iktribegr63 0 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I have just bought and installed ESET smart security and Malwarebytes premium after ditching Kaspersky due to several issues. I now notice that my fans are running at a speed I have never heard before and at least 50% of my ram is occupied at all times, this is in idle mode with no apps open just looking at the screen. The pricessor usage is 1-3%. This must be due to the newly installed software which feels like a bit of a bummer since I recall both should be pretty lightweight. What settings are appropriate for both software to make their resource usage lower and still have good protection? I have a brand new killer notebook so there should be no issue on the hardware end of things. Link to post Share on other sites
Administrators Marcos 3,634 Posted November 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 26, 2020 It is a rule of thumb to keep only one real-time protection active at a time. You can keep MBAM installed as a second-opinion on-demand scanner alongside with ESET but make sure that its real-time protection is disabled and none of its drivers are running.
