today I've uninstalled a number of different antivirus packages from a selection of systems and replaced them with VIPRE and on every system I'm seeing and feeling a performance boost. But what makes matters worse is that any security software that you install onto the system amplifies these problems greatly.įirst off, the performance claims do seem to be real. It suffers from not enough RAM and too many drivers and specific apps (which are tricky to remove without losing features) kludging up the system. The notebook is question is an aging IBM ThinkPad R51e that runs Windows XP and which hasn't really been all that fast from the start. Last night my wife and I were at my mother-in-laws and the subject of her slow notebook came up. I'm not going to name any names - I'm pretty sure that most of you will be able to rattle off a list of them without any prompting from me. There have been times when seeing the performance hit that a system takes after installing a security package has actually made me put my head in my hands and wonder whether all these strides we have made in processor power and RAM capacities are all undone thanks to security firms unleashing their bloated wares upon us.
