[QUOTE="Rydian, post: 4395677, member: 244492"] Suggesting that somebody change AVs to one with lesser resource usage is fine, but suggesting users run without an AV at all in modern times is [b]damaging advice[/b] and I, for one, will NOT tolerate that shit. If you're not going to take personal computer security seriously then [b]GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SECTION[/b]. To answer your questions, [i]this shit 'aint the Wii[/i]. Modern computers are used for all sorts of serious activities that require privacy. Online banking and shopping, personal/family e-mails, things of that nature are things that modern criminals target. Modern infections are designed with data mining and fear mongering tactics in order to get hold of a user's private information however they can. Whether it's a keylogger recording their bank info or scaring a user into putting it into a fake site, they can wipe somebody's account clean in minutes. Personal information? I, personally, have naked pics of multiple women I've gone out with stored in a truecrypt container on my computer. If my OS was compromised (background screen streaming, remote access while I have the volume mounted, etc.) those [i]very personal[/i] images could easily be leaked out on the internet without permission (not to mention that it's just private shit to begin with). And what about work secrets? Modern companies keep all sorts of records and transactions digital, and there's a growing "work from home" force that do office work from home (say, over a VPN). If the main OS is compromised then any sort of stream or feed from the VPN could easily be rerouted elsewhere, exposing internal company data to the public. So I'm pretty sure that "keeping a user's bank account from being emptied" is a higher priority than some CPU or I/O overhead. [/QUOTE]
