Congratulations for your Internet Security Suite. And Belated "Happy B'Day"

 

Thank you

 

Happy B'Day

 

Happy B'day indeed

Thou how can you say that Zillya! is "light" on system resources I wonder?

From your website:
""Low system resources consumption Zillya! Internet Security takes only 120-130Mb of memory.""

 

has it log ability?

 

Thank you

Do you think 120-130Mb it's too many?
Compare it's with other AV's. Look this, for example: http://www.eset.com.sg/comparison/

 

Are you using 256 MB of RAM? If "YES" then probably Zillya IS is not for you... Oh C'mon on Man...These days everybody have more than 1 GB in their working system, so why are you bothering about 120 MB only?

 

Happy B'Day
@ Avinash
it is true that many have more than 1 gig of ram but to me it is not normal that just FW AV and nothing else takes more than 120 meg

 

85% of this memory usage - AV bases, loaded to memory. Most AVs use much more, but do not always show it.

 

No, it's too simple, and have no such functionality.

 

Because I only got 512MB of RAM, and not 256

Even if I had 4GB of RAM I would not like my AV/IS to use more than 0-80MB of RAM while idle, however while scanning on-demand it's OK if it uses more.

 

Most? enlighten us please

 

Really? How do they hide it? Can you give some examples?

 

Increase your liking upto 135 MB

 

If someone have forgot this wonderful test made by our friend Raymond over at Raymond.cc
Wich shows Memory PEAK and IDLE usage etc...

PS Avinash > I edited my post now it can't go any higher than 80MB

 

LOL ...Really RWL ...

If you have 4 GB then why don't you use it. For what reason you are keeping it free? Any specific reason for not using it full?

 

Many people like to leave resources open for resource intensive apps, likes games, etc..

 

Because I don't have 4GB of RAM, I only got 512MB unfortunately.

What I meant was, EVEN if I had 4GB of RAM I would not like that my AV/IS used that amount of resources anyway

 

Windows uses an API call to get the list of processes and their memory usage, you could manipulate the results of the API. Its same like Rootkit activity...

Its just like hiding your process from the process list...

 

Can anyone give examples of current AVs that do this?

 

I can give you...But i don't want to spoil my relationships with those vendors...

 

You can always send clocks and me "SweX" a PM with the vendors names?

 

I can't break their trust...Hope you understand..

 

The real story:

There is a huge difference between idle RAM usage and memory usage (memory usage: total memory consumed (physical and virtual) by the protection components installed on an idle computer).

Let's take my security product for example, ESET. It has always been praised for it's low resource usage. But the last years people are saying it hogs system resources: because it uses a "staggering" 50MB of RAM. Nowadays that is more than other products claim to do. So people say ESET is heavy.
Now let's look at it's memory usage, it is 162MB (remember: both physical and virtual). I see some people will be shocked, and they will now think ESET is extremely heavy. But you are wrong, let's look at some competitors. [I am sorry for the the fanboyism, but I think it is within the limits.]

ESET Smart Security 4: 162MB
Kaspersky Internet Security 2010: 246MB
Norton Internet Security 2009: 363MB
Trend Micro Internet Security 2009: 431MB
AVG Internet Security 8.5: 719MB
McAfee Internet Security 2009: 973MB

The test also tested more performance aspects: boot time, on-access scan, on-demand scan and open a large file. See the link.
The overall rankings based on all the above mentioned tests:
1. Kaspersky, 2. ESET, 3. Norton, 4. Trend Micro, 5. McAfee, 6. AVG

One note: the source of this information is june 2009 and so it is exactly one year old, but really, in that 12 months it didn't change that much. Most products are just 1 version higher (All products with year version are 1 year version higher, ESET a minor version higher (4.0 -> 4.2) and AVG a major version higher (8.5 -> 9.0)), no shocking differences. Maybe 5% better performance max, if I am really optimistic. Also notice KIS2010 and NIS2009. KIS is always released earlier: May each year, just like this year. Now we have KIS2011 and NIS2010. In fact like I said it is exactly one year ago. And I think it is still really valid.

The test was performed by Cascadia Labs, requested by Kaspersky to test their product performance against their main competitors.
