Another cause of system slowdown, is a result of two software applications performing a similar task.
For instance, security software can clash with a background process, such as a system maintenance tool or defragmentation software. Most system performance issues are often a result of other software clashing with your brand new software.
The PRO version offers additional functionality including an additional Bitdefender engine, protection against Ransomware attack, proactive detection of malicious system actions and much more. Note that IObit Malware Fighter works as freeware until you enter your PRO serial code which you receive after purchasing. The "Smart Scan" checks only the most critical areas of your PC, and runs fairly quickly (around 7 minutes on our test PC) you can run a complete system scan if you prefer, while the "Custom Scan" allows you to choose exactly what you'd like the program to examine.Īnd Malware Fighter also includes real-time protection in the shape of 5 guards, which variously monitor your startup programs, browser settings, cookies, the web pages you view, and the files you access.īetter still, if you already have security installed, Malware Fighter will sit alongside your existing security suite and provide 'on demand' scanning for a second look at your system. The entire thing can be avoided by only allowing one scanner to run on-access scanning while any others will be on-demand only.IObit Malware Fighter is a straightforward antispyware tool that can protect your PC in several different ways.įor example, you can run an on-demand scan to look for spyware, adware, trojans, bots, and other threats that your regular antivirus software might have missed. Big deadlock situation that will cause some scanners to completely block access to files, including system files required to allow the system to continue to run. Another more devastating (performance-wise) possibility is when one of the scanners access the file for scanning, the other scanner sees this and decides it needs to scan the file first which triggers the first scanner seeing this new access and sees that it hasn't completed its scan of the file, so it wants to deny access to the second scanner until its scan is completed. The situation arises that the system access a file, both scanners see this and both compete for access to the file to scan it. The on-access scanners are the ones that will cause the problems.
The big issue has to do with if they are on-demand scanners or if they are on-access scanners. The issue in general is not a simple matter of a simple number of installed antivirus or antimalware programs installed, but in how they operate.
