I am currently using WormGuard on a 30-day trial period. Everything seems to be normal so far but a recent thread here at wilders commented upon a possible drain on system resources by WormGuard. 1. Can Wormguard drain system resources? I have seen little evidence of this on my Pentium 3, 1.2GHz, 512mB memory laptop. 2. I run XP Pro without the service pack. Is WormGuard 3(&4) fully functional/ stable on XP without SP1? Due to past experiences with service packs I am relunctant to install SP1. 3. Would you recommend waiting for WormGuard 4 to appear before purchasing for a XP system?
Hi Blackcat, WG is almost unnoticable in the background, like you can see wuing any program like TaskInfo, Wintasks, or such, and only jumping up when needed and then noticable a short moment. Does this thread help with some of the other answers? http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=4182 Try out the WG3 you have as much as possible without the SP1 and see if it's stable on your system. WG4 will only be even better. I mean: if WG3 is working ok there's no reason to wait.
Hi I was running Wormguard, TDS3 and Kav4 before SP1 with out a drain on system resources. As Jooske said try it out IT’s a great program. Regards
