Software A lot.
Benchmark Scores Its fast. Enough.
As the title states, every time Firefox is launched the Anti-Malware service scans it. In the day and age where heuristics, and trusted files exist, this seems like a blantent attempt to sabotage other options.
 
I haven't noticed any hesitation. Both PC and laptop
 
Which is why I have windows defender turned off.
 
I have nothing turned off

They aren't allied anymore. More like mortal enemies now.
 
Did you update FF?
 
Windows Defender is horrendously slow. That's why. I don't know why but their scan engine is one of the slowest in existence. Av's not even 10 or 15 years ago were this slow which is just unacceptable if you ask me...
