TrojanHunter vs Ewido

People always say this sort of thing, after looking at how much memory and/or CPU time the EXE uses in a task-viewing utility (such as Task Manager or Process Explorer). But real-time monitors like THGuard.exe use kernel drivers, and those drivers use CPU time (often a lot of CPU time), which isn't so easily viewed.

 

My observation was based on the fact that I don't see a noticeable slowdown in my system while it's running, whereas I do with ewido.

However, CPU and Mem usage of THGuard exe is also lower than corresponding ewidoguard exe.

 

Good answer. I agree. THGuard and its driver use an annoying amount of CPU to me, but only when I bother to look in Process Explorer . THGuard is also by far the least-problematic real-time AT solution I've used.

So to respond to the original post of this thread: I've used Ewido and TrojanHunter, but only the latter is bearable for me. Ewido's real-time component bogs my system down way too much. The whole application lacks too many features (exclusion list, etc.) for me to put up with it.

Given that Ewido [any version] and BOClean 4.21.002 present really aggravating problems on my system, TrojanHunter is the AT solution I've settled on.
