Why it isn't a good idea to run multiple full antivirus products at the same time (emsisoft.com)4. More isn’t always more: Little advantage for high resource cost
4. 更多并不总是更多:高资源成本优势不大
This is actually the strongest reason against running two full protection systems simultaneously. Virus/malware protection products today are rather complex and the exponentially growing number of threats (it doubles every year) requires a lot of code to keep the computer safe. This naturally results in a relatively high usage of computer resources, especially its memory (RAM). By running two full antivirus programs all the time, you’re basically wasting resources, because 90 percent or more of their functionality will be the same. All available protection products of reputable vendors today operate on very high quality standards and detection rates often only differ by about 1-2 percent according to test labs.
这实际上是反对同时运行两个完整保护系统的最有力原因。当今的病毒/恶意软件防护产品相当复杂,威胁数量呈指数级增长(每年翻倍),需要大量代码来保证计算机安全。这自然会导致计算机资源的使用率相对较高,尤其是内存(RAM)。一直运行两个完整的防病毒程序基本上是在浪费资源,因为它们 90% 或更多的功能是相同的。如今,信誉良好的供应商提供的所有可用防护产品都按照非常高的质量标准运行,根据测试实验室的数据,检测率通常仅相差约 1-2%。
So, you might end up spending 0.5 to 1 GB or more of your available RAM to bring your detection rate up from, say, 98 percent to 99 percent. But is this minuscule improvement really worth it? Every new file on the computer would need to be scanned by both products, triggering two complex sets of code that use a lot of your CPU time, which could undoubtedly be better used for other tasks – you know, stuff you actually want to do on the computer.
因此,您最终可能会花费 0.5 到 1 GB 或更多的可用 RAM 来将检测率从 98% 提高到 99%。但这种微小的改进真的值得吗?计算机上的每个新文件都需要由这两种产品扫描,从而触发两组复杂的代码,这些代码会占用大量 CPU 时间,这无疑可以更好地用于其他任务 - 你知道,你真正想做的事情电脑。
The better option is to go for one product that comes with multiple scanning engines that are tuned to work together seamlessly, or a product that uses a layered protection approach with different technologies, or, better still, a product that implements both.
更好的选择是选择一款配备多个扫描引擎的产品,这些扫描引擎经过调整可以无缝协同工作,或者使用采用不同技术的分层保护方法的产品,或者更好的是,选择同时实现这两种引擎的产品。
