It is important to know the amount of computer resources your antivirus program will consume. The most effective programs will have very little impact on your system’s performance while providing superior protection against viruses and malware.

The most reputable antivirus companies have extensive test programs that are widely published in PDF format for download. The reports provide quick and easy ratings of performance, protection and usability of each suite, along with precise graphs and charts showing the results of certain testing elements. The percentage of real-world malware and reference set exposures that the program blocks, neutralizes or compromises, along with the number of false positives detecting of legitimate programs, are important figures to look out for.

Avast Free Antivirus had the highest scores for Windows virus detection in tests conducted by AVComparatives in June 2023. It also had the highest rate of success in blocking Mac malware. It also scored highly for the categories of full-scan, passive, and quick-scan.

Bitdefender Total Security was the most non-intrusive paid program followed by Kaspersky Total Security, and ESET Security Cloud Free. However it was the slowest in the full-scan and quick-scan category. The slight background impact could be due to the fact that the program does not run by default on Windows 10 and 11, like its competitors do.

Intego X10 was the most efficient in terms of overall background and full-scan system impacts, yet it managed to detect every single piece of malware tested. It’s a rare company that only focuses on Macs, making it an excellent addition to any security arsenal.
