One most important reason I like retunil like softwares is it's performance. This kind of softwares do not need to check the file in background. But, from retunil 3, you add the anti-virus feature. Is it going to slow down the system like other anti-virus software?

Hello sunnice and welcome to the forums :)

The AV in RVS is there for a very specific purpose and does not have the same performance hit you would get from a stand-alone AV solution. The object is to look content as it is being saved to the real disk, is attempting to do something known to be bad, or is attempting to activate without the need to continuously scan the file system etc. This is why the implementation is extremely fast and also why RVS is still compatible with most 1st, and 2nd tier AV solutions.

Give it a try and let us know your impressions of the performance.

At the moment RVSMON.EXE is chewing up 100% CPU cycles from reboot, even 7 hours later with either "Antiviris" enabled or disabled!

Far more of a "performance" hit than any AV I know of :P
