Back in 200x, we had a very old machine. It had 64Mb of RAM only. We had to install AV on this and through sifting through the AV softwares, only eset nod32 ran on it without slowing it down or taking too much resources. I like how they optimised it to the point where I could run it on that old machine. They say they write it in Assembly but I think it's just a marketing ploy. However the result satisfies me enough. From then until now our business has gone through a lot but ESET has never been something that bothered us too much. It just sits in the background doing its thing. I have terrible memories of Symantec / McAfee just being annoying, but Nod32 is just the thing you install, it sits there and you can forget about it. |

I don't know if it's a marketing ploy rntksi. What you are describing so far sounds very much like it has been written in something like Assembly if not actually assembly. From what I know at least. (Could totally be way off)
Assembly as I know it, is used because it's not resource heavy if written properly. And an antivirus definitely needs to be written properly.
Anyways. Yeah, I am probably going to give it a look for use on my intel workstation/server. It's definitely one of the 'vulnerable' chips they released.
Oh well. So long as it does its job.
Symantec. shudders with rage
