    Hi,

    Like to know if somebody should tell me how are KAV 5.0227 vs 5.0325

    1.- Use of Resources
    2.- Speed,

    I remember that read that 5.0325 is taking more resources and put slow down the systems

    Thank you,

    One difference i noticed, is that 5.0.325 version doesn't have the option in the "settings->configure updater" tab to select bewteen standard and extended databases. It only has the options "internet " and "local folder". So we don't know if the default is standard or extended and propably it can't be changed.

    There is a setting for the extended bases, under settings and exclusions then use dropdown button to select extended bases in 5.0.325

    on my system 5.0227 uses less resources than 5.0325, but 5.0325 is significantly faster

    On my system 5.0.0227 was quite a bit faster for on-demand scanning than 5.0.0325 (10 minutes versus 12 minutes for 41000 files). The new Kav 6.0.12.171 beta is also slower than 5.0.0227 in scanning (10 versus 12 minutes) but resource usage is way down (between 6 to 8 Mbs). Nice interface on the new version, as well.

    Actually, I'm seeing the opposite on my system. Boot times have decreased from over 1 minute to 10 seconds with 5.0325. Scans take a few minutes longer ( 17 min vs 13 min) but more files seem to be scanned. I may be wrong on that,though. As an aside, an issue I had with Ad-Aware SE and, later, with Counterspy seems to be fixed. Other than this, all seems the same.

    325 uses a bit more memory, but the on access scanner seems to run faster. Honestly, it is no biggie either way.
