    Since the guard.exe needs to run for both of these free versions, even though it consumes such a tiny amount of memory, do you guys notice any slowdown of your machine with these free programs?

    No.

    They didn't use any CPU when they aren't open, and the "guard.exe" only use about 1,3MB of memory...
