tal ormanda Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 it is extremely slow. 1 CPU core is hogging the CPU alls the time and it uses 180MB RAM all the time:scrolling through the Explorer is nearly impossible, because of Defender. I've removed the crap with this tool:I have a terrible computer, and mine is nothing like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Defender has one of the best performance of all testes antivirus-tools, but detection-rate is really bad. :lol: No impact? each icon in explorer opens with a 2 sec delay.No impact? Good to see that your test shows that my NOD32 is better in performance. Be happy with your your crappy MSE/Defender and is terrible detection rate Edited November 5, 2012 by MagicAndre1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpclient Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If you are a very smart geek, you can turn off Defender. Defender IS slow, especially the one in Windows 8 because it's MSE now (same engine, doesn't matter). But it does slow down. If you must use an AV, use a free one like Avast that's light on resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
