Antivirus products run continuously to provide real-time protection against cyberthreats. This necessitates the consumption of computing resources such as CPU power and RAM. If such resource consumption is excessive, the device will slow down and applications may even crash. This imposes a hidden cost on antivirus as computing users do not get to enjoy the full power of the computer they paid for, and users may be forced to upgrade to expensive devices just to maintain usable performance levels.
K7 avoids these issues by prioritising efficiency when designing antivirus solutions. The low resource consumption of K7βs products has been confirmed in the Performance Test conducted by AV-Comparatives of Austria, where K7 emerged as the clear leader in a comparative evaluation of 17 international antivirus brands. Critically, K7 is the only antivirus provider to achieve the Very Fast rating across all of AV-Comparativesβ test categories.
Takeaway: K7βs protection will not cause your device to slow down.
