Glad to see you've solved your problem richmondj93, which shields have you disabled and which shield do you think was causing the performance drop ?
Also glad to see that Avast had automatically disabled defender as I know it does
I think the screenshot pretty much proved that fact.
@richmondj93,
Frequent and streaming updates is one of the features that sets avast! apart from it's free competitors and,
enhances your chances of avoiding an infection. Disabling protection features may gain some resources for you but, is the
loss in protection worth that gain
All things in life are a tradeoff. This decision isn't any different.
Hmm...streaming updates are a great feature but as to it offering better protection over other free av,s,well that is a conundrum.
The chances of a casual web user coming across a "streamed" up date is hit and miss.
As to the issue of windows defender,well this is utter nonsense.
When people buy a new laptop or desktop and install an av,Just wonder how many people actually forget to turn off defender.!?
They still run a fairly smooth system.
Im leaving this topic now and said my piece in the nature of peace.
It will just turn into a fanboy frenzy before our eyes.
Au revoir.
