Super_Spartan 56 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) I no longer have NOD32 installed as I noticed a performance deterioration in my SSD Benchmarks even though it was disable at the time of the benchmark..... I then ran the same benchmark while McAfee Antivirus Plus was installed and running (not disabled) and got even higher results.... I can't provide you with any system information right now other than the specs of my laptop but here goes........ The only reason I mentioned this is because I remember a user here once complaining about how NOD32 AV affects Samsung 950 PRO SSD Performance...... With NOD32 installed / disabled: McAfee AntiVirus Plus installed and running: Edited February 13, 2017 by Phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,271 Posted February 13, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 13, 2017 In order to completely disable real-time protection, you'd need to disable the automatic real-time protection start option in the advanced setup and restart the computer. I'd like to emphasize that worse results in this benchmark do not mean that ESET affects your system performance badly; the issue is expected to manifest basically only with this benchmark application. We were even unable to reproduce the issue with the latest version of the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
