and Norton does the same with McAFee when you run them together

@lucassatie 4 года назад

That's actually how they're supposed to work though. It's not that it necessarily sees that it's a competitor's product but rather they detect that a program (any program) has accesses to your system that it probably shouldn't.

@DisturbedLick 4 года назад

@@lucassatie Uh, he said multiple times in the video they're usually just scanning a list of known viruses, not looking at permissions a program has. So, that's not how they work at all.

@skyrimax 4 года назад

When I bought my first laptop, it came with a 1 year licence of McAfee. Being new to the pc enthousiasm, I left if for a year, everything was great! Until a year and one day. The day that my licence expired, McAfee started hugginh 99% of my CPU, nringing my system to a halt! And the worst part? Whenever I started task manager, it would stop hugging to not be seen. Meanwhile, I was constantly being harrassed by McAfee popups saying that I was no longer protected or that my system had been infected, URGING me to renew for another year. I managed to find the culprit by first sorting the processes by CPU usage, most first, closing task manager, wait for my system to slow down, starting shadow play to record the screen then fire up task manager. By rewatching the fotage in slowmo, I saw McAfee at 99% for about a second before it stopped. Immediatly uninstalled it.

Same, my laptop came with McAfee, had it for about a year (it was normally a year but the countdown had started before I bought the laptop, but I didn't care). After the almost one year, I uninstalled it right away. TBH I am happy with Windows Defender, so far I haven't had any issues with anything, no viruses, no stupid notifications nothing, and no hits on the performance.

More than that, there's absolutely no difference between antivirus and antimalware. The term antivirus is used because it's iconic.

Fun fact: according to the most reputed antivirus testing site avtest, windows defender is realistically all you'll ever need. I tend to agree as I've never had a 3rd party antivirus/antimalware software since 2007 and I've never had my PC infected. I do live more dangerously than most others (if you know what i mean) but still defender seems to work just fine.

@driverdis3488 4 года назад

Yep, once Windows 10 came out Windows Defender became fine for people, especially the general public. I work retail and the first thing I tell customers when they come in to purchase antivirus is to uninstall their current antivirus and Windows Defender will protect them for free. I am shocked by how many people don’t even know Windows has free AntiVirus as they have always purchased computers from stores with preinstalled Norton or McAfee and always assumed they had to keep renewing it. I am sure most people disregard what I have to say since I am a retail worker but whatever, at least someone will listen and if not they can still buy their AV software in store (for now, until everything ends up all digital) I personally use Windows Defender, and for files I really don’t know anything about I will run them thorough virustotal for some additional AV perspectives on a file.

@98dizzard 4 года назад

I used to rely on Avast, but the software became too naggy. Constantly giving popups for special offers etc. Switched to defender, and haven't looked back, it's great, and less performance hit than Avast too.

@rainmaker6217 4 года назад

It really depends a lot. Defender/security is usually plenty for most people, but I have had atempts that were more sophisticated on my computer and defender does nothing against that. I used to have a subscription for Bitdefender, but due to various reasons I really couldn't use that any more as it both wasn't secure enough and didn't allow me the range of controll that I wanted. These days I use Emsisoft, and have mostly great experiences with that. I do understand that not everyone else gets affected by attacks as frequently as I do however (I do get exposed partly due to my interests, partly due to my job and partly just becasue of my stupid curiosity).

Like I know I can put stuff on the drive and compress stuff and take it away but the recording bloack has me stumped.

@n0t_a_d0ct0r6 2 года назад

Dude this video is exactly what I was looking for. I have been feeling for a while now, like windows defender slows down basic tasks, performance benchmarks aside. I’m just glad to know someone tested it so I know I’m not crazy. I feel like enabling real time protection, plus the reputation based app protection settings, slows down everything a ton. I mean, when I click, I expect to see something happen on screen relatively quick. Instead, I have a pc that I consider to be quite good, ans I sit and wait ten seconds before anything pops up on screen after I open an application. With 64Gb of RAM, 9% memory usage approximately during these times, m.2 NVMe drive, minimal CPU usage, low temps; left me thinking ‘I know my pc is not being bottlenecked or throttling, so what is it doing between the time that I click, and the time that I see results on screen’ I was looking in reputation based protection, and there is a feature which came enabled, that scans windows apps from windows store to see if they’re doing anything “bad”. Another feature that scans ‘non windows store’ apps, another feature that scans ‘bad reputation’ apps; etc. I feel like whether you are starting a program, transferring a file, downloading and unzipping, that the AV software is scanning literally every action that happens, looking for something wrong; if you have all those protections enabled. At the same time, as soon as you start disabling that stuff, I feel like windows realizes something’s not turned on, and fudges speeds even more. Just give me an OS that makes the dang computer compute, and don’t force all this extra BS on me. Anyway, I’m just happy to find this video, It was cool to see statistics on it, and normally when I go searching for answers, I only find half explanations, or the basic BS that everyone else seems to post. I really like this channel. Love the video

Also a drive with more than just the required software to test. My family insists on using norton or mcafee(and i let them because they click shit they shouldn’t.). But when they get a new pc and the antivirus gets installed its fine. About 3-6 months later after they have installed a bunch of shit and filled a decent portion of the drive, shit is slowed down massively, and thats after i kill off all the shit that start on boot and restart. Thats where this test fails.

@mr.bennett108 4 года назад

Back in the late Aughts, I actually worked FOR Symantec AND Webroot collecting application benchmarks to assess performance impact by antivirus suites. The worst performances were ALWAYS in file transfers. Without spilling too much tea, essentially the way anti-malware suites work are by hashing every single file on the system into a log, uploading the log to their cloud server (or against their own local definition base) and then just saying "these are known hashes, are any of them on the system?" Then, it just monitors the system for CHANGES to files and updates the SHA in the table after comparing it to the SHA database. So, if you do big file transfers or do something that is constantly updating a single file (like Zipping something), it'll be constantly hitting that hashing algo and doing SHA compares, which is what tanks the access time performance.
