Avira vs avast phone pro#
With that said, I’ve been using either Panda Free Antivirus 2016 (uses 30MB or so) Avira Pro (uses 60MB or so) Trend Micro Antivirus + (uses 65MB or so) and the “new” Mcafee Free Cloud AV, which is in beta but works great (uses 30MB or so). I don’t want a “suite” with tools like shredders, privacy checkups, etc that are useless to me personally.

Windows Defender on Win 10 uses about 60-65MB at idle. So I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find a *basic* real-time always-on Anti virus that uses less memory than Windows Defender and provides better protection. But, I’m not using any product that uses that much memory. Another surprise was ESET (130MB) which in years past, geeks loved. Yet the labs and most reviews praise it as being light.

Biggest surprise was Bitdefender (paid versions) using so much memory (200MB plus at idle – almost as much as McAfee!). It’s funny, being a geek I did a test like this myself over the past 12 months on the 2015/2016 versions, using pretty much the same process as these guys did. If your current package is hungry for memory, this does give you a good idea of what the lightest antivirus packages are that you might like to look at a bit closer. Therefore you shouldn’t automatically assume lighter is better because a more memory efficient program might not have the amount of features of an antivirus using a few more Megabytes. Although Bitdefender’s memory did fluctuate a lot, on average it still consumes a lot of memory for a program with virtually no features or options.įinal Note: While these results obviously test the antivirus memory usage, they don’t take into account the features present in each application and its detection rates. What used to be possibly the lightest antivirus package you could get for free, is now quite heavy on memory usage, especially during a scan. While Comodo seems to have improved its memory efficiency in recent times, Avira appears to have gone in the opposite direction.
It was quite a surprise to see a couple of antivirus packages actually using an average of nearly 200MB while sitting idle.At the other end, red is the heaviest and orange the next most memory hungry. The colors are self explanatory with green the lightest antivirus and yellow second best. The result tables are simply split into two, one for the idle memory usage and one for the usage during a virus scan, both in alphabetical order.
