Is it just me or is 3.0.684 faster?

Smacky, I honestly cant provide you with what you are asking. So I respect your need for solid criteria and I guess we will just have to leave it at that for now. You are right in asking but I know what I am seeing with Version 684. So I apologize with not answering your post in the informative manor you asked for.

 

According to my scan logs a full scan isn't any faster. But the impression I have is one of web pages loading faster. 684 just has a different feel to it.

 

In all honesty, it reminds me of running Geswall and nothing else. I do know my internet speeds are as fast as with Geswall, which up till now had the least impact on speed on my machines, if that helps. But here again, if I go to version 4, it all craps out in the beta. So that is why I said, Version 3 is now the product I had always hoped for. If I matched it up against Avira for web speed, it would be a toss up.

 

it's a lot faster than the sticky updates https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=218460

 

LOL

I keep wondering why they have not announced it here, it has been almost a week since the new version was released.

 

Here you want a damn changelog.

I have done tests on my machine and it is faster. Not subjective- but objective tests. In addition, I had 100% CPU spikes with all but 2.7 and uninstalled Eset for that reason. This build is not only empirically faster for boot-up, file opening and closing, and on-demand scan speed, but also does not cause CPU spikes on my machine. That is not the placebo effect, but it also does not prove this build is faster on other user's machines. Obviously, I cannot provide data for them. But my educated guess is that it is at least somewhat faster.

But it is faster on mine.

 

Its real close, but after tests, Ver 3 is slightly faster than Avira overall and the fastest I have ever used on my computer.

 

Defs definitely faster and more reliable. I'm happy with the new build.
Good job, ESET

 

Well after having used 684 for a couple of days i started to think "hey, this seems a bit snappier." I came in to check the change log and found this thread had been started. I didn't read the thread and then think "hmmmm.. actually.."

 

My boot up is definitely faster. Every morning I start my computer and go get a cup of coffee. By the time I return half my sys tray icons are up. After installing 3.0.684 all the icons are up when I return. You can't get better test results than that.

 

Maybe your coffee machine is taking longer?

 

No, I always make 2 cups and it beeps when it's done.

 

seems to be really more faster than previous version , and also from all AV i test in here.... very impressive

 

omg no i wanna test it myself
